Decision: Approved

Hearing: The applicant is proposing to construct a religious facility on two vacant residential lots. This site was granted a special exception in 2012 for a similar use but that approval expired in 2015. Staff met with the applicant and they agreed to move the building up to the corner to keep all the traffic along S. Rio Grande Ave. Staff explained the site, showed site photos, submitted the traffic study, and went over the requested parking agreement. The applicant agreed with staff's presentation and was available for any questions. No one was present at the public hearing to speak on this application. The BZA felt the request was compatible at this location and approved the special exception and variances.
