The items before you for consideration involve four (4) zoning amendment ordinances that need
to qe reviewed as a single package, which relate to a Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Plan
and Map amendment establishing a new "Religious" category.
On July 24,2012 the City Commission voted affirmatively on first reading of the proposed
amendment to proceed with the application of this "new" religious category to the City's Future
Land Use Map to two properties; Fellowship Church and University Christian Church. At that
time, the Commission requested that staff also proceed on a parallel track with the adoption ,of
land development regulations for this use. On August 7,2012 prior to the public hearing and
final reading on this amendment, the Commission deferred both items until September 4, 2012.
The deferral was due in part to the fact that staff was bringing a land development proposal to the
Planning Board for review, and that one of the properties possibly affected, filed an objection to
the proposal and requesting a stay in the adoption until additional information could be presented
to the Commission.
On August 14, 2012 following a public hearing, the Planning Board recommended approval of
the proposed land development code amendment establishing a new Religious zoning category
and zoning map amendment from Public Institutional "PI," to Religious "R," for the properties
located at to 6781 Sunset Drive (Fellowship Church), and 6750 Sunset Drive (University
Christian Church) by a vote of 5 ayes 1 nay; and
The proposal before you is a amendment to the City's Land Development Code that creates the
"Religious" category, and addresses religious facilities and their ancillary uses. Under the
current code, religious institutions are covered under the Public Institutional Category. Since the
City adopted both a "new" Public Institutional Land Use Category, which deleted the church
uses and school uses and created a new religious and educational categories, these uses were
broken out in the permitted use schedule Section 20-3.3(D). The proposal amends three sections
of the land development code as follows: Section 20-3.1 -Zoning use districts and purposes;
Section 20-3.3(D) -Permitted use schedule; and Section 20-3.4 -Special use conditions.
Additionally, the fourth proposed amendment applies the new "Religious" zoning district to the
two properties located at 6781 Sunset Drive, and 6750 Sunset Drive.
