the original 8 5 acres and an additional 11 acres totaling 19 52 acres.
Two lots were shown on the replat- -Lot One that covered the church
site, and Lot Two which included the land upon which the

easements and fire lanes.

consideration Revised alignments need to be consistently reflected on all applicable plans

from a fire lane.
3 Preliminary Utility Plans need to be submitted reflecting new hydrant locations.
Engineering 1 Will modifications to the existing water system be required in order for the relocated fire lane
to be compliant pertaining to fire hydrant spacing? If so, include a plan
2 Proposed paving should not encroach into the fire lane
Additional comments may be generated upon detailed engineering review

HISTORY This property has had an interesting history over the last few years.
In 1989, an ordinance was passed allowing construction of the first
phase of St. Ann on approximately nine acres of land fronting
Samuel Boulevard. That ordinance also allowed stucco budding

materials. In 1997, an expansion to the church was allowed resulting
in a 36,000- square -foot sanctuary and a 6,000 - square -foot
administrative wing. An extension of time to build the expansion
was approved in 1998, and the current building was constructed. In
January of 2006, St. Ann requested and was granted a change in
zoning of the property commonly referred to as the Georgetown
Center from "C ", Commercial to SF -9 The purpose of rezoning
this 5 3 -acre parcel was to create a common, 20 -acre lot with all the
same base zoning—SF-9
The Georgetown Center was constructed in 1984 as a strip retail
shopping center and performed that function until St. Ann bought the
property in 1993 It continued to operate as a retail center for the
next ten years. In 2000 -2001, the church determined it needed more
space for church activities, and began to convert the building to
parish use The church now wishes to remodel the existing structure
so it can function as a religious entity in a more efficient way
TRANSPORTATION Sandy Lake Road is a C41), four -lane, divided street built to standard
in a 110 -foot right -of -way Samuel Boulevard is a C2U, two -lane,
undivided collector street with a 60 -foot right -of -way

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN- The May 1966 Comprehensive Plan as amended, shows the
property as suitable for Public /Institutional uses.
DISCUSSION There are several reasons for this zoning change One, the applicant
wishes to alter the zoning pattern so all land owned by St. Ann retains the
same zoning classification (SUP -SF -9) Two, the church proposes to
change portions of the interior and exterior of the former Georgetown
Shopping Center to better accommodate church activities. Three,
additional parking, play areas, new landscaping and a stucco finish on a
Item # 4
Page 2 of 3
portion of the existing building is requested to improve appearance and
enhance the unity of the site
Changing the zoning so all land owned by St. Ann is identical dust makes
sense, since the church proposes to utilize the former shopping center for
church activities, and the majority of the site has SUP and SF -9 zoning
today Staff has no objection to the rezoning request.
With regard to the remodeling of a portion of Georgetown, plans show
roughly 17,700 square feet of the 59,000 square foot center will be
remodeled Specifically, the north and west "L" portion of the center will
be refaced in a stucco material The remainder of the building will be
repainted in a buff color to resemble a stucco building. In addition, the
north side of the building will be remodeled with a covered, 3,600- square-
foot galleria and new entrance features. The interior space will be altered
to accommodate ten meeting rooms, a chapel, nursery, serving pantry,
storerooms and toilets Plans also call for revised parking, a new
playground on the west end of the existing building and additional
landscaping and color beds. Because the remodeling will be more in line
with the existing church (similar building materials, color, and
architectural style), staff has no objection to this portion of the project.
Additional parking is being proposed (a net increase in parking) which
complies with our landscaping standards, and a brick wall behind the north
wing of the center will be removed and replaced with landscaping,
additional parking, and a re- aligned fire lane Staff feels these alterations
will improve the overall appearance of the site and, with minor changes to
the plan listed as "conditions" below, can support this request.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
Staff is recommending APPROVAL of this request, subject to the
following conditions
1 Clearly show relocated fire lanes on both the Site Plan and
Landscape Plan.
2 Provide additional fire hydrants as required by the Fire Department.
ALTERNATIVES
1) Recommend approval of the request
2) Recommend disapproval of the request
3) Recommend modification of the request
4) Take under advisement for reconsideration at a later date
