HISTORY:
In October of 2002, Council approved a Site Plan request to
allow a 1,558 square foot expansion to the existing 29,500
square foot church building. In addition, 24 new parking
spaces were added to accommodate the enlarged facility.
The overall approved construction package included a
porte cochere, a new rotunda, a breezeway connecting
the main church to an existing 11,000 square foot building to

its rear, and colonnade walls provided to add architectural
interest. The breezeway has yet to be constructed.
TRANSPORTATION:
Heartz Road is a C2U, two-lane undivided roadway built to
standard in a 50 foot right-of-way.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North-Single family residential; PD-166-SF-7
South -Single family residential; SF-7
East -Single family residential; SF-7
West -Single family residential; SF-7
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Plan, as amended, shows the property
as suitable for a variety of institutional uses including a
church.
DISCUSSION:
This amendment to an existing church Site Plan would allow
construction of a 70 foot tall bell tower on this 5.9 acre site.
The bell tower is proposed to serve two purposes. One, the
addition of a bell tower to an existing church will enhance
the church presence in the neighborhood, and is a typical
structure found on many church properties. Two, the bell
tower will serve as a "stealth" structure allowing T-Mobile to
locate cell phone antennas at the top of the tower in an
area warranting additional telephone service in a non-
threatening, and aesthetically pleasing manner. Because it
will be enclosed within the bell tower, the antennas will be
hidden from public view. The bell in the structure is non-
functional and will not ring. The equipment needed to
service the antennas will be located on the ground in a 20
foot by 20 foot enclosure shown on the amending Site Plan.
Screening walls shielding this equipment will be identical to
the existing building and again, will not impose upon
neighborhood quality. The antennas themselves are 6 feet
tall, 7 inches wide and 3 inches thick. The three antennas
proposed to be located within the tower will be the same
basic color as the tower, and, as mentioned above, totally
screened from public view.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
