C. HEARING DATE: November 8, 1994 LOCATION: North side of Sandy Lake Road, approximately 600' east of Lodge Road SIZE OF AREA: 3.9 acres to build a church of approximately 9500 sq. ft. CURRENT ZONING: SF-12 REQUEST: SUP for a church APPLICANT: HISTORY: TRANSPORTATION: Rejoice Lutheran Church (Owner) Ken Hovland 720 Michelle Place Coppell, Tx. 75019 393-5776 Halff and Associates (Engineer) Jerry Roberts 4000 Fossil Creek Blvd. Ft. Worth, Tx. 76137 (817) 429-9975 There has been no recent zoning history in the immediate area. Sandy Lake Road is projected to be a four-lane divided road in a 110 foot right of way (C4D/6) SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING: North - developed single-family; PD SF-9 South - developed single-family; SF-12 East church building; SF-12 West - older rental single family units; SF-12 Item 14 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Plan shows single-family uses as most appropriate here. ANALYSIS: This request for a church SUP generally meets all our requirements with the exception of two: screening, and fire protection requirements. Because the building initially has less than 10,000 square feet, it is not required to be sprinklered. The church will, however, be required to place fire hydrants at locations suggested by the Fire Department, and is agreeable to that being a condition of approval. Screening is a bit more complicated. Because this use is defined as being a non-residential use in a residential zoning district, it is required to screen against any adjacent residential use. Because there is an existing wooden fence which separates this site from the residential subdivision to the north (put in by the residential developer) the church feels the requirement for a solid masonry screening fence along the common property line is not needed. In similar fashion, the church feels a masonry fence to its west should not be required. Although Council is the only body which can modify the fencing requirement, the applicant wanted the Commission to know that such variances would be requested when this case is presented to Council. The site plan is acceptable and strives to protect the existing tree cover, parking meets code, landscaping is in conformance with the streetscape plan, the proposed entry lines up with the future median cut in Sandy Lake Road, the elevations of the church building are striking, the siting of the building complements the drive up appeal of the facility and the setbacks are generous. Assuming the Fire Department concerns and the screening wall questions are resolved, the case would warrant approval subject to the attached site plan, landscape plan (with botanical names and quantities noted), streetscape provisions, and all other City requirements being met. ALTERNATIVES: 1) Approve the SUP 2) Deny the SUP 3) Modify the SUP ATrACHMENTS: 1) Zoning Exhibit 2) SLIP Site Plan 3) Front Elevation 4) Floor Plan 5) Monument Sign 6) Landscape Plan 7) Irrigation Plan this proposal.
