Item: Presentation, possible action and discussion regarding a site plan for Washington Baptist
Church, located at 1801 Texas Avenue South in the Wolf Pen Creek Zoning District.

Item Summary: The proposed site plan includes improvements to the parking lot and
landscape and the addition of a retaining wall for Washington Chapel Baptist Church, located

Development Ordinance.
Administrator Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of the proposed changes.
Issues/Items for Review:
1. Relationship of the site to adjoining area—A significant elevation difference exists between
this property and the adjacent tract to the north, Wolf Pen Plaza. A retaining wall has been
proposed along a portion of the property and a vehicular connection to Wolf Pen Plaza has
been provided.
2. Miscellaneous structures and street hardware—The retaining wall will be constructed of a
red brick material. A sample will be available at the meeting.
3. Landscaping —The landscaping is provided in accordance with the Unified Development
