AGENDA ITEM NO. 7: Public hearing, discussion, and possible action on a Conditional Use Permit and Site Plan for the Seventh Day Adventist Church located at 1350 Earl Rudder Freeway South. (01-180) Staff Planner Hitchcock presented the Staff Report. Ms. Hitchcock stated that Staff recommends approval of the Conditional Use Permit and Site Plan. She explained that the applicant is proposing to develop a fellowship building and sanctuary that would be used for services, meetings, and classes. Phase 1 of this development will consist of a 4351 sq. ft. fellowship building where church activities will take place until the sanctuary is built with Phase 2. The subject property is zoned R-1 and R-3. To buffer the abutting residential area, a six-foot wooden fence is proposed and will be installed along lots 5, 6, and 7 of Cat Hollow. Much of the natural vegetation will be preserved and additional landscaping and berms are also planned. Finally, signage has been proposed for consideration as well. Chairman Floyd opened the public hearing. Chuck Ellison, 2902 Camille Drive, spoke in favor of the Conditional Use Permit. He stated that because the ingress/egress will be to the frontage road, there will be no appreciable impact of traffic in the neighborhoods. Chairman Floyd asked about the proposed lighting. Mr. Ellison explained that the lighting will be directed away from abutting residential properties. David Claridge, 1500 Lynx Cove, spoke in favor of the Conditional Use Permit and addressed concerns raised by the Commission regarding the natural vegetation and landscaping vs the proposed wooden fencing. Chairman Floyd closed the public hearing. Commissioner Happ motioned to approve as submitted. Commissioner Williams seconded the motion. Commissioner Kaiser asked for clarification on the berming plan. Mr. Claridge stated that a survey was conducted and planning was done in consideration of the natural vegetation. He added that the depth to the detention base is the driving factor, which would allow the water to collect in a natural basin. Chairman Floyd called the question. The motion carried 4-2, with Commissioners Floyd and McMath voting in opposition.
