Valley, Volume 508= Page 571. Action Requested A variance to Section 402.4.3 to allow a two story, Type II Construction addition to the existing Type IV_Construction building. Current Zoning of Subject Land Conditional Use Applicable Ordinance Section COMPLETE THE FOLLOWING FOR A VARIANCE REQUEST The following specific variation from the ordinance is requested. Allow the addition of a two story classroom building adjacent to the existing church facility. The new additions shall be Type II Construction. This variance is necessary due to the following special conditions. Limited site area prohibits one story expansion. The following alternatives to the requested variance are possible. A four hour fire wall could be constructed in the existing building which would divide the existing building into two buildings, one at 23,320 s.f. and one at • 20.325 s.f. This variance will not be contrary to the public interest by virtue of the following facts: The existing building currently has a two hour seperation between assembly and Sunday School space which is not required by Section 403.1. New construction includes two additional exits in the existing building and the addition of two fire hydrants for safety purposes. The new addition will be Type II Construction seperated from the existing building with a four hour fire wall. The new and existing facility will both have a fire sprinkler system. The facts stated by me in this application are true and correct to the best of my knowledge. September 27, 1993 James Holster, Age t for First Baptist Church Applicant Date CONSTRUCTION BOARD OF ADJUSTMENTS AND APPEALS STAFF REPORT Case Number: 93-010 Applicant: Holster & Associates, Inc. 7607 Eastmark Drive, suite 200 College Station, Texas 77840 Telephone: Jim Holster work: (409) 693-3179 home: Property Owner: First Baptist Church of College Station 2300 Welsh Avenue College Station, Texas 77840 Telephone: (409) 696-7000 Location of Property: 2300 Welsh Avenue College Station, Texas .77840 Description of Property: Section 30, Tract F, Southwood Valley, Volume 508, page 571. Zoning of Property: R-5 with Conditional Use Permit. Action Requested: A variance allowing for the addition of a of Type II construction to the existing Type IV building. The Type II section of the building is to have two stories which is a violation of the original special area modification allowed by section 400. Applicable Ordinances: The variance is requested to ordinance #1919 of the City of College Station Code of Ordinances Chapter #3 Appendix #1 the 1991 Standard Building Code section 402.4.3. This Occupancy Area Modification allows a building of unlimited area if it meets the following seven criteria: (1.) Must be a Group A - Assembly Occupancy without a working stage. (2.) Must be a one story building. (3.) Must be Type III, IV, IV - one hour, or V - one hour. (4.) Must be provided with an approved sprinkler system. (5.) Must be provided with 60 foot horizontal separation on all side's. (6.) The assembly floor is within 21 inches of street or grade level. The exit discharge is provided with ramps to grades which have a maximum slope of 1:10. The new structure would meet all of the above requirements except #2 and #3. The addition would be two story and be of Type II construction. ,sem- =k- s ... 'zws«a;.v .,e�.h 'Izs.. .. :. ...m=a«,•.m. _,.MQe .P,- ..:-r^ry -, .,..., «,aF*re°'rarr., Staff Comments: The Standard Building Code allows special occupancies area modifications under section 402.4. These modifications are based on code user experience and the associated fire load for those occupancies. They are designed to provide a certain amount of balance in the use and fire protection allotted for occupancies. The change of any of the requirements of the of the area modification tips the balance of public safety and lessens its effectiveness. The use of four hour rated fire walls to break this building into smaller areas allowing the smaller areas to comply with the areas of Table 400 would be a better solution to the problem. However, if some added protection could be provided to make up for the loss in protection that will be incurred by the allowance of the variance. There must be some concession to maintain the level of protection. QtANCO DR _ 111111 GEORGIE 1111111ga sa NOT In SCALE' .. K.
