• • • Planning & Zoning Meeting Minutes of June 21, 1990 Page 2 of 7 The applicant has, in conjunction with this request, submitted a property survey and a hand drawn site plan. The site plan, as drawn, appears to accurately reflect the tract of property identified on the survey. It should also be noted that public notice for this request was based on an application that did not reference lots 27 and 28. The applicant is not proposing any development for these lots at this time. The documents submitted satisfy Zoning Ordinance requirements for SCUP requests. It must however, be clearly understood that should the requested SCUP be granted, a formal Certified Site Plan, indicating compliance with all applicable City requirements, will be required from the applicant. The minimum building setbacks for religious institutions located in residential zones are: 30 feet front; 20 feet rear; 10 feet side. The applicant s site plan indicated the following setbacks: 55 feet front; 70 feet rear; 10 feet west side; 200 feet east side. As proposed, the church building will meet City setback requirements. As far as screening, the City wi 11 requi re a planting plan which wi 11 ® intersperse trees and low plantings. The screening will count towards the six per cent (6~) landscaping requirement of Section 5- 200, Table B. A landscape plan, to be approved by the Director of Community Development is a normal component of the Certified Site Plan.. The City's Thoroughfare Plan classifies North "L" as a "secondary arterial" which is proposed for eventual linkage with Barbour's Cut Blvd. As such, the street should have adequate capacity to accommodate any traffic generated by this church. A condition which the Commission may wish to attach to this permit, is a prohibition against driveway entrances on Fieldcrest Drive. This prohibition would serve to limit traffic flow through the Greendale Subdivision. Size and location of driveway entrances will be subject to the requirements of Zoning Ordinance Section 10-605. Additionally, as North "L" is a Harris County right-of-way, County driveway permits will also be required. As far as compati bi 1 i ty with surrounding area, i t i s the Commi ss i on ~ s charge to determine whether or not thi s bui 1 di ng design i s compati bl e with the surrounding neighborhood. The building will be a single story, rectangular, with a metal roof, metal side and rear walls with a wood and brick facade on the front. Regarding parking, Rev. Rawls, in his application letter, states that • the sanctuary will have a maximum seating capacity of one hundred (100) persons. Based on this figure, the Zoning Ordinance requires parking for a minimum of thirty-five (35) vehicles.
