(See Exhibit A) R-l, Low Density Residential. Zion Hill Baptist Church is seeking a Special Exception to waive the on site parking requirements of Zoning Ordinance Section 10-609 and to allow a reduced number of parking spaces to serve as required parking. This exception has been requested under the provisions of Zoning Ordinance Section 11- 605.2.C. The Zion Hill Baptist Church was established in it's present location in 1903. Due to deterioration of the building, the church has decided to demolish and replace the original sanctuary building. The proposed sanctuary will seat a maximum of 150 people as opposed to the 130 persons that can be accommodated by the present building. Zoning Ordinance Section 10-609 requires a minimum of 48 parking spaces for a church with 150 seats. The church presently has no on-premise parking, but rather makes use of the approximately 35 space parking lot located across the street at the De Walt Alternative School (See Exhibit A). This is done under the terms of a long standing joint parking agreement with the La Porte School District. The church is proposing to maintain this agreement after construction of the new sanctuary and is seeking this Special Exception to allow the 35 spaces in the De Walt lot serve as the required church parking.
