Staff Recommendation
DENY the development plan for an expansion of the existing church on this site.
The denial is recommended because seven variances are required in order to meet the requirements of the zoning ordinance. Whether the variances are approved or not, it is staff's opinion that the proposed expansion is excessive for this relatively small site, and it is not compatible with the scale and intensity of surrounding development.
