VII. BACKGROUND

The existing church was built in 1964 prior to the City's zoning regulations. The church propertywas previously owned by First Presbyterian Church. The church property was originally 4.5

acres. In 2003, First Presbyterian Church sold the southern 0.78 acres to Farley Funeral Home.

The remaining 3.7 acres with the church building was sold to New Hope Community Church in2008.

The applicant reports that since 2008 the church's congregation has grown to the extent thatthe existing building can no longer support all of the church's activities. New Hope's statedvision is to ultimately construct additional facilities to accommodate its current and futurecongregation and ever expanding ministries and community services it supports.

Page 11: Katy of North Mort

Petition No. SPX-13-075 Project Name: New Hope Community Church Expansion

In 2013, the applicant purchased three former modular classrooms to be temporarily locatedon their property until construction of new facilities could be funded. They placed the modular

units on their property without building permits or land use review.

Phase 1 includes the general

location of the threetemporary modular units;Phase 2 includes the generallocation for their new facility;both will ultimately bereviewed as a Major Site and

Development (MAS) prior toissuance of building permits.

The use and the site arecurrently nonconforming. The

use would be consideredconforming upon the approval of a Special Exception. The site has several nonconformities,including landscaping, parking lot improvements, and architectural design elements.

In the application narrative, the applicant asserts that since the property is within ActivityCenter #1, which specifically identifies houses of worship as an allowable use, they should not

be required to request a Special Exception.

- Staff Response: Activity Center #1 (AC#1) is the future land use for the property, not the

official zoning district. The intent of Unified Land Development Code (ULDC) Chapter 55-Activity Center Design Regulations is to ensure that the development within Activity Centers

have identifying characteristics and design that are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan

Goals. The permitted uses listed in Chapter 55 would also come into play if a rezone were

requested, which would need to be consistent with this chapter.

ULDC Chapter 53-Zoning Regulations, Part 1-General Provisions, Section 53-3-General

Requirements, Subsection Q states "if the use is not expressly permitted or prohibited in azoning district, it shall be required to apply for a special exceptions permit." The property iszoned Single-Family Residential and houses of worship are neither permitted norprohibited, therefore a Special Exception is required.

VIII. STAFF ANALYSIS

This section includes ULDC citations, ULDC criteria relevant to the request is in bold, followed

by findings of fact and conclusions related to each criterion in italics.

A. Special Exception

ULDC Chapter 53-Zoning Regulations, Article XXII-Special Exceptions, Section 53-259-Findings

states "Before any special exception shall be recommended for approval, the Planning andZoning Advisory Board shall make a written report and recommendation that:

Page 8 of 16

Page 12: Katy of North Mort

Petition No. SPX-13-075 Project Name: New Hope Community Church Expansion

1. The granting of the special exception will not adversely affect the public interest, health,

safety and general welfare.

Applicant: Since the City Commission adopted Chapter 55, Article 1, "Mediterranea (Activity

Center #1)"; Section 55-15(8), ULDC, wherein the City Commission listed "Houses of

Worship" on a minimum two (2) acre parcel as a "permitted principal use and structure"; it

must be presumed as a matter of law that the granting of a special exception so that New

Hope may continue to use its property and expand its existing use as a House of Worship,

will not adversely affect the public interest, health, safety and general welfare. If such use

would be expected to adversely affect the public interest, health, safety or general welfare,

the City Commission would have exceeded its "police power" authority in designating a

House of Worship as a permitted principal use and structure.

Staff: Activity Center #1 (AC#1) is the future land use for the property, not the official zoning

district. ULDC Chapter 53-Zoning Regulations, Part 1-General Provisions, Section 53-3-

General Requirements, Subsection Q states "If the use is not expressly permitted or

prohibited in a zoning district, it shall be required to apply for a special exceptions permit."

The property is zoned Single-Family Residential and houses of worship are neither

permitted nor prohibited, therefore a Special Exception is required.

There has been a church on this site since the 1960s. The site is approximately 3.7 acres so

there is sufficient space to expand the use without adverse impact to the public.

- Staff concludes that this criterion is met.

2. That the specific requirements in the Schedule of District Regulations (Part 2) governing

the individual special exception, if any, have been met by the petitioner.

Applicant: There are no specific requirements in the Schedule of District Regulations

pertaining to Houses of Worship. Therefore, this requirement is satisfied.

Staff: ULDC 53-Zoning Regulations, Article IX-RSF Residential Single Family District, Section

53-120-Intent states "Certain structures and uses designated to serve governmental,

educational, religious, noncommercial recreation and other immediate needs of such areas

are permitted or permissible as special exceptions within such districts, subject to

restrictions and requirements necessary to preserve and protect their residential single-

family character." For Phase 1, the applicant is proposing to place three temporary modular

units until such time they are able to construct their Phase 2 facility. Phases 1 & 2 will be

reviewed through the MAS process.

- Staff concludes that the Special Exception can meet this criterion with the following

conditions:

Condition 2.1: If the modular units are still in place in two years, the Special Exception

will expire and the applicant will need to request an extension of the Special Exception,

which must be approved by the Commission.

Condition 2.2: The temporary modular structures must be removed prior to occupancy

of the Phase 2 facility.

And that the following standards, where applicable, have been met:

Page 9 of 16

Page 13: Katy of North Mort

Petition No. SPX-13-075 Project Name: New Hope Community Church Expansion

3. The proposed use shall be consistent with the intent, goals, objectives, policies andprograms of the City of North Port Comprehensive Plan and the intent of the zoningdistrict as defined in this Unified Land Development Code for the area in which theproperty is located.

Applicant: Since the City Commission adopted Chapter 55, Article 1, "Mediterranea (ActivityCenter #1)", Section 55-15(B), ULDC, wherein the City Commission listed "Houses ofWorship" on a minimum two (2) acre parcel as a "permitted principal use and structure"; itmust be presumed as a matter of law that this standard has been met.

Staff: The future land use of the property is Activity Center #1, which allows houses ofworship within the mix of allowed uses. The residential zoning was in place prior to theadoption of the City's Activity Centers. Single-family development is not an allowed use inActivity Center #1. Therefore, the intent of the zoning district is inconsistent with theComprehensive Plan. The church use is, however, consistent with the future land use ofActivity Center #1 and will be consistent with the zoning district upon approval of theSpecial Exception.

- Staff concludes that this criterion is met.

4. The density or intensity of the proposed use shall be consistent with the intended futureuse of the designated land use area in which the property is located, in accordance withthe provisions of the Future Land Use Plan Map contained in the Comprehensive Plan.

Applicant: Since the City Commission adopted Chapter 55, Article 1, "Mediterranea (ActivityCenter #1)", Section 55-15(B), ULDC, wherein the City Commission listed "Houses ofWorship" on a minimum two (2) acre parcel as a "permitted principal use and structure"; itmust be presumed as a matter of law that this standard has been met.

Staff: The future land use is Activity Center #1, which allows houses of worship on parcelsthat are two acres or more. The subject property is approximately 3.7 acres and anydevelopment will need to meet the maximum lot coverage, minimum setback requirements,and maximum building height for the Residential Single Family zoning district, therefore theSpecial Exception is consistent with the intended future land use.

- Staff concludes that this criterion is met.

5. The proposed use, singularly or in combination with other previously approved specialexceptions, must not be detrimental to the health, safety, welfare, morals, order,comfort, convenience, appearance or prosperity of the neighborhood or adjacent uses;and shall be an economic benefit to the economy of the City.

Applicant: Since the City Commission adopted Chapter 55, Article 1, "Mediterranea (ActivityCenter #1)'; Section 55-15(B), ULDC, wherein the City Commission listed "Houses ofWorship" on a minimum two (2) acre parcel as a "permitted principal use and structure"; itmust be presumed as a matter of law that this standard has been met.

Staff: The existing church has been on the subject property since the 1960s, the adjacentuses are commercial and industrial in nature, and the 3.7-acre site can potentiallyaccommodate an expansion of the use in a manner that is acceptable to the residential

Page 10 of 16

Page 14: Katy of North Mort

Petition No. SPX-13-075 Project Name: New Hope Community Church Expansion

neighborhood across the street. Churches cannot be expected to provide economic benefitto the economy of the City.

- Staff concludes that this criterion is met with the addition of the Special ExceptionConditions 2.1 and 2.2 above and Waivers Condition 1.1 in the section that follows.

6. The intensity of the proposed use shall be harmonious with the character of other uses inthe neighborhood.

Applicant: Since the City Commission adopted Chapter 55, Article 1, "Mediterranea (ActivityCenter #1)"; Section 55-15(8), ULDC, wherein the City Commission listed "Houses ofWorship" on a minimum two (2) acre parcel as a "permitted principal use and structure"; itmust be presumed as a matter of law that this standard has been met.

Staff: The surrounding uses include a private school to the north, drainage and industrialuse to the east, vacant lot and funeral home to the south, and a road and residential areato the west. There are other structures that are commercial in nature adjacent to theabovementioned uses. In addition, the Phase 1 modular units are intended to be temporary,and both phases will be reviewed in more detail through the MAS process.

- Staff concludes that this criterion is met with the addition of Special ExceptionConditions 2.1 and 2.2 above, as well as Waiver Condition 1.1 in the section thatfollows.

7. The height and orientation of any proposed structure(s) shall be compatible with existingneighboring structures and uses.

Applicant: The maximum height permitted with the RSF-2, Residential, Single-Family zoningdistrict is 35 feet. The height of the three temporary modular units is substantially less thanthe maximum permitted height, and is less than the height of the existing structure on thesubject property. Thus, this standard has been met.

Staff: The height of the Phase 1 modular units is reported as 12 feet by the applicant. Theexisting church and structures on adjacent properties are as tall or taller than the proposedmodular units. The units are also at the back of the property oriented toward the existingparking lot, which diminishes their appearance from the perspective of the street.

- Staff concludes that this criterion is met.

8. The subject parcel shall be adequate in shape and size to accommodate the proposed useand provide for appropriate separation between neighboring uses.

Applicant: The subject parcel consists of 162,130 square feet, or 3.7 acres. The subjectparcel is more that adequate in shape and size to accommodate the proposed use andprovide for appropriate separation between neighboring uses. Thus, this standard has beenmet.

Staff: The lot is approximately 3.7 acres with dimensions of approximately 550' long and350' deep. This size and shape is adequate for accommodating the proposed accessorystructures while providing appropriate separation between neighboring uses.

- Staff concludes that this criterion is met.

Page 15: Katy of North Mort

Petition No. SPX-13-075 Project Name: New Hope Community Church Expansion

9. The proposed use shall be adequately screened and buffered to effectively separatetraffic, light and noise from existing or intended nearby uses.

Applicant: The proposed use complies with all applicable screening and bufferingrequirements applicable within "Mediterranea (Activity Center #1). Thus, this standard hasbeen met.

Staff: The lot to the north is zoned Office, Professional, Institutional and the existing use isinstitutional. No buffering or screening is required between similar uses. The vacant lot tothe south is zoned residential, however, because of the size and shape of that lot (60' wide,350' deep), and the fact that it is owned by the adjacent commercial use (funeral home), itis unlikely it will be developed for residential use. NOTE: The applicant requested a waiverto the requirements for buffering, which is addressed in Section 8 of this Staff Analysis.

- Staff concludes that this criterion is met with Condition 1.1 in the Waiver Requestssection.

10. The loading and/or refuse areas shall not impose negative visual, odor or noise impactson abutting uses or thoroughfares.

Applicant: As reflected on the submitted Site Plan, there is adequate area on the subjectparcel to ensure that loading and/or refuse areas shall not impose negative visual, odor ornoise impacts on abutting uses or thoroughfares. Thus, this standard has been met.

Staff: No additional loading or refuse areas are proposed.

- Staff concludes that this criterion is not applicable.

11. The size and location of proposed sign(s) shall be in compliance with Chapter 29, SignRegulations of these regulations, and shall be compatible with the character of theexisting neighboring uses.

Applicant: No new signs are proposed by New Hope. Thus, this standard has been met.

Staff: There are no additional signs proposed. Any additional signs would be reviewedunder a separate building permit.

- Staff concludes that this criterion is not applicable.

12. Exterior lighting shall be harmonious with the character of existing neighboring uses, interms of glare, and required footcandles.

Applicant: Lighting shall be provided as per the requirements of all applicable regulations.Thus, this standard has been met.

Staff: There is existing lighting on the site. No information was provided regarding thelighting for Phases 1 & 2. Per the ULDC Chapter 53-Zoning Regulations, Section 53-3-General Requirements, (O) Lighting will be required to provide a minimum of 0.9footcandles in all parking and pedestrian areas related to new development prior tooccupancy of the Phase 1 & 2 structures. Lighting will be reviewed in more detail during theMAS process.

- Staff concludes that this criterion has been met.

13. The ingress and egress to the subject parcel and any structure involved shall notadversely affect traffic flow, safety or control.

Applicant: New Hope is not proposing any change in existing ingress and egress to thesubject parcel or to the three temporary modular units. Thus, there are no changes toexisting conditions which will affect traffic flow, safety, or control. Thus, this standard hasbeen met.

Staff: The City's infrastructure engineer, Ben Newman, reviewed the Special Exception andhad 'no objection'. Ingress and egress, as well as off-street parking, will be reviewed inmore detail during the MAS process.

- Staff concludes that this criterion is met.

14. The access and internal circulation shall be adequate in case of fire or emergency.

Applicant: New Hope is not proposing any change in existing access and internal circulationof the subject parcel or to the three temporary modular units. As reflected on the submittedSite Plan, there is adequate area on the subject parcel to ensure that access and internalcirculation shall be adequate in case of fire or emergency. Thus, this standard has beenmet.

Staff: The City's Fire Marshall, Michael Frantz, reviewed the proposal and determined thatthe Special Exception 'meets requirements'. Approval of this petition does not includeapproval of the location of the temporary modular structures. These issues will be reviewedin more detail during the MAS process.

- Staff concludes that this criterion is met.

15. The proposed use shall not adversely affect traffic flow, safety or control on thesurrounding roadway system.

Applicant: There will be no increase in the number of trips to and from its property as aconsequence of the installation of the three temporary modular units. Thus, this standardhas been met.

Staff: The City's infrastructure engineer, Ben Newman, reviewed the Special Exception andhad 'no objection'. Traffic impact will be reviewed in more detail during the MAS process.

- Staff concludes that this criterion is met.

16. The location, type and availability of proposed potable water systems shall be adequatefor the proposed use and shall not adversely affect neighboring potable water systems.

Applicant: The subject property is already served by a potable water system. New Hopedoes not anticipate any significant change in its existing potable water system as aconsequence of the installation of the three temporary modular units. Thus, this standardhas been met.

Staff: Water service is available to the site (ATTACHMENT 2).

- Staff concludes that this criterion is met.

17. The location, type and availability of proposed wastewater systems shall be adequate forthe proposed use and compatible with drainage conditions in the area and neighboringuses.

Applicant: The subject property is already served by a wastewater system. New Hope does

not anticipate any significant change in its existing wastewater system as a consequence of

the installation of the three temporary modular units. Thus, this standard has been met.

Staff: Wastewater service is available to the site (ATTACHMENT 2).

- Staff concludes that this criterion is met.

18. The proposed use shall not cause or intensify flooding of neighboring uses."

Applicant: A SWFWMD exemption permit has already been granted for the modular units,

and therefore will meet this standard.

Staff: The entire lot is in Flood Zone 8 on the current FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Maps (Sept

2, 1981). Zone 8 is considered a moderate risk area by FEMA. The City's stormwater

manager, Elizabeth Wong, reviewed the Special Exception and deemed that it 'meetsrequirements.' Storm water and floodplain issues will be reviewed in further detail duringthe MAS review process.

- Staff concludes that this criterion is met.

B. Waivers

ULDC Article XXII-Special Exceptions: Section 53-254(8) states "The City Commission may

approve special exceptions, subject to appropriate safeguards. When appropriate, the CityCommission may waive or modify specific regulations contained in the Unified LandDevelopment Code Ordinance No. 90-28 on a case-by-case basis to ensure comfort,convenience, appearance, prosperity or general welfare. Such uses may be permissible in azoning classification or district as a special exception if specific provision for such a specialexception is made in these zoning regulations. However, such uses are not deemed to beappropriate within a zoning district without demonstration by the petitioner that the specialexception complies with this section."

The applicant is requesting two waivers; one related to landscape buffers and the other for thedesign elements for Activity Center #1. The applicant asserts that neither waiver should berequired.

1. Waiver Request #1- Landscape Buffers: The applicant points out that the language in ULDC

Chapter 53-Zoning Regulations, Part 1-General Provisions, Section 53-3(K)-Buffers states"When a non-residential development abuts a residential development, adequatebuffering shall be placed between the uses, see Chapter 21, Landscape Regulations."

Chapter 21-Landscape Regulations, Section 21-9-Landscaping the perimeter of abutting landuses, (D) Determination of perimeter buffer requirements addresses the proposeddevelopment relative to abutting existing uses. The proposed expansion areas are adjacent

to a vacant residential parcel to the south, and an institutional use to the north.

Page 18: Katy of North Mort

Petition No. SPX-13-075 Project Name: New Hope Community Church Expansion

- Staff concur that the buffer requirements do not apply on the northern and southernboundaries of the property.

Item W-Landscape along waterways and parks from the same section, requires a 10 foot

buffer along the side that abuts a waterway. The eastern boundary is along a waterway,however, there is existing vegetation that provides a buffer, albeit mainly from an invasivespecies. The City Arborist, Ryan Pieper, feels that the existing buffer is adequate for the

Phase 1 expansion area. The waiver can be applied to Phase 1 of the Special Exception only.

- Staff recommends approval of this Waiver Request with the following condition:

Condition 1.1: The waiver to the buffering requirements along the waterway onlyapplies to Phase 1.

2. Waiver Request #2 - AC#1 Desien Elements: The applicant notes that on page 33 under the

APPLICABILTY heading in the US 41 Architectural District section of the Urban Design

Standards Pattern Book, it states "The provision of this Section shall be applicable to aspectsof architecture, lighting, and monument signage for all new commercial developments,buildings, and exterior improvements done in conjunction with substantial improvement(s)of existing developments, buildings, and structures (except single family residential) locatedwithin the US 41 Architectural Guidelines District Boundaries, excluding Trott Circle."AC#1 is

the only Activity Center that specifies that the architectural standards only apply tocommercial development, and given that the existing church was built in 1964, it's notreasonable to expect the accessory structures to adhere to Mediterranean architecturalstandards.

- Staff concur that the AC#1 Architectural Design Standards do not apply to this Special

Exception, therefore, a Waiver is not necessary.

However, the Urban Design Standards Pattern Book APPLICABILITY section also states "The

provisions of the Mediterranean Architectural Color section related to repainting shall beapplicable to all structures." The existing church meets the Mediterranean architecturalcolor requirements; therefore, the accessory structures can be painted to match the primarystructure. The Mediterranean Architectural Color requirements still apply to this SpecialException.

X. STAFF RECOMMENDATION

Special Exception: Recommend approval to the City Commission with the followingconditions:

Condition 2.1: If the modular units are still in place in two years, the Special Exceptionwill expire and the applicant will need to request an extension of the Special Exception,which must be approved by the Commission.

Condition 2.2: The temporary modular structures must be removed prior to occupancyof the Phase 2 facility.

Waiver Request #1 - Landscape Buffers: Staff concur with the applicant that thelandscape buffer requirements do not apply on the northern and southern boundaries ofthe property, therefore, waivers are not needed along the northern and southernperimeters of the property. However, a waiver is necessary to the buffering requirementsalong the waterway. The existing trees are an adequate buffer for the Phase 1 temporarystructures. Buffering will be revisited for Phase 2 during the MAS process.

Recommend approval to the City Commission with the following condition:

Condition 1.1: The waiver to the buffering requirements along the waterway onlyapplies to Phase 1.

Waiver Request #2 - AC#1 Design Elements: Staff concur that the AC#1 Design Standardsdo not apply to this Special Exception, therefore, a Waiver is not necessary. However, theMediterranean architectural color requirements still apply.

Vll. BACKGROUND

The existing church was built in 1964 prior to the City's zoning regulations. The church propertywas previously owned by First Presbyterian Church. The church property was originally 4.5acres. In 2003, First Presbyterian Church sold the southern 0.78 acres to Farley Funeral Home.The remaining 3.7 acres with the church building was sold to New Hope Community Church in2008.

The applicant reports that since 2008 the church's congregation has grown to the extent thatthe existing building can no longer support all of the church's activities. New Hope's statedvision is to ultimately construct additional facilities to accommodate its current and futurecongregation and ever expanding ministries and community services it supports.

In 2013, the applicant purchased three former modular classrooms to be temporarily locatedon their property until construction of new facilities could be funded. The Church asked the City

Page 7 of 16

Page 27: Katy of North Mort

Petition No. SPX-13-075 Project Name: New Hope Community Church Expansion

for permission to store the modular units onsite because they were under a time crunch to

purchase the units. City staff told the Church representative that they could store them, but

that they would need to be tied down in case of storm, placed an adequate distance from the

existing church, and that they would need to go through a land use review process and obtain

building permits before they could occupy the modular units. The City's Building Official and

Fire Marshall determined that the modular units are out of compliance with several aspects of

the Florida Building Codes, which would all need to be addressed prior to occupancy.

Phase 1 includes the generallocation of the threetemporary modular units;Phase 2 includes the generallocation for their new facility;both will ultimately bereviewed as a Major Site and

Development (MAS) prior to

issuance of building permits.

The use and the site arecurrently nonconforming. The

use would be consideredconforming upon the approval of a Special Exception. The site has several nonconformities,

including landscaping, parking lot improvements, and architectural design elements.

In the application narrative, the applicant asserts that since the property is within Activity

Center #1, which specifically identifies houses of worship as an allowable use, they should not

be required to request a Special Exception.

- Staff Response: Activity Center #1 (AC#1) is the future land use for the property, not theofficial zoning district. The intent of Unified Land Development Code (ULDC) Chapter 55-

Activity Center Design Regulations is to ensure that the development within Activity Centers

have identifying characteristics and design that are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan

Goals. The permitted uses listed in Chapter 55 would also come into play if a rezone were

requested, which would need to be consistent with this chapter.

ULDC Chapter 53-Zoning Regulations, Part 1-General Provisions, Section 53-3-General

Requirements, Subsection Q states "If the use is not expressly permitted or prohibited in a

zoning district, it shall be required to apply for a special exceptions permit." The property is

zoned Single-Family Residential and houses of worship are neither permitted nor

prohibited, therefore a Special Exception is required.

VIII. STAFF ANALYSIS

This section includes ULDC citations, ULDC criteria relevant to the request is in bold, followed

by findings of fact and conclusions related to each criterion in italics.

Page 8 of 16

Page 28: Katy of North Mort

Petition No. SPX-13-075 Project Name: New Hope Community Church Expansion

A. Special Exception

ULDC Chapter 53-Zoning Regulations, Article XXII-Special Exceptions, Section 53-259-Findingsstates "Before any special exception shall be approved, the City Commission shall determinethat:

1. The granting of the special exception will not adversely affect the public interest, health,safety and general welfare.

Applicant: Since the City Commission adopted Chapter 55, Article 1, "Mediterranea (ActivityCenter #1)"; Section 55-15(8), ULDC, wherein the City Commission listed "Houses ofWorship" on a minimum two (2) acre parcel as a "permitted principal use and structure"; itmust be presumed as a matter of law that the granting of a special exception so that NewHope may continue to use its property and expand its existing use as a House of Worship,will not adversely affect the public interest, health, safety and general welfare. If such usewould be expected to adversely affect the public interest, health, safety or general welfare,the City Commission would have exceeded its "police power" authority in designating aHouse of Worship as a permitted principal use and structure.

Staff: Activity Center #1 (AC#1) is the future land use for the property, not the official zoningdistrict. ULDC Chapter 53-Zoning Regulations, Part 1-General Provisions, Section 53-3-General Requirements, Subsection Q states "If the use is not expressly permitted orprohibited in a zoning district, it shall be required to apply for a special exceptions permit."The property is zoned Single-Family Residential and houses of worship are neitherpermitted nor prohibited, therefore a Special Exception is required.

There has been a church on this site since the 1960s. The site is approximately 3.7 acres sothere is sufficient space to expand the use without adverse impact to the public.

- Staff concludes that this criterion is met.

2. That the specific requirements in the Schedule of District Regulations (Part 2) governingthe individual special exception, if any, have been met by the petitioner.

Applicant: There are no specific requirements in the Schedule of District Regulationspertaining to Houses of Worship. Therefore, this requirement is satisfied.

Staff: ULDC 53-Zoning Regulations, Article IX-RSF Residential Single Family District Section53-120-Intent states "Certain structures and uses designated to serve governmental,educational, religious, noncommercial recreation and other immediate needs of such areasare permitted or permissible as special exceptions within such districts, subject torestrictions and requirements necessary to preserve and protect their residential single-family character." For Phase 1, the applicant is proposing to place three temporary modularunits until such time they are able to construct their Phase 2 facility. Phases 1 & 2 will bereviewed through the MAS process.

- Staff concludes that the Special Exception can meet this criterion with the followingconditions:

Condition 2.1: If the modular units are still in place in two years, the Special Exceptionwill expire and the applicant will need to request an extension of the Special Exception,which must be approved by the Commission.

Page 9 of 16

Page 29: Katy of North Mort

Petition No. SPX-13-075 Project Name: New Hope Community Church Expansion

Condition 2.2: The temporary modular structures must be removed prior to occupancyof the Phase 2 facility.

And that the following standards, where applicable, have been met:

3. The proposed use shall be consistent with the intent, goals, objectives, policies andprograms of the City of North Port Comprehensive Plan and the intent of the zoningdistrict as defined in this Unified Land Development Code for the area in which theproperty is located.

Applicant: Since the City Commission adopted Chapter 55, Article 1, "Mediterranea (ActivityCenter #1)"; Section 55-15(B), ULDC, wherein the City Commission listed "Houses ofWorship" on a minimum two (2) acre parcel as a "permitted principal use and structure", itmust be presumed as a matter of law that this standard has been met.

Staff: The future land use of the property is Activity Center #1, which allows houses ofworship within the mix of allowed uses. The residential zoning was in place prior to theadoption of the City's Activity Centers. Single-family development is not an allowed use inActivity Center #1. Therefore, the intent of the zoning district is inconsistent with theComprehensive Plan. The church use is, however, consistent with the future land use ofActivity Center #1 and will be consistent with the zoning district upon approval of theSpecial Exception.

- Staff concludes that this criterion is met.

4. The density or intensity of the proposed use shall be consistent with the intended futureuse of the designated land use area in which the property is located, in accordance withthe provisions of the Future Land Use Plan Map contained in the Comprehensive Plan.

Applicant: Since the City Commission adopted Chapter 55, Article 1, "Mediterranea (ActivityCenter #1)"; Section 55-15(B), ULDC, wherein the City Commission listed "Houses ofWorship" on a minimum two (2) acre parcel as a "permitted principal use and structure"; itmust be presumed as a matter of law that this standard has been met.

Staff: The future land use is Activity Center #1, which allows houses of worship on parcelsthat are two acres or more. The subject property is approximately 3.7 acres and anydevelopment will need to meet the maximum lot coverage, minimum setback requirements,and maximum building height for the Residential Single Family zoning district, therefore theSpecial Exception is consistent with the intended future land use.

- Staff concludes that this criterion is met.

5. The proposed use, singularly or in combination with other previously approved specialexceptions, must not be detrimental to the health, safety, welfare, morals, order,comfort, convenience, appearance or prosperity of the neighborhood or adjacent uses;and shall be an economic benefit to the economy of the City.

Applicant: Since the City Commission adopted Chapter 55, Article 1, "Mediterranea (ActivityCenter #1)"; Section 55-15(8), ULDC, wherein the City Commission listed "Houses ofWorship" on a minimum two (2) acre parcel as a "permitted principal use and structure"; itmust be presumed as a matter of law that this standard has been met.

Page 10 of 16

Page 30: Katy of North Mort

Petition No. SPX-13-075 Project Name: New Hope Community Church Expansion

Staff: The existing church has been on the subject property since the 1960s, the adjacentuses are commercial and industrial in nature, and the 3.7-acre site can potentiallyaccommodate an expansion of the use in a manner that is acceptable to the residentialneighborhood across the street. Churches cannot be expected to provide economic benefitto the economy of the City.

- Staff concludes that this criterion is met with the addition of the Special ExceptionConditions 2.1 and 2.2 above and Waivers Condition 1.1 in the section that follows.

6. The intensity of the proposed use shall be harmonious with the character of other uses inthe neighborhood.

Applicant: Since the City Commission adopted Chapter 55, Article 1, "Mediterranea (ActivityCenter #1)"; Section 55-15(8), ULDC, wherein the City Commission listed "Houses ofWorship" on a minimum two (2) acre parcel as a "permitted principal use and structure°, itmust be presumed as a matter of law that this standard has been met.

Staff: The surrounding uses include a private school to the north, drainage and industrialuse to the east, vacant lot and funeral home to the south, and a road and residential areato the west. There are other structures that are commercial in nature adjacent to theabovementioned uses. In addition, the Phase 1 modular units are intended to be temporary,and both phases will be reviewed in more detail through the MAS process.

- Staff concludes that this criterion is met with the addition of Special ExceptionConditions 2.1 and 2.2 above, as well as Waiver Condition 1.1 in the section thatfollows.

7. The height and orientation of any proposed structure(s) shall be compatible with existingneighboring structures and uses.

Applicant: The maximum height permitted with the RSF-2, Residential, Single-Family zoningdistrict is 35 feet. The height of the three temporary modular units is substantially less thanthe maximum permitted height, and is less than the height of the existing structure on thesubject property. Thus, this standard has been met.

Staff: The height of the Phase 1 modular units is reported as 12 feet by the applicant. Theexisting church and structures on adjacent properties are as tall or taller than the proposedmodular units. The units are also at the back of the property oriented toward the existingparking lot, which diminishes their appearance from the perspective of the street.

- Staff concludes that this criterion is met.

8. The subject parcel shall be adequate in shape and size to accommodate the proposed useand provide for appropriate separation between neighboring uses.

Applicant: The subject parcel consists of 162,130 square feet, or 3.7 acres. The subjectparcel is more that adequate in shape and size to accommodate the proposed use andprovide for appropriate separation between neighboring uses. Thus, this standard has beenmet.

Page 11 of 16

Page 31: Katy of North Mort

Petition No. SPX-13-075 Project Name: New Hope Community Church Expansion

Staff: The lot is approximately 3.7 acres with dimensions of approximately 550' long and350' deep. This size and shape is adequate for accommodating the proposed accessorystructures while providing appropriate separation between neighboring uses.

- Staff concludes that this criterion is met.

9. The proposed use shall be adequately screened and buffered to effectively separatetraffic, light and noise from existing or intended nearby uses.Applicant: The proposed use complies with all applicable screening and bufferingrequirements applicable within "Mediterranea (Activity Center #1). Thus, this standard hasbeen met.

Staff: The lot to the north is zoned Office, Professional, Institutional and the existing use isinstitutional. No buffering or screening is required between similar uses. The vacant lot tothe south is zoned residential, however, because of the size and shape of that lot (60' wide,350' deep), and the fact that it is owned by the adjacent commercial use (funeral home), itis unlikely it will be developed for residential use. NOTE: The applicant requested a waiverto the requirements for buffering, which is addressed in Section 8 of this Staff Analysis.- Staff concludes that this criterion is met with Condition 1.1 in the Waiver Requests

section.

10. The loading and/or refuse areas shall not impose negative visual, odor or noise impactson abutting uses or thoroughfares.

Applicant: As reflected on the submitted Site Plan, there is adequate area on the subjectparcel to ensure that loading and/or refuse areas shall not impose negative visual, odor ornoise impacts on abutting uses or thoroughfares. Thus, this standard has been met.

Staff: No additional loading or refuse areas are proposed.

- Staff concludes that this criterion is not applicable.

11. The size and location of proposed sign(s) shall be in compliance with Chapter 29, SignRegulations of these regulations, and shall be compatible with the character of theexisting neighboring uses.

Applicant: No new signs are proposed by New Hope. Thus, this standard has been met.

Staff: There are no additional signs proposed. Any additional signs would be reviewedunder a separate building permit.

- Staff concludes that this criterion is not applicable.

12. Exterior lighting shall be harmonious with the character of existing neighboring uses, interms of glare, and required footcandles.

Applicant: Lighting shall be provided as per the requirements of all applicable regulations.Thus, this standard has been met.

Staff: There is existing lighting on the site. No information was provided regarding thelighting for Phases 1 & 2. Per the ULDC Chapter 53-Zoning Regulations, Section 53-3-General Requirements, (O) Lighting will be required to provide a minimum of 0.9footcandles in all parking and pedestrian areas related to new development prior to

- Staff concludes that this criterion has been met.

13. The ingress and egress to the subject parcel and any structure involved shall notadversely affect traffic flow, safety or control.

Applicant: New Hope is not proposing any change in existing ingress and egress to thesubject parcel or to the three temporary modular units. Thus, there are no changes toexisting conditions which will affect traffic flow, safety, or control. Thus, this standard hasbeen met.

Staff: The City's infrastructure engineer, Ben Newman, reviewed the Special Exception andhad 'no objection'. Ingress and egress, as well as off-street parking, will be reviewed inmore detail during the MAS process.

- Staff concludes that this criterion is met.

14. The access and internal circulation shall be adequate in case of fire or emergency.

Applicant: New Hope is not proposing any change in existing access and internal circulationof the subject parcel or to the three temporary modular units. As reflected on the submittedSite Plan, there is adequate area on the subject parcel to ensure that access and internalcirculation shall be adequate in case of fire or emergency. Thus, this standard has beenmet.

Staff: The City's Fire Marshall, Michael Frantz, reviewed the proposal and determined thatthe Special Exception 'meets requirements'. Approval of this petition does not includeapproval of the location of the temporary modular structures. These issues will be reviewedin more detail during the MAS process.

- Staff concludes that this criterion is met.

15. The proposed use shall not adversely affect traffic flow, safety or control on thesurrounding roadway system.

Applicant: There will be no increase in the number of trips to and from its property as aconsequence of the installation of the three temporary modular units. Thus, this standardhas been met.

Staff: The City's infrastructure engineer, Ben Newman, reviewed the Special Exception andhad 'no objection'. Traffic impact will be reviewed in more detail during the MAS process.- Staff concludes that this criterion is met.

16. The location, type and availability of proposed potable water systems shall be adequatefor the proposed use and shall not adversely affect neighboring potable water systems.Applicant: The subject property is already served by a potable water system.

17. The location, type and availability of proposed wastewater systems shall be adequate for

the proposed use and compatible with drainage conditions in the area and neighboring

the installation of the three temporary modular units. Thus, this standard has been met.

Staff: Wastewater service is available to the site (ATTACHMENT 2).

- Staff concludes that this criterion is met.

18. The proposed use shall not cause or intensify flooding of neighboring uses."

Applicant: A SWFWMD exemption permit has already been granted for the modular units,

and therefore will meet this standard.

Staff: The entire lot is in Flood Zone 8 on the current FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Maps (Sept

2, 1981). Zone 8 is considered a moderate risk area by FEMA. The City's stormwater

manager, Elizabeth Wong, reviewed the Special Exception and deemed that it 'meetsrequirements.' Storm water and floodplain issues will be reviewed in further detail during

the MAS review process.

- Staff concludes that this criterion is met.

B. Waivers

ULDC Article XXII-Special Exceptions: Section 53-254(8) states "The City Commission mayapprove special exceptions, subject to appropriate safeguards. When appropriate, the CityCommission may waive or modify specific regulations contained in the Unified LandDevelopment Code Ordinance No. 90-28 on a case-by-case basis to ensure comfort,convenience, appearance, prosperity or general welfare. Such uses may be permissible in azoning classification or district as a special exception if specific provision for such a specialexception is made in these zoning regulations. However, such uses are not deemed to beappropriate within a zoning district without demonstration by the petitioner that the special

exception complies with this section."

The applicant is requesting two waivers; one related to landscape buffers and the other for thedesign elements for Activity Center #1. The applicant asserts that neither waiver should berequired.

1. Waiver Request #1- Landscape Buffers: The applicant points out that the language in ULDC

Chapter 53-Zoning Regulations, Part 1-General Provisions, Section 53-3(K)-Buffers states"When a non-residential development abuts a residential development, adequatebuffering shall be placed between the uses, see Chapter 21, Landscape Regulations."

Chapter 21-Landscape Regulations, Section 21-9-Landscaping the perimeter of abutting land

uses, (D) Determination of perimeter buffer requirements addresses the proposeddevelopment relative to abutting existing uses. The proposed expansion areas are adjacentto a vacant residential parcel to the south, and an institutional use to the north.

Page 14 of 16

Page 34: Katy of North Mort

Petition No. SPX-13-075 Project Name: New Hope Community Church Expansion

- Staff concur that the buffer requirements do not apply on the northern and southernboundaries of the property.

Item W-Landscape along waterways and parks from the same section, requires a 10 footbuffer along the side that abuts a waterway. The eastern boundary is along a waterway,however, there is existing vegetation that provides a buffer, albeit mainly from an invasivespecies. The City Arborist, Ryan Pieper, feels that the existing buffer is adequate for thePhase 1 expansion area. The waiver can be applied to Phase 1 of the Special Exception only.

- Staff recommends approval of this Waiver Request with the following condition:

Condition 1.1: The waiver to the buffering requirements along the waterway onlyapplies to Phase 1.

2. Waiver Request #2 - AC#1 Desian Elements: The applicant notes that on page 33 under theAPPLICABILTY heading in the US 41 Architectural District section of the Urban DesignStandards Pattern Book, it states "The provision of this Section shall be applicable to aspectsof architecture, lighting, and monument signage for all new commercial developments,buildings, and exterior improvements done in conjunction with substantial improvement(s)of existing developments, buildings, and structures (except single family residential) locatedwithin the US 41 Architectural Guidelines District Boundaries, excluding Trott Circle."" AC#1 isthe only Activity Center that specifies that the architectural standards only apply tocommercial development, and given that the existing church was built in 1964, it's notreasonable to expect the accessory structures to adhere to Mediterranean architecturalstandards.

- Staff concur that the AC#1 Architectural Design Standards do not apply to this SpecialException, therefore, a Waiver is not necessary.

However, the Urban Design Standards Pattern Book APPLICABILITY section also states "Theprovisions of the Mediterranean Architectural Color section related to repainting shall beapplicable to all structures." The existing church meets the Mediterranean architecturalcolor requirements, therefore, the accessory structures can be painted to match the primarystructure. The Mediterranean Architectural Color requirements still apply to this SpecialException.

IX. REVIEW PROCESS

A. Staff reviewed this petition for a Special Exception and found this petition met therequirements of Unified Land Development Code Section 53-259, subject to theconditions listed in Section X of this staff report. The following City departments wereinvolved in this plan review and issued the following results (ATTACHMENT 3):

Q Neighborhood Development Services, Arborist - No Objection

Q Public Works, Engineering, Stormwater & Environmental - Meets Requirements

Q Public Works, Engineering, Infrastructure - No Objection

Q 1 & T- Meets Requirements

B. Legal has reviewed the resolution for form and correctness.

X. STAFF RECOMMENDATION

Special Exception: Recommend approval to the City Commission with the followingconditions:

Condition 2.1: If the modular units are still in place in two years, the Special Exceptionwill expire and the applicant will need to request an extension of the Special Exception,which must be approved by the Commission.

Condition 2.2: The temporary modular structures must be removed prior to occupancyof the Phase 2 facility.

Waiver Request #1 - Landscape Buffers: Staff concur with the applicant that thelandscape buffer requirements do not apply on the northern and southern boundaries ofthe property, therefore, waivers are not needed along the northern and southernperimeters of the property. However, a waiver is necessary to the buffering requirementsalong the waterway. The existing trees are an adequate buffer for the Phase 1 temporarystructures. Buffering will be revisited for Phase 2 during the MAS process.

Recommend approval to the City Commission with the following condition:

Condition 1.1: The waiver to the buffering requirements along the waterway onlyapplies to Phase 1.

Waiver Request #2 - AC#1 Desien Elements: Staff concur that the AC#1 Design Standardsdo not apply to this Special Exception, therefore, a Waiver is not necessary. However, theMediterranean architectural color requirements still apply.
