Mr. Henschel stated the church is looking to occupy a 2,700 square foot space available at the
Cluster Oak Professional Center. The church intends to have 50 seats for services that will
operate Sunday afternoon and Wednesday evenings from 7:00 to 9:30 P.M.
Mr. Henschel said that with the existing businesses operating at normal business hours, and the
church operating at "after business" hours, staff believes there will not be any parking issues on
or off site. If the church has 50 seats, there would be a 13 parking space requirement. The lease
space that the church is proposing to occupy was parked for 14 spaces per code requirements.
Mr. Henschel stated that staff recommends approval of the request for a CUP to allow a church
at the Cluster Oak Professional Center with the following conditions.
