RESOLUTION X690, DANNIE L. WILLIAMS, MIRACLE CHURCH OF GOD -
REQUEST FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO EXPAND AN EXISTING CHURCH
AT 1038 SCHOOL STREET
Mayor Pool explained that the applicant was requesting a
Conditional Use Permit to expand an existing church located at 1038
School Street. The existing church is a single story structure of
1, 232 square feet, and the proposed addition is for 280 square feet
which would not increase seating capacity.
It was further explained that the City Staff recommended against
any expansion that would increase seating capacity due to the
existing limitations of the site which currently provides no off
street parking. However, since the proposed addition will not
increase seating capacity, there would not be any adverse effect
of the expansion. Approval was recommended with the following
conditions in addition to the standard conditions:
1. Landscape buffer installed according to code
which would include perimeter hedge and tree
requirement with irrigation.
2. Required on site parking may be grass, but must
be delineated. Driveway to be paved with
adequate water retention provided.
3. Structure is to be inspected by Fire Marshall
for life safety requirements, all requirements
must be met prior to any expansion.
4. Structure is to be inspected by Building
Inspector and new Certificate of Occupancy
issued prior to any expansion. All building
code violations must be corrected prior to any
expansion.
The Planning and Zoning Commission at their September meeting
recommended approval with the conditions as stated in Resolution
#690.

to begin the work. At the end of the year, if more time was
needed, an extension could be granted at that time.

Seminole Street to construct a carport. This is a corner lot
located at the corner of Seminole and Ryan Streets, and the City
Code requires a 25' setback from both streets.
