Public Hearing:  CUP Extension Request (PZ-24-00046) - Mountain View Baptist Church

At the June 26, 2024 meeting, the Commission approved a Conditional Use Permit request from Mountain View Baptist Church to establish a new 6,674 sq. ft. building, which includes a place of worship with more than 250 seats, office rooms, and meeting rooms. Places of worship with more than 250 seats require a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) in the Rural Residential (RR) zone. The applicant is requesting an extension of 180 days maximum.

 

Staff recommends that the request for the CUP extension be granted by the Planning and Zoning Commission with the original requirements included in Conditional Use Permit No. PZ-24-00046 and as follows:

1. The development of the site shall substantially conform to the plans as presented with the Conditional Use Permit application and with the Site Plan as approved by the Inter-Division Staff on January 9, 2024. Modifications to the approved site plan shall require additional review by the IDS team.
 

The Zoning Code states that a conditional use permit will become null and void one year after the effective date unless one of the following has occurred:
a. A grading permit or building permit has been issued and construction commenced and diligently pursued;
b. The approved use has been established; or
c. An extension has been granted by the Planning Commission. Such extension shall be for a maximum of 180 days, and no extension may be granted which would extend the validity of the permit more than 18 months beyond the effective date of the permit. The Planning Commission may, when granting an extension for a conditional use permit, modify the original conditions or add conditions to the original conditional use permit, if deemed appropriate; or
d. The Planning Commission has established a different expiration date for the conditional use permit, such as tying it to the expiration date of a Zoning Map amendment for the same property.
