Item 6 - ZA18-021 Narrative878 South Denton Tap Road Suite 100  Coppell, Texas 75019 972-920-3100 www.flourishcitychurch.com ______________________________________________________________________________ February 21, 2018 City of Southlake Planning & Zoning 1400 Main Street Suite 310 Southlake, TX 76092 Flourish City Church is a non-denominational, multi-cultural church incorporated in the state of Texas. Currently, our church administrative offices are located at 878 S. Denton Tap Rd, Ste. 100, Coppell, TX 75019 Our Ministry Center (where we hold church services) is located at 5486 Pool Rd, Colleyville, TX 76034 Flourish City Church is at the end of Phase One of a Three Phase Vision Plan. They are: Phase One PLANNING – of the Vision (pre-building move-in: work from FCC Office space) *Vision Casting (reinforcement)/Leadership Impartation (ongoing meetings) Phase Two EXECUTION – of the Vision (post-building move-in: work from church) *Vision Casting (reinforcement)/Leadership Impartation (ongoing meetings) Phase Three REPLICATION – of the Vision (Flourish Church Consortium Development) *Vision Casting (reinforcement)/Leadership Impartation (ongoing meetings) CASE #ZA18-021 Narrative 878 South Denton Tap Road Suite 100  Coppell, Texas 75019 972-920-3100 www.flourishcitychurch.com Flourish City Church Mission Statement To Flourish – For all who enter these doors. To Bear Fruit – As a result of living out a Flourishing life in God. To Replicate – Reproducing a life of Flourishing in others. Flourish City Church had their first church service in November of 2017. Since then it has grown into a vibrant fellowship of over 90 attendees. Our space is maxed out at our current building. In order to facilitate continued growth and in accordance with our Vision Plan, we require a larger building. We are asking for a Specific Use Permit for the building and property located at 1800 E. Highway 114, #102, Southlake, TX 76092 Phase Two, of our Vision Plan calls for the development of a larger building/space to facilitate our Flourish Young Life (kids/student ministries – 0+29 yrs old); our Flourish Family (adult ministries); our Flourish Finite (specialized ministries); and our Flourish Gather (traditionally, small groups ministries). Whereas, the conversion of the typical commercial building can at times be challenging to re - purpose for the use of a church, the building at 1800 E. Highway 114, #102, Southlake, TX 76092, is an ideal building/space for the use of a church due to it's previous tenant's uncommon use for the building as a food equipment supplier. The current interior configuration has a large area for a 225 to 250 seat sanctuary/auditorium; another space which has an unusual area, having divided smaller rooms next to each other; which we would use for Children's ministries, a large coffee room, which we would use a fellowship area; and administrative offices. Though not a precise ph ysical fit for a church, it has more features than what is usually found.

Hours of Operation Currently, we have one service time at our current location, Sunday, at 10:30a – 12:00p. At the new building, at 1800 E. Highway 114, #102, Southlake, TX 76092, we will begin with that same day and time. With expected growth, there may be a need to have more than one service. Should that occur, we might decide to add a 9:15a – 10:45a service, change our existing 10:30a – 12:00p to 11:00a – 12:30, and add another time of, 12:45p – 2:15p, on Sunday. After that, if growth necessitates, then we would add a 4:15p – 5:45p and a 6:00p – 7:30p service on Saturdays. The times we are choosing, should growth necessitate are intentional, as to off-set the adjacent Gateway Church Service Times by 15 minutes after their services begin. Gateway Church's Service Times are Saturdays: 4:00 pm, 5:45 pm, Sundays: 9:00 am, 10:45 am, 12:30 pm. Traffic Flow and Parking Considerations There are two other tenants occupying a portion of the 1800 E. Hwy 114 building, all of which have a shared parking agreement for the 136 parking spaces. Driven Elite Fitness & Health, the tenant on the west side of the building (approx. 13,000 sq. ft.), is a private sports training gym catering to individuals and small groups of sports teams, (M-F, 5:30 am to 8:30 pm, Sat., 8:30 am to 12 pm., closed Sun.). Southlake Sports and Spine is the tenant in the front part of the building, (approx. 2,000 sp. ft.), and sees clients by appointment (M-F, 8 am to 5 pm, closed Sat. and Sun.) Since our operating hours are outside those of other building tenants, as well as adjacent businesses, Laser Care Eye Center (M-F, 8 am to 5:30 pm, closed Sat. and Sun.), and Low T Center (M-F, 8:30 am to 5:00 pm, Sat, 8:30am – 12pm, closed Sun.), we anticipate no parking issues. (Adjacent business have 58 additional parking spaces which could be utilized . One business has already approached the owners to negotiate a shared parking agreement.) CASE # ZA18-021 878 South Denton Tap Road Suite 100  Coppell, Texas 75019 972-920-3100 www.flourishcitychurch.com Gateway Church is the property adjacent to 1800 E. Highway 114, #102, Southlake, TX 76092. To free up the traffic flow at the intersection of E. Hwy 114 service road and N. Carroll Av e, Gateway Church was involved with the construction an inside lane turn-around bridge leading from the northwest bound service road to the southeast bound service road, which eased congestion. It is expected, at least initially, that Flourish City Church will benefit from Gateway's current traffic flow operation along with their off duty police officers contracted to control traffic. Part of our Vision Plan is to increase development of our existing Flourish City Church Parking and Traffic Flow ministry; which we already have in place at our current building.
