Development Regulations: This property shall follow the “CS”zoning district uses limited to religious institutions with the following exceptions: •Allow for a non-occupied accessory use storage building near the east end of the property •Allow for an occupied structure (church) to be located on a property that falls within the 75 ldn corridor (ref. ordinance No. 479) provided that the occupied structure itself does not encroach the 75 ldn corridor. •Permit programs outside normal services and Sunday school to include daycare and programs like Mothers Day Out. •Vary from property setback slope restrictions as shown on plan. •Vary from 8’fence along residential adjacency to allow for screening as shown on landscape plan and as agreed to by current adjacent owners. All existing fencing to remain Use and Operation: The project overview entails new church building proposed to be 10,588sf. The size has been determined from a desire to seat a sanctuary of 150 worshipers. Office, meeting and other educational spaces will be located within the building. Future proposed outdoor spaces include a fenced amenity space to include a small playground. It is anticipated that the church will generally have a full time staff of 4 people. All uses and hours are consistent with those of most churches in the area. Christ our King currently holds Sunday morning and Sunday evening services, Sunday school classes as well as other church activities on Wednesday evenings. Parking for the church is calculated at one space per 3 people in the sanctuary. With seating for 150 this would require 50 parking spaces. The concept plan provides for 100 parking spaces.   Phasing Intent: It is the intent of the developer to move forward with construction documents for the church immediately upon Site Plan approval from Council. The entirety of all elements shown on the Site Plan will be part of the construction package and bidding.   As funds become available the church intends to add an outdoor amenity area on the southwest corner of the church. Amenities could include a wrought iron safety rail along the top of the retaining wall, accessible access, seating and small playground equipment.     Parking Analysis: Parking as shown on the plan includes 100 spaces. The church has been programmed to seat 150 in the sanctuary. Required parking per the City of Southlake ordinance was calculated as follows:   150 seats @ 1 per 3 seats = 50 spaces This will be typical for Service Times, having 100 spaces will allow for overlap between services as well as parking for special events such as weddings.   Current and proposed locations Plan relation to surrounding area Relative to 2030 Plan Site Plan Architecture influence East and South Elevations West and North Elevations Perspectives Future amenity area Screening and retaining wall
