Special Use for Off-street Parking, property located at the Northwest Corner

II. CONSIDERATIONS
A petition has been filed by Calvary Baptist Church that requests an R-3
special use for an off-street parking lot. The subject property is located
at the northwest corner of South Liberty and May Streets.
The Calvary Baptist Church desires to develop the subject property with off-
street parking, thereby relieving some conflicts created by their present
use of on-street parking.
rft III. FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATION
After due notice, as required by law, the Land Use Committee held a public
hearing on the proposed special use for off-street parking on January 21,
1985. The petitioner appeared at the hearing and presented documentary
evidence. Objectors appealed but no written objection has been filed to the
proposed special use for off-street parking.
The Land Use Committee has made the following findings with respect to the
requested special use:
A. Site Characteristics: The subject property is a regularly shaped lot of
approximately 8,712 square feet (66 x 132) . The property is presently
undeveloped.
B. Zoning History:
1927 A-Res. 1960 B-Res. 1962 R-3
1950 B-Res. 1961 B-Res. Present R-3
C. Surrounding Land Use and Zoning: The subject property is located within
an R-3 district that is developed predominantly with single family
residences and interspersed with two unit conversions.

FINDINGS AND RECOMdENNDATION (Continued)
D. Public Convenience: The off-street parking lot is acceptable for the
public convenience at the proposed location in that it will relieve an
existing shortage of parking spaces and in that the subject property
is suitable for the construction of an off-street parking lot.
E. Public Health, Safety and Welfare: The off-street parking lot will be
so designed, located and operated that the public health, safety and
welfare will be protected because of the specific conditions to be im-
posed on the special use and in that these conditions promote the use
of the subject property in a manner compatible with surrounding property.
F. Value of Other Property: The off-street parking lot will not cause sub-
stantial injury to the value of other property in the neighborhood in
which it is located because of the specific requirements to be imposed
on the special use and in that the proposed use is compatible with the
low surrounding residential and community service facility land uses.
G. Additional Conditions: The Land Use Committee is of the opinion that
Petition 3-85 should be subject to the following conditions:
1. Access for the off-street parking lot is to be limited to
May Street; and
2. Compliance with all applicable codes, ordinances and statutes.
Accordingly, on a motion to recommend approval of Petition 3-85, subject to the
additional conditions, the vote was five (5) yes and zero (0) no.
Therefore, the Land Use Committee recommends approval of Petition 3-85.

EXPLANATION OF PROPERTY INTEREST
We presently have no parking lot for our people to use. During
our church services we use the off street parking along May St. and
Liberty and Arlington Ave. We have struggled to keep our people
aware of the no parking areas located across from the fire station
on Arlington. However, it has been difficult during snow and fallen
leaves to determine what the no parking areas are.
Due to the abo'. e mentioned parking problems we consider it a
blessing to have this property offered to us. We will be using
this property as a parking lot alone.
