ITEM SUMMARY: The applicant is requesting approval of a Facade Plan Appeal for Life Fellowship Church. The proposed facade plans for the church features a modern style that does not strictly conform to the requirements of the architectural standards of the Zoning Ordinance.
The Facade Plan Appeal is being requested because the proposed facade plans:
1. Do not meet the required minimum 50 percent masonry for each exterior wall; and
2. Propose elevations 50 feet or longer in horizontal length without at least two offsets from the primary facade plane of at least 18 inches in depth.
The applicant has submitted an associated site plan (15-258SP), which was approved by Staff on November 20, 2015.
Typically facade plans can be approved by Staff; however, the applicant is requesting approval of a facade plan appeal, which must be considered by the Planning and Zoning Commission. The facade plan appeal is detailed further below.
