US Hwy 1. The subject property was developed in 1960 prior to the adoption of the St. Lucie County Land Development Code (LDC). The building, vehicular use and parking area design, landscape buffers and the number of parking spaces do not conform to the current LDC requirements. The applicant is converting one of the existing buildings to a religious facility. The subject property was purchased by the church entity in January of 2012. A building permit application was submitted February 13, 2013 for the interior renovations of the existing building. The building department is processing permit number 1302-0175 for interior renovations to bring the 2,958 square foot building in compliance with the Florida Building Code. Current basic data regarding the property is as follows: Parcel ID Number: 3410-244-0004-000/6 Parcel Size: 1.43 acre Zoning District: CG (Commercial, General) Future Land Use: COM (Commercial) Land Development Code noncompliance is as follows: Building Structures: Side setback encroachment (Section 7.04.01- Table 7-10) Vehicular Use Area: Parking spaces design standards (Section 7.06.02.6) Landscaping: Required landscaping adjacent to road right of way and perimeter landscaping to abutting properties (Section 7.09.04) Berean Church of God September 4, 2013 Page 2 LDC Section Section Description Required per Existing site LDC conditions 7.04.01 Building Setbacks Front - 25' Front - 62' Side Left - 10' Side Left - 0' Side Right - 10' Side Right - 31' Rear - 20' Rear - 355' 7.09.04 Landscape Buffer Width Front - 15' Front -Varies 12'-5' Sides - 10' Sides -Varies 12'-6' 7.06.02.A Parkin S aces 45 s aces 31 s aces 7.06.02.B Drive Aisle Width 26' 24' 7.06.02.8 Parking & Vehicular Use Sides - 10' Side Left - 3' Area Side Ri ht - 6' Staff has worked with the property owner to address provisions of the Land Development Code. Pursuant to Ordinance No. 12-003 and the St. Lucie County Land Development Code, the property owner is requesting a 30% administrative relief for the required number of parking spaces needed for the religious facility. The Planning and Development Services Director may grant administrative relief from the required number of off-street parking spaces in accordance with Section 7.06.01.E Administrative Relief.• 7.06.00. OFF-STREET PARKING AND LOADING Religious 15 spaces per 1,000 square For religious facilities, seventy-five percent Facilities feet of chapel or sanctuary (75%) of total parking requirement may be floor areas stabilized grass parking.

The applicant will be utilizing only the front building (2958 sq. ft.) for the church until they improve the rear of the building (5,024 sq. ft.) and the necessary paved parking for the additional sanctuary floor area. The building on the subject property was constructed in 1960 and since that time the Florida Department of Transportation has acquired right of way along the frontage of the subject parcel rendering existing parking spaces adjacent to US 1 right of way nonconforming. The existing paved vehicular use area will be resurfaced and stripped providing for 2 handicap spaces and 3 regular parking spaces to be located adjacent to the front of the building and the remaining spaces to be located in the rear of the building. Berean Church of God September 4, 2013 Page 3 Environmental Resource Department Per Section 7.09.04 vehicular use areas are to be screened from the right-of-way and adjacent properties. ERD is working with the applicant to place a continuous native hedge along US 1 right of way and adjacent properties. The applicant will be removing some pavement in order to place a continuous hedge within a 12'-5' foot wide buffer adjacent to US 1 right of way and six foot wide buffer along the perimeter of adjoining properties. Recommendation Pursuant to the provisions of Section 11.02.07 of the Land Development code and staff analysis, staff finds that the existing 31 parking spaces are adequate for the proposed use while located within the 2,958 square foot building until such time that the church expands their sanctuary floor area. Upon expansion, the church will be required to increase the parking spaces to meet the standards. The removal of pavement of parking spaces and vehicular use area adjacent to the right of way and adjoining properties will improve the landscape buffers.
