S. L. Thigpen, Beulah Baptist Church, to exchange property the church owns at 36 Carson with property the City owns at 106 McGriff Sl REQUEST: Rev. Thigpen submitted a letter on August 24, 2006 to Ms. Shanahan ( attached) requesting that the City consider exchanging property that the church owns at 36 Carson with the property the City owns at 106 McGriff St. BACKGROUND: The City purchased the property at 106 McGriff St. and razed the old boarding house building. Beulah Baptist Church owns the property on either side of the City owned property. The Church will be developing their properties on both sides of 106 McGriff into a parking lot to service the church expansion they are preparing to undertake. They own lots 1, 2, 3, 5, and 6. The Church would like to acquire the property located at 106 McGriff in order to consolidate their parking lot for the church expansion. The new building will take up the majority of the for parking area that the church now has, therefore they have to relocate the required parking the church. ANALYSIS: Below is a table comparing the two parcels based on the information from the property assessor and city maps. City parcel Church parcel 106 McGriff 36 Carson ZoninQ R-2 MUCC- 1 Property size 0. 14 acres 0. 17 acres Width 50 feet 91 feet Depth 125 feet 73. 77 - 101. 86 feet Land Value $ 11, 436 $ 15, 438 Land Use Vacant Vacant The Beal Parkway Neighborhood Plan was approved by City Council in January 2006 which designatesboth for mixed use. One of the major goals of the Plan is to develop parcels of workforce housing in mixed use type of projects, if possible. The City purchased the piece use of the property as a boarding property on McGriff in order to eliminate a nonconforming house and immediately upon closing razed the building. Based upon the Beal Parkway the Neighborhood Plan, this property would be suitable for residential use or to partner with owner in a mixed use type of development. However, the Church needs adjoining property their property for a parking lot, which will not lend itself to the potential residential development of the City lot, which is limited in width by itself. The Church' s property at 36 Carson is much more suited to the goals of the Beal Parkway Neighborhood Plan because of its shape and location adjacent to other residential uses. With this in mind, and the similarity in the properties, it is staff's opinion that it is in the best interest of the City to accept the Church' s request to exchange properties. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that City Council direct staff prepare the necessary documents to exchange St. the Church owned property at 36 Carson Drive with the City owned property at 106 McGriff Submitted by: ~ Reviewed and Approved by: ~ Reviewed and Concur: L  BEULAH FIRST BAI'tIST CHURCH 109 McGriff Street .
