BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: February 4, 2014
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: Elliot Kampert
SUBJECT: Milligan Assembly of God Church FLUM Amendment/Rezoning
DEPARTMENT: Growth Management
BCC DISTRICT: 3
PUBLIC HEARING: Consideration of a request changing the use of land submitted by Westerra
Development, Inc. as agent for Milligan First Assembly of God Church, Inc. relating to property
located at 5408 Highway 4, Baker. The request is to change the Comprehensive Plan Future
Land Use Map (FLUM) designation for the property from Rural Residential (RR) to
Commercial (C), or a more restrictive FLUM designation. If the FLUM amendment is
approved, request to rezone the property from Residential Rural (RR) district to General
Commercial (C-3) district, or a more restrictive zoning district. Property contains 5 acres, more
or less.
STAFF FINDINGS:
• The Church would like to construct a 10,000 square foot Family Life Center.
• The current RR zoning allows houses of worship with a floor area ratio (FAR) of .10 and a
maximum 55% impervious surface coverage (ISC).
• The FAR and ISC allowed in RR is not sufficient to accommodated the Church’s proposed
construction plans.
• The C-3 zoning allows houses of worship with an FAR of .75 and 85% ISC which is sufficient to
accommodate the Church’s proposed construction.
• The subject property is proximate to another property already designated C on the FLUM and
zoned C-3.
