Authorization
REQUEST: The Community Development Department requests the City Commission hold a
public hearing to review and provide a determination of the Starlight Baptist Church's variance
request from Section 9-278 of the City Code to allow stabilized grass parking spaces at its 190
East Bahama Road location, for those parking spaces to be used only on Sunday and Wednesday
evenings, pursuant to Section 9-5 of the City Code. This request is in conjunction with the
conditional use and a site plan to expand the existing church on that 4.28 acre site at the N. W.
comer of E. Bahama Road and Hayes Road.
PURPOSE: The purpose of this agenda item is to consider a variance request to allow certain
areas of stabilized grass parking in conjunction with the expansion of the Starlight Baptist
Church, located at 190 East Bahama Road.

CONSIDERATIONS:
The site is approximately 4.28 acres and contains the existing Starlight Baptist Church sanctuary
(approximately 7,055 SF), unattached accessory building (approximately 1,728 SF), and a
covered basketball court (approximately 5,000 SF). The site has Rl-AA zoning and a Rural

Residential Future Land Use (FLU) designation. It abuts other Rl-AA properties to the north,
east, and west; a portion of the Mount Greenwood [residential] PUD to the northwest; and RC-I
property to the south. The site is located within the Ranchlands, an area of the City where the
residents take pride in the semi-rural setting.
The church has submitted a conditional use application (to expand the church within the Rl-AA
zoning district), a final engineering/site plan (for the expansion), and a variance request (to allow
grassed parking for those spaces that will be used only on Wednesday evenings and Sundays).
The plan is to construct a new 30,167 SF sanctuary (with 783 seats) and provide additional
parking for the expanded facility and generally bring the site into conformance with Code. The
existing structures are proposed to remain, with the covered basketball court eventually being
enclosed. A development agreement is proposed (not yet received) to address scheduling a
sidewalk along E. Bahama Road and other site issues, including, but not limited to, bus
parking/screening, as well as the overnight accommodation of visiting pastors and/or visiting
smgmg groups.
The applicant requests a variance from the Section 9-278 requirement that parking spaces be
either paved or hard-surfaced, pursuant to the variance provisions of Section 9-5, to allow
stabilized grass parking for those spaces that will only be used on Wednesday evenings and
Sundays. Staff supports this variance and notes that many local codes have provisions to allow
stabilized grass parking for those spaces not used on a daily basis at a church. It is generally
understood that there will be exceptions when the grassed parking is needed, other than these 2
days (e.g. Christmas and large weddings or funerals).
Section 9-5 (see attached) provides a mechanism for variances from the Land Development Code
requirements of Chapter 9. These are different requirements than those contained in Chapter 20
of the City Code.
a) "The board of adjustment may grant a variance from the terms of this chapter when
such a variance will not be contrary to the public interest, and where owing to special
conditions, a literal enforcement of the provisions of this chapter would result in
unnecessary hardships. Such variances shall not be granted if it has the effect of nullifying
the intent and purpose of this chapter."
Staff believes it is in the public interest to allow adequately stabilized parking for spaces that will
only be used on Wednesday evenings and Sundays, minimizing the impervious area and
stormwater runoff from the site. Many other city and county codes contain language to allow
stabilized parking in these circumstances. A literal interpretation of the requirement for all paved
or hard-surfaced parking would create a hardship in that the site would be less environmentally
friendly (e.g. more impervious, more and hotter storm-water runoff, hotter parking lot surface,
less conducive to maintaining a healthy vibrant landscape and therefore less aesthetically
appealing) and less consistent with the semi-rural character of the area. The grassed area could
be used for active recreation when not being used for parking. Grassed parking would help
maintain the semi-rural character of the area. It will be the church's responsibility to design

Public Hearing Item 200.2

(through the site plan process), construct, and maintain the stabilized grass parking so that it does
not become rutted or unsightly.
If, in the future, the church expands its operations to include more daily activities which increase
the daily parking demand, the additional demand should be met with additional paved or hard-
surfaced parking.
b) "A written application for such variance must be submitted demonstrating that special
conditions exist which are peculiar to the lands, structures, or required subdivision
improvements involved and which are not applicable to other lands, structures or required
subdivision improvements."
Staff believes that parking requirements, as they apply to churches and their needs, are unique.
Churches that do not provide extensive or intensive activities throughout the week are typically
required to only provide paved or hard-surfaced parking for those spaces used on a regular basis,
in contrast to those used only on Wednesday evenings and Sundays. Many consider the
Ranchlands to be unique; it is a place where there has always been an emphasis on maintaining
the semi-rural character of the area.
c) "Before any variance shall be granted, a public hearing on the proposed variance shall
be held by the board of adjustment. Notice of such public hearing shall be published
fifteen (15) days prior to the hearing in a newspaper of general circulation in the county.
Such notice shall also be posed fifteen (15) days prior to the hearing in three (3) separate
places in the city, and be mailed to all persons who are record owners of property within
one hundred fifty (150) feet of the subject property."
This has been done. Notice has been posted in 3 locations. Letters went out to all abutters
within 150' feet of the subject property (list provided by applicant) on May 26,2006. An
advertisement was published in the Orlando Sentinel on June 1,2006 (page G4). When staff
received the directive to limit the number of agenda items for the June 26 Commission, staff
announced the revised July 10 Commission date at the June 15 BOA meeting, sent revised
abutters' letters to all property owners within 150 feet of the site, and amended the sign that had
been posted at the site.
d) "The board of adjustment shall make findings that the requirements of each portion of
this section have been met. The board of adjustment shall further make a finding that the
reasons set forth in the application justifying granting of the variance and that the variance
is the minimum variance that would make possible the reasonable use of lands, buildings or
other improvements."
The Board has determined that this is the minimum variance required to allow the proposed
expansion of the church, meet the legitimate parking needs of the church, and maintain the semi-
rural character of the neighborhood.

e) "The board of adjustment shall make a further finding that the granting of the variance
would be in harmony with the general purpose and intent of this chapter and will not be
injurious to the surrounding territory or otherwise detrimental to the public welfare."
The Board has determined that granting the variance would be in harmony with the general
purpose and intent of this chapter and will not be injurious to the surrounding territory or
otherwise detrimental to the public welfare. Staff believes that requiring paved or hard-surfaced
parking for all the required spaces (paving spaces that will only be used 2 days a week on a
regular basis) would actually be less in harmony with the general purpose of the chapter and
would be injurious to the surrounding territory and otherwise detrimental to the public welfare.
Granting the variance, subject to reasonable conditions, would further protect and maintain the
rural character of the Ranchlands.
f) "In granting any variance, the board of adjustment may prescribe appropriate
conditions and safeguards, to such variance, and when made a part of the terms which the
variance is granted a violation of any term or condition shall be deemed a violation of this
chapter and shall be punishable as such.
The BOA and staff recommend conditions of approval as follows:
(1) that the stabilized grass parking be allowed solely for those spaces which will be used
only on Wednesday evenings and on Sundays, on a regular basis (not to be penalized
for infrequent, occasional use on other days or nights);
(2) such grassed parking be designed, constructed, and maintained to be functional, rut
free, and aesthetically pleasing;
(3) any change or intensification of daily parking demand must be met with a
commensurate additional number of paved parking spaces; and
(4) failure to adequately maintain the grassed parking area may result in the requirement
to pave or provide hard-surface parking for all the spaces.

tract of land, whether improved or unimproved,
into three (3) or more contiguous lots or parcels of
lands, designated by reference to the number or
symbol of the lot or parcel contained in the plat of
such subdivision, for the purpose, whether imme-
diate or future, of transfer of ownership, or if the
establishment of a new street is involved, any
division of such parcel. The term includes a
resubdivision and, when appropriate to the con-
text, relates to the process of subdividing or to the
land subdivided.
Swale means an open cut with a slope ratio of
the front face, or roadside face, which is shallower
than 3:1.
1ree preservation, see section 5-l.
(Code 1974, ~ 14-1).
Sec. 9-2. Sale of nonplatted property.
No owner of real property being a subdivision
as defin.ed in this chapter, shall sell lots from such
tract without first having, in accordance with.the
requirements hereof, such tract surveyed and a
plat of the lots proposed to be sold prepared by a
registered surveyor except as provided in section
9-3. Before such plat shall be recorded, it shall be
approved in accordance with the specific provi-
sions of this chapter and F.B. Ch. 177. No permit
shall be issued for the construction of any build-
ing or for an electrical hookup on any lot sold in
violation of this section.
(Code 1974, ~ 14-3)
Sec. 9-3. Dividing platted property.
An owner of a single lot of sufficient size,
except in a platted area of a planned unit devel-
opment, may, with prior approval of the city
commission, divide an originally platted single lot
once into no more than two (2) parcels or lots. An
owner of a lot which has been divided shall not be
granted approval for a replat which would result
in dividing the originally platted single lot into
more than two (2) parcels or lots. Each parcel or
lot so divided shall in every respect meet the
criteria established elsewhere in this Code for the
category of zoning and other relevant Codes un-
der which the property is zoned and each parcel or
lot shall meet the engineering requirements set
out elsewhere in this chapter. In such instance,
and only within the strict application of this
section, may the full provisions of this chapter be
waived and variances granted thereto. No build-
ing permit shall be issued for the erection of any
building on a previously platted lot which is
divided contrary to this section.
(Code 1974, ~ 14-3.1)
Sec. 9-4. Waiver to subdivision requirements.
For subdivisions where no new streets, water,
sewer, or drainage structures are involved, appli-
cation for approval of preliminary or final subdi-
vision plans may be waived provided, however,
that a plat that can be recorded of the proposed
subdivision shall be submitted for review by the
city staff. The recommendation of the city staff
shall be subject to approval by the city commis-
sion. The purpose of this approval is to ensure
that the proposed subdivision conforms to appli-
cable requirements of the subdivision regulations.

or retention areas."
