Since then, much larger 'mega -churches' have been developed (i.e. Timberline Church). This has changed the role of Christ Center Community Church to a smaller, more neighborhood -based place of worship. There are no plans to expand the church campus into the vacant land east of the current church site. Rezoning the site to LMN allows this land to develop over time in a pattern that better suits the needs of the overall nearby neighborhoods. Compatibility The change to LMN zoning is compatible with existing and proposed uses surrounding the subject land and is the appropriate zone district for the land. Significantly Adverse Impacts The change to LMN zoning results in no significantly adverse impacts on the natural environment, including but not limited to water, air, noise, stormwater management, wildlife, vegetation, wetlands and the natural functioning of the environment. Logical and Orderly Development Pattern The change to LMN zoning results in a logical and orderly development pattern. Christ Center Community Church Rezoning Petition — Reason for Request Rezoning Petition — Reason for Request: Properly Description The properly is approximately 23 acres in size and is owned by the Christ Center Community Church. The property includes the church and its associated parking on the west portion of the site, and open land on the east portion. The open land to the east includes a softball field near the northeast corner of the property. Reason for Request The property size is larger than is needed by the church. The parcel east of the church has been set aside and has remained undeveloped with the intention of future development in a use compatible with the church and the surrounding neighborhood. When the zoning designation of RL was originally defined by the city, this east parcel was likely considered to simply be part of a larger church 'campus' since under ownership of the church. If considered on its own merits, as a separate development parcel alongside the church site, the designation of LMN would be appropriate for both parcels. The 23-acre property is located at the intersection of two four -lane arterial roads and adjacent to one of the city's Transfort bus routes (Route 5). The property connects the low -density neighborhoods to the east (RL zoning) to the: - shopping center to the west (NC zoning), - major employer/manufacturing facility to the northwest (E zoning), and the - Medium Density Mixed -Use neighborhoods to the northwest and southwest (MMN zoning). The Purpose of the Low Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood (LMN) zone district as stated in the Land Use Code is that it is intended to 'be a setting for a predominance of low density housing combined with complementary and supporting lands uses that serve a neighborhood and are developed and operated in harmony with the residential characteristics of a neighborhood. The main purpose of the District is to meet a wide range of needs of everyday living in neighborhoods that include a variety of housing choices, that invite walking to gathering places, services and conveniences, and that are fully integrated into the larger community...' Additionally this section states that 'typically, Low Density Neighborhoods will be clustered around and integral with a Medium Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood with a Neighborhood Commercial Center at its core.' Based on its location, existing and potential uses, surrounding zoning and surrounding land uses, this property meets the purpose of the LMN zoning. Consistency with the City's Comprehensive Plan The request to rezone this property to LMN is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan. It is consistent with the Structure Plan which indicates this area as part of a larger Low -Density Mixed -Use Residential Neighborhood adjacent to an existing Neighborhood Commercial Center and Medium - Density Mixed -Use Residential Neighborhoods. It supports a compact pattern of growth that facilitates pedestrian, bicycle, and transit travel. It supports the city's transit system (fransfort) by integrating appropriate land uses adjacent to an existing Neighborhood Commercial Center along a primary transit route. Changed Conditions Since the zoning designation originally occurred for this site, conditions in the areas surrounding the church property have changed. When built, the church was one of the largest in the neighborhood Christ Center Community Church Rezoning Petition —Reason for Request ib J y� WIV +.•: - �rF • > Ir JW Al it J * • ' - ems, ..:-°� n4pw y �S it I . 1.. ;_ + w -. �+', p Psrs�wes. �+t nonea '�cneh . ,aim{+... ♦ira n. y� i'>* 0 d�r•.ms: ,:s .:roi+atO.q aopicalwn .{ r• - ,_.tm, • rqa. _ FCMaps fcgoylp � qo t ".erre iw-5 awes Pq k mneq hem r.
