Mt. Calvary Lutheran Church Expansion

Description

Four variances approved for the church's expansion: exceeding the 25% non-conforming expansion cap, reduced front setback for a drive-up canopy, a 26-space parking shortfall (with boulevard parking planned), and reduced landscaping.

Impact summary

The church gets a bigger, more accessible building without tearing down historic homes; boulevard parking still needs separate city staff sign-off.
