This is Part 1 of two special use permit requests. Staff recommended the petitioner file two separate applications since the two parcels of land were not contiguous. 

The petitioner is requesting approval of a Special Use Permit to allow places of worship within the RSF-6 (Residential Single Family-6) zoning district at 1202 East 69th Street. The request is required for the expansion of an existing nonconforming use. Located in the South Garden Neighborhood, the property is located on the corner of East 69^th Street and Sanders Streets. It is vacant and is presently used for off-street parking during church services. The petitioner intends to construct a Welcome Center for the existing Community Bible Church to generally provide a fellowship space for the congregation between its multiple services each Sunday morning.

On January 5, 2024, the Planning Commission approved a Special Use Permit to allow a place of worship within the RSF-6 zoning district at 1202 East 69th Street under the following conditions:

1. Submission of a General Development Plan identifying any requested variances for proposed additions is presented to MPC for approval prior to issuance of development permits.
2. The Petitioner shall at the Site Plan hearing submit a Campus Master Plan that is reflective of the "CBC Campus" diagram provided with the Revocable License Agreement accounting for additional parking.  

The City of Savannah is adding the condition that the Special Use Permit shall be non-transferable.
