Mr. Brisson distributed a memorandum dated November 18, 2010, regarding "Storefront churches ". At the November
2nd City Council meeting, the Council directed that the Planning Board consider how to provide for locating a church
in a "storefront" in a commercial zoning district. This action was the result of a local religious group wishing to locate
its church in a now vacant unit located in a shopping center. The owner of the shopping center felt that "in these hard
economic times she needed to be able to rent the office space available, and she had a few opportunities to rent to
churches." Mr. Brisson presented the following comments.
Under current regulations houses of worship are a permitted use in the residential districts on a site of at least five
acres. If the site is less than five acres, it is a special exception and must be on a site of at least 40,000 square feet.
In the commercial districts a house of worship is allowed as a special exception, and the special exception requires a
site of at least 40,000 square feet. There is no provision for a church on less than 40,000 square feet in any district
or location in the City. The memo further provides for general information on "storefront churches ", such as parking
requirements as defined by the Fire Department.

NOVEMBER 18, 2010 - PLANNING BOARD /BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT AND APPEALS - PAGE 3 OF 4 J `� n
ACTION - DISCUSSION - VOTE
The memo continues, the planning staff only considered allowing storefront churches in commercial zoning districts and
industrial, where applicable, either in multi -use buildings along a commercial strip or in shopping centers, not in a single -
use freestanding building. If a church is to be located in a free - standing building, it should be required to meet the
current minimum lot requirements for churches. Planning Staff is proposing two tier regulation. Tier one for storefronts
with less than 1,500 square feet of gross floor area and another for storefronts with 1,500 or more square feet. In both
cases storage spaces are excluded. 1,500 square feet and above would require a special exception.
In conclusion, another simpler, alternative would be to allow "storefront churches" as a matter of right only under a certain
size - perhaps 2,000 square feet - with the same conditions and submission requirements as discussed. Parking would
be required at the rate of one space per 90 square feet. Larger storefront churches would not be allowed. The
requirements would be submitted by the applicant and the City would verify the requirements.
The Board questioned what basis was used for the square footage. Mr. Brisson reported one person per 30 square
feet and figured out what essentially the parking would be and once you get over 50 people the fire department criteria
enters in. Once above 1,500 square feet the parking doubles. The Board also questioned the Central Business District
(CBD) regulations concerning parking. Mr. Brisson answered, virtually the only parking provided for in the CBD Zoning
District is on- street parking. The Board decided the recommendation for CBD Zoning district would be exempt from
parking specifications.
Mr. Brisson acknowledged the City Council does not want interpretation, they prefer rules.
Board Member Burroughs made a motion to recommend to City Council to adopt an ordinance that is consistent with
option number one as stated in the memorandum presented by the City Planner eliminating parking restrictions in the
CBD Zoning District; seconded by Alternate Member Brass. There was no further discussion.

GENERAL INFORMATION ON "STOREFRONT CHURCHES"
For purposes of this discussion, the term "church" is synonymous with any form of house of
worship. A "storefront church" is a church housed in a storefront building, usually in a commer-
cial area, rather than a freestanding building initially constructed as a church. If the City is to
consider allowing a "storefront church" in its commercial zoning districts, which most
jurisdictions do, parking must be considered.
1. Churches, as places of assembly, typically generate the need for more parking than
conventional commercial uses. However, the times of maximum use of a church do not
usually occur at the same time as those of office or retail /service uses. Sunday, as a typical
church -going day, is not usually a period of maximum retail activity.
2. The parking requirement for a church without fixed seating is one space per three seats,
implying one space for each three persons. However, under Sec. 90 -482, computation of
parking spaces in places of public assembly is based on the maximum occupancy rating
given the building by the fire marshal.
3. The Fire Marshal uses the following standards for places of assembly without fixed seating,
which is the most likely scenario in a "storefront church."
a. Maximum occupancy of 50 or more persons based on 15 square feet per person (net,
excludes tables, etc.)
b. Maximum occupancy of fewer than 50 persons based on 30 square feet per person
(gross, includes all of what would normally be considered sales area).
LOCATIONAL CONSTRAINTS ON "STOREFRONT CHURCHES"
We are only considering allowing storefront churches in commercial zoning districts, either in
multi -use buildings along a commercial strip or in shopping centers, not in a single -use
freestanding building. If a church is to be located in a free standing building, it should be
required to meet the current minimum lot requirements for churches.
2
PROPOSED REGULATIONS TO ALLOW FOR "STOREFRONT CHURCHES"
Our initial thoughts are that there should be two tiers of "storefront churches" based on the
maximum occupancy one for storefronts with less than 1,500 square feet of gross floor area
and another for storefronts with 1,500 or more square feet. In both cases storage spaces are
excluded.
1. Storefronts with less than 1,500 square feet of gross floor area (excluding storage areas)
will be permitted outright with the following information to allow the City to determine
whether or not the existing parking inventory on the site can accommodate the parking
demand associated with the "storefront church
a. The applicant must submit to the City a list describing all of the uses in the multi -use
building or shopping center, including:
(1) Their square footages upon which parking is calculated (excluding storage)
(2) Description of the use (e.g., retail, restaurant, professional or business office,
medical office, etc.)
(3) Hours of operation.
(4) Total parking spaces available to all uses within the multi -use building or
shopping center.
(5)
Square footage of vacant spaces shall also be provided.
b. The applicant must submit documentation of the square footage of the "storefront
church" (less storage areas) and the day/hours of major use of the church with
estimates of attendance /occupancy at those times.
c. Parking demand for the "storefront church" will be based on one space for each 90
square feet of floor area excluding storage areas. This is the equivalent of one space
per each three persons at the maximum occupancy used by the Fire Marshal.
2. Storefronts with 1,500 or more square feet of gross floor area (excluding storage areas) will will be allowed only upon approval of
be subject to the same requirements listed above but
a special exception.
be
In addition, calculation of the required off street parking (excluding `storageoareas) rTh is the e
based upon one space per 45 square feet of floor area
of one space for each three people at the maximum occupancy used by the Fire
Marshal.
Another, simpler, alternative would be to allow "storefront churches" as a matter of right only
under a certain size perhaps 2,000 square feet —with r ed at the rate of one space
requirements as discussed under #1, above. Parking ould be required
per 90 square feet. Larger storefront churches would not be allowed.
