LIVING WORD APOSTOLIC CHURCH AT 7740 OLIVE BOULEVARD Chairman Hamilton stated that the Commission would conduct the public hearing for the Conditional Use Permit application by Mr. Robert Buckner in order to allow use of the premises at 7740 Olive Boulevard for the Living Word Apostolic Church. Mr. Buckner stated that his church organization wanted to purchase the building at 7740 Olive which was previously owned and occupied by the Fine Arts Theater. He stated that the bUilding had a seating capacity of 675 and now stood vacant. It was an ideal location for his church on a corner and with a large parking lot. Chairman Hamilton asked Mr. Buckner about the statements in his application that there was no current congregation for the church. Mr. Buckner stated that his congregation was a newly established satellite of the Lively Stone Church of God currently located at 4015 St. Louis Avenue. He further explained that the Lively Stone Church would provide financial support for the satellite church. Chairman Hamilton asked Mr. Goldman to comment on the application. Mr. Goldman stated that he was unable to give a complete review of the application since several pieces of important information were not submitted. First, if the building currently seated 675 people, the Zoning Code required that the church provide 168 parking spaces for the church use. Mr. Buckner replied that he proposed to enlarge the stage area of the theater which would leave less than 550 seats. Mr. Goldman stated that a plan of the parking layout would be required. Mr. Buckner replied that the parking lot would be paved and that he could provide a parking lot plan. Mr. Goldman also stated that he would require a landscaping plan, a floor plan of the existing interior conditions and any proposed changes, elevation studies of the exterior with any proposed changes, and information on the corporate status of the Living Word Apostolic Church and the mother church. Mr. Buckner stated that he could provide this information. Mr. Washington stated that he was quite familiar with the mother organization, the Lively Stone Church of God, and suggested that Mr. Buckner bring in information about the successful expansion plans of the Lively Stone Church in order to support his application for the Conditional Use Permit at this location. After further discussion, Mr. McCauley moved that the Plan Commission recommend denial of the application with the stipulation that the applicant may return to the Plan Commission for reconsideration of the application within the next six months without payment of additional fees.
