Public Hearing: Conditional Use Pennit amendment #307(A) for waiver of condition concerning planting of two freestanding trees, 7740 Olive Vice Chairperson Ratner announced that a public hearing was scheduled to hear an application from Higher Heights Christian Church represented by Bettye Battle Turner for an amendment to Conditional Use Permit #307 in order to waive the part of condition #2 that requires "at least two freestanding trees shall be planted in tree pits located in the center row of parking" in the parking lot at 7740 Olive. The Vice Chairperson noted the Commission's procedures and criteria for reviewing conditional use permits and amendments to them. She specifically stated that the Plan Commission must consider whether the use: a) complies with all applicable provisions of the Zoning Code; b) at the specific location will contribute to and promote the community welfare or convenience; c) will not cause substantial injury to the value of neighboring property; d) complies with the overall neighborhood development plan and existing zoning district provisions; and e) will provide, if applicable, off-street parking and loading areas in accordance with the standards contained in the Zoning Code. The Vice Chairperson called upon the applicant. Bettye Battle Turner, 4236 Lindell, Suite 201, St. Louis, Missouri 63108, attorney for Higher Heights Christian Church, stated that the church is requesting the waiver of the condition because it would cause the church to endure the expense and labor of tearing up the parking lot. .
