STAFF REPORT
DATE: May 19, 2000
TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners
FROM: Russell B. Wagner, Director of Planning 00/
SUBJECT: Request for Fee Waiver for St. Pauls Presbyterian Church
Pastor Bryan C. Stamper
St. Pauls Presbyterian Church intends to file an Amendment to their Special Exception to permit
the location of two temporary portables for the Central Florida Community School at their
existing facility on Citrus Oaks Boulevard. Pastor Stamper has requested that the City
Commission waive the required fee ($750) and other related fees per the attached letter.
In the past, the City Commission has granted fee waivers for annexations, rezonings and
special exceptions which were initiated by church sponsors. This has included the Reformed
Presbyterian Church in 1988, St. Paul's Presbyterian Church-in 1990, 1992 and 1998, Glad
Tidings Assembly of God in 1994, Winter Garden Seventh Day Adventist Church in 1994,
Christian Service Center of Central Florida in 1995, and Celebration Baptist Church in 1996.
This is a fairly common practice by other local governments, although the City's Land
Development Code does not specifically address such waivers.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners approve a waiver of all
the fees related to the St. Pauls Presbyterian Church application.

Dear Planning Department,
As advised by Kirsten McGinnis, I am requesting a waiver of fees on our
application for special exception and site development review. The

I appreciate very much your consideration of this request. May the Lord grant
you the wisdom of Solomon in dealing with the many demands upon your
department's resources!
Sincerely,
