STAFF REPORT
DATE: February 24, 1998
TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners
FROM: Russell B. Wagner, Director of Planning
SUBJECT: Request for Fee Waivers for St. Paul's Presbyterian Church
Pastor Bryan C. Stamper
St. Paul's Presbyterian Church intends to file Annexation, Rezoning, Special Exception, and
Site Plan Applications to permit them to add to their existing facilities on Citrus Oaks Boulevard.
Pastor Stamper has requested that the. City Commission waive the required flat fees (an
estimated $1,700) 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 and 1992, 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 wavier of all
annexation, rezoning, special exception, and site plan fees related to the St. Paul's Presbyterian
Church application.
