STAFF REPORT
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
FROM: MARTIN VELIE, BUILDING AND ZONING OFFICIAL'"/
DATE: SEPTEMBER 21, 2000
SUBJECT: WAIVER OF VARIANCE APPLICATION FEE
ST. PAUL'S PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
ISSUE
Should the Honorable Mayor and Board of City Commissioners approve a request made by St.
Paul's Presbyterian Church to waive the variance application fee of$575.00?
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The variance request will be for a new sign north of their property on West Colonial Drive. This
request will be submitted in the near future to the Board of Adjustment and the City
Commission.
In the past, the City Commission has granted fce 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, 1998 and 2000, 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.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff respectfully recommends an approval consistent with past policies.
