PARKER 0f G000 CITY MANAGER ELLIS SHAPIRO 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. vN Power 09 g5 ST.
