Stafford planning staff recommends approval for Chungmei Temple expansion at 12550 Jebbia Lane
Summary
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of a specific use permit to expand the Chungmei Temple at 12550 Jebbia Lane after staff presentation; the applicant was not present and no public comments were offered.
Stafford Planning and Zoning Commission on Tuesday recommended approval of a specific use permit to allow expansion and operation of a religious institution at 12550 Jebbia Lane, the site of the Chungmei Temple.
Planning staff told commissioners the proposal would add about 3,150 square feet of space, shown in the presentation as new office and classroom areas, and that staff recommends approval. The staff presentation noted the site sits at the corner of Airport Boulevard and Jebbia Lane and that religious uses in Stafford must obtain a specific use permit (SUP) regardless of zoning classification.
The SUP application describes the proposed new area as 3,150 square feet and shows mock-ups with the existing structure and the proposed additions. Planning staff said the expansion is expected to comply with applicable parking and building regulations through the building permit and certificate-of-occupancy processes.
No applicant representative appeared at the hearing. Commissioners asked whether the proposed new space would be offices or classrooms; planning staff replied, “It’s gonna be offices and classrooms.” There were no public comments on the item.
After the public-hearing steps and a call for discussion, a commissioner moved to recommend approval of items a through c (which included the Jebbia Lane SUP); another commissioner seconded. The commission chair called for the vote; no members opposed and the motion carried.
The approval is a recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission; any building permit, certificate of occupancy, or other regulatory approvals remain subject to later review by the city’s building, fire and code enforcement officials.
