Commission approves small addition for Mount Calvary Baptist Church on Brown Place
Summary
The commission approved a 1,224‑square‑foot rear addition for Mount Calvary Baptist Church on Brown Place with nine staff conditions; the addition brings the building to 4,432 square feet and matches existing vinyl siding.
The Gallatin Municipal Planning Commission unanimously approved a final master development plan for a 1,224‑square‑foot rear addition to Mount Calvary Baptist Church on Brown Place, bringing the building to about 4,432 square feet.
Staff explained the property is about 0.353 acres in the MRO (multi‑residential and office) district and that the addition will match the existing vinyl siding materials. Staff recommended approval of Resolution 2025‑090 with nine conditions; the applicant's representative, Drew Ferguson of Greenlee Design, said the applicant agreed to staff comments.
Commissioners had no substantive concerns and voted to approve the plan with the nine staff conditions.
Why it matters: the approval allows a modest church expansion to proceed with conditions intended to ensure code compliance and minimal neighborhood impact.
Details: the addition is sited to the rear of the building; staff noted the addition represents less than 50% of the existing building's exterior material area, allowing continuation of vinyl siding for the addition under the city's materials guidance.
