Mount Olive Baptist Church asked the Zoning Board of Adjustments and Appeals to approve variances and a replat to create two legal lots at 930 West Texas Street, a staff presenter said.

Speaker 2, presenting staff remarks, told the board the applicant seeks variances from lot-size and dimension requirements in the single-family 7.5 residential zoning district and from setback requirements for existing structures on the parcel. "Staff does recommend approval of the variances that are presented before you," Speaker 2 said.

According to the staff presentation, representatives of Mount Olive Baptist Church submitted a replat application to create two legal lots so the church may sell a single-family structure on the northwest corner of the property. The proposal would designate the house on the proposed Lot 7R and leave the remaining church property—containing a gym and its mechanical units—on the other lot. Speaker 2 said the Planning and Zoning Commission conditionally approved the proposed replat at its Dec. 16, 2024 meeting, pending approval of the variances by the zoning board of adjustments.

Staff described the site as developed in a nonconforming manner with parcels that had been illegally subdivided over time and structures built across lot lines; one dwelling sits on a parcel that was not previously platted. Speaker 2 said the requested variances would "effectively clean up those illegally subdivided lots and create actual setbacks for the structures you see before you," allowing the church to proceed with the sale while retaining mechanical equipment for the gym.

During the staff presentation Speaker 2 asked whether the family structure predated the church and answered, "I believe so," indicating a tentative historical note about the building's timeline.

After the presentation, Speaker 1 moved to approve the variances. "I move to approve the variances as presented," Speaker 1 said. The transcript records the motion but does not record a second, a roll-call, or the outcome of a vote.
