Commission approves setback reduction to allow church addition near Leake Park
Summary
TMAPC approved a minor amendment (PUD-236-B-5) to reduce the northern setback from 80 feet to 50 feet to permit a building addition to an existing religious assembly adjacent to Leake Park; staff recommended approval and the item passed on consent.
The commission approved a request to reduce a PUD setback requirement that will allow an addition to a religious assembly building west of East 76th Street South and South Memorial Drive. Staff noted the underlying zoning would require a 25‑foot setback for religious assemblies; the applicant requested a 50‑foot setback (reduced from the PUD’s existing 80 feet) to better preserve a buffer to the park.
Mike Thedford, the applicant’s representative, said the design concept accommodates one‑car garages for townhomes in a related plat extension. Staff recommended approval and the commission approved the consent agenda, including this amendment, by a 9-0 vote.
