Summary

Two nearby property owners spoke at the Planning Commission public hearing and told commissioners they had no objections to the proposed church and believed it would be a positive addition to the neighborhood.

During the public hearing on Conditional Use Permit 2025‑02, William Frye Judkins said he and his wife own the land behind and across the street from the proposed site and voiced support: "We have no objections to this at all. Matter of fact, we think it'd be a good thing for the neighborhood," Judkins said. He identified himself by name and neighborhood ties when addressing the Commission.

Roy Lane, owner of 15550 White Marsh Road and the adjacent property, also spoke in favor: "I have no problems having that next to my property," he said, citing his knowledge of the church's operations. No speakers opposed the application in the recorded public comments.
