F. zoning map of Na\ arrc. B-4 is Ihe only district that is available that would havr olllcc use as the primary intent of the district. Only two areas are zoned as B-4. The areas arc along Shad>wood Road (C R. 19) s«ujih of the Shoreline Drive (C.R.15) intersection, developed properties arc the Navarre Bank. Tonkawest Onice.s (Svoboia property) and freshwater Center office building. The Casco Run Oflucs on Shoreline Drive arc also zoned B-4. All properties in the B-4 district arc cither in a general office use or undeveloped. Hte undeveloped properties arc adjacent to the Svobota site. The Svobota office building (known commonly as the former Remax building) could accommodate a church use. However, it is one of only a few olVice buildings in the City. If the property were to redevelop into a church building the future ability ol the site for office use would be limited at best. Likely, the site would have to be redeveloped to revert back to oflice use. The adjacent vacant land and Svobota property has the potential to redevelop as a planned office development. A church building on the property could prevent future redevelopment of the site with the adjacent properties as demand for office space in the Navarre area increa-ses. Use of Existing Buildings for a Church I'sc I he Bay vv ind Christian Church has used space within the Freshwater Building in the past as a tenant. It is not known if other churches have usc*d other buildings in the district have used space for the proposed use. I he church use would not nomvally conflict with other uses in the office buildings. Ty pically. churches see the heaviest use during evenings and weekends. Parking and demand for other building amenities would not compete during weekday business hours. CUP Standards Churches arc only allowed by a conditional use permit within "R" districts. Tliey are allowed per the following: "Churches including those related structures located on tlic same site which are an integral part of the church proper, conv ents or homes' for persons related to a religious function on the same site prov ided no building otlier than a residence shall be located within fifty feet of any lot line of an abutting lot in an "R" District." (Section 10.20. Subdivision 3 (B)). Other standards that apply to churches: Parkine One space for each four seats in the main assembly liall. Siens The B-4 district allows four square feet for each front .foot of building md an additional one square foot for each front fool of the lot not occupied by a building. No individual sign con exceed SO square feet. The height for signs in the district allows a sign to extend two feel above the highiest outside wall of the principal building. A church use in a "R" district would allow one sign not to e.xceed 12 square feet per surface. •01-2676 Franilin) S^oboda ClHitUOT Cbitfch ZoAint Code AracndmcM la B-4 Suodard* 4 or f i
