Z-25-025 — Church (Sunday school building addition) in Murfreesboro, TN
St. Karas Coptic Orthodox Church received approval with conditions to construct a 12,268 sq ft Sunday school building addition on their 3.6-acre property at 1207 SE Broad Street. The project requires consolidation of three parcels, site plan approval, dedication of 14 feet of right-of-way (2' to meet MTP standard plus 12' for a future city-constructed right turn lane), installation of a 6-foot vinyl fence, and approved height variance of 9 feet to allow 44-foot height for the staircase area. Traffic impacts are minimal (19 trips in AM peak, 18 in PM peak), and the church will continue utilizing existing parking with city indemnification for ROW areas during Phase I until the city constructs improvements in Phase II.
