Project Description

• The applicant is requesting approval of an amendment application (zone change) to allow a variety of uses to operate on the site as well as to allow for future redevelopment of the Calvary Church campus.  Specifically, several uses not allowed in the Professional zoning district, including religious/educational uses, are proposed to be permitted on the site as well as modifications to development standards tailored to the Calvary Church site.  The Calvary Church Master Plan consists of the demolition of four buildings, the partial demolition of a fifth building, and the construction of three new buildings.  At the completion of the master plan build out, the size of the campus will increase by 46,840 square feet, bringing the total square footage of the campus to 404,341 square feet.
• The buildings to be demolished include a 7,500 square foot classroom building (Building B), an 8,800 square foot office building (Building D), a 3,600 square foot classroom building (Building F), and a 7,900 square foot fellowship hall (Building I).  Additionally, approximately 6,000 square feet will be removed from the existing Chapel building (Building E).  In their place will be a new three-story, 29,000 square foot Children’s Ministry Center (New Building B), a three-story, 32,000 square foot Student Life Center (New Building D), and a two-story, 19,000 square foot Community Life Center (New Building D).
• Other work to be completed as part of the master plan includes the renovation of the existing buildings, the rehabilitation of exterior and interior spaces, new landscape and hardscape throughout the campus, new accessory structures such as shade canopies, new fencing and enhanced signage.
