A RESOLUTION OF THE SEWARD PLANNING AND ZONING
COMMISSION, GRANTING RESURRECTION CHRISTIAN CHURCH A
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO CONSTRUCT A NEW CHURCH AT 520
FOURTH AVENUE, ON LOT 30A, BLOCK 30, ORIGINAL TOWNSITE OF
SEWARD
WHEREAS, on May 12, 1998 Resurrection Christian Church submitted an application,
along with the appropriate filing fee, for a conditional use permit to construct a new church on
Lot 30A, Block 30, Original Townsite of Seward; and
WHEREAS, the property's Land Use Plan and Zoning designation is Office Residential;
and
WHEREAS, according to the Zoning Code, Land Uses Allowed Table, (15.10.225)
churches are allowed in the Office Residential District by Conditional Use Permit; and
WHEREAS, a duly advertised public hearing, meeting the requirements of SCC Section
15.01.040 was held by the Commission on June 3, 1998.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Seward Planning and Zoning
Commission that:
Section 1. In accordance with SCC ~ 15.10.320 (D), the Planning and Zoning
Commission has reviewed the applicant's request for a conditional use permit (CUP) to construct
a new church on Lot 30A, Block 30, Original Townsite of Seward, and made the following
findings of fact and conclusions:
A. The use is consistent with the purpose of this chapter and the purposes
of the zoning district.
Zoning. The property is zoned Office Residential (OR). The purpose of the OR district is to
provide for medium density residential, commercial and office development designed to act as a
transition zone between the high density central business district and surrounding medium-density
residential districts. A church is allowed in the OR district by Conditional Use Permit.
The existing church is a nonconforming structure because it was located on the site prior to the
existence of the zoning code, and it fails to meet all of the development requirements of the
current code. According to the Zoning Code a use that was legal and did not require a CUP when
it was initiated, but which would now require a CUP under the terms of the Zoning Code, shall

removed. The Fire Department will determine whether or not a new fire hydrant is required in
the proximity of the church when the building permit application is submitted and the plans are
reviewed.
E. The proposed use will not be harmful to the public safety, health or
welfare. The building construction will meet the requirements of the Uniform Building and Fire
Codes. There is no evidence that the proposed development will be harmful to the public safety,
health or welfare, provided that the building footprint is relocated off of the existing twenty foot
sewer easement which runs east and west across the middle of the lot.
F. Any and all specific conditions deemed necessary by the commission to
fulfill the above-mentioned conditions shall be met by the applicant. These may include but
are not limited to measures relative to access, screening, site development, building design,
operation of the use and other similar aspects to the proposed use. Based on the above
findings and conclusions, approval of the CUP shall be subject to the following conditions:
1. A revised site plan must be submitted to the Community Development Department
which identifies that the new church will not be located over the existing 20 foot
utility easement which runs east and west across the property. The revised site
plan must also identify the required off-street parking of one space per four seats
maximum capacity;
2. A retaining wall must be placed along the north and east property lines in order to
provide the required parking;
3. Solid waste containers will be provided as required by SCC ~ 14.04 and placed in
a location approved by the city contractor for solid waste collection;
4. A sign permit is required from the Community Development Department per SCC
~ 15.20.020;
5. The existing building must be removed from the property within 12 months from
the date the certificate of occupancy is issued for the new church;
6. The property owner shall sign a standard city utility easement for the existing
sewer line to replace the unrecorded easements on file in the Community
Development Department; and
7. All areas not devoted to buildings, structures, drives, walks, off-street parking
facilities or other authorized installations shall be planted with lawn, trees, shrubs
or flowers.
