24-525 — Expansion of outdoor amenities and landscaping including outdoor kitchen and restroom pavilion, outdoor entertainment pavilion, and concrete flatwork in Bellaire, TX
CityRise Church is seeking a Specific Use Permit to increase lot coverage from 64.92% to 73.66% (up to the 75% maximum allowed with a permit) in an R-3 Residential district. The project includes construction of outdoor pavilions totaling approximately 1,600 square feet plus landscaping and walking paths on the 4.10-acre property. The church is currently legally non-conforming without a permit and this approval would enable its outdoor expansion plans.
