The proposed rezoning is not consistent with the Eastern Area Plan.However, the subject property supports an existing religious institution which was constructed prior to county zoning.The property currently has a residential zoning designation.Rezoning from AO to OI would bring the site into better compliance with the ordinance.There are two standards: Front on an arterial or collector road. She said it does do this, it fronts on Rimer Road which is a major thoroughfare. The required setbacks of each zone shall be doubled inresidential districts. Currently the site does not conform to the double setback requirement.Rezoning to OI will bring the site into compliance. The current impervious coverage is currently over the maximum for AO zoning.Rezoning to OI will bring the site into compliance and enable the applicant to expand. 4
