by other properties in the same district under the terms of the ordinance.
3.That special conditions do not result from actions of the applicant (self-imposed hardship);
4.That granting of the variance will not confer any special privilege on the applicant that is denied by
this ordinance to other lands, structures, or buildings in the same district;
5.That granting of the variance is in harmony with the intent and purposes of the ordinance;
6.That the variance will not adversely affect surrounding property, the general neighborhood, or the
community as a whole;

permitted or non-conforming use of lands, structures, or buildings in other districts were considered as
a basis for the issuance of a variance;
8.That the variance will not allow the establishment of a use not permissible under the terms of the

regulations & codes for Zoning/Fire/Building/Engineering & Storm water.
DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST:
1.Use-on-appeal in order to operate a church (place of assembly) on land zoned residential and general business
ZONING ORDINANCE REFERENCED:
Article 7 – District Requirements
Section 71 –Uses permitted on appeal: Public utility structures, such as electric substations, gas metering stations, sewage
pumping stations and similar structures; general hospitals for humans, except primarily for mental cases; churches;
cemeteries; semi-public buildings; golf courses; municipal, county, state or federal use; kindergartens, nurseries, nursery
schools, day care centers, private schools; and satellite dishes or discs, not defined herein:
ANAYLSIS/EVALUATION:
The applicant desires to renovate a dwelling on this parcel located on Old Farm Lane into a place of assembly (church)
utilizing 16.2± acres of land. The renovation will consist of building a worship hall, classrooms, nursery, and a fellowship
hall.
Agenda Item #200811-02
Page 2 of 2
Below is the staff assessment of the three general questions applicable to uses-on-appeal:
1.Is the proposed church an allowable use-on-appeal, and not a prohibited use in an R-3 district?
The requested use is an allowable use-on-appeal. It is NOT a prohibited use in an R-3 district.
2.Is development of the proposed church on Old Farm Lane South in the public interest? Does the proposed
development meet the spirit of the City of Prattville Zoning Ordinance?
At this present time, the parcel has a house located on it. Messiah Lutheran Church now wants to renovate the
building so that it meets the needs of the congregation more efficiently. The zoning ordinance would require
adequate parking be provided per number of seats. Furthermore, the site would require a landscape plan. For
parking areas abutting a residential area, a 20’ landscaped buffer is required with sufficient plantings to reach 8’
height within a two year period. Additional interior lot landscape islands are required for a parking area with 40 or
more spaces.
3.Does the proposed church use cause substantial adverse impact to adjacent or nearby properties or uses?
Landscape buffers will create separation between the church use and nearby residential dwellings. Messiah
Church has trees serving as buffers on three sides of the building. The section that is not hidden by a buffer is to
allow access to the parking lot for the congregation.
The Board shall review the application for compliance with this ordinance and all other applicable codes and ordinances
of the city. The Board shall make written findings determining that the proposed use-on-appeal will not (§35):
1.Be contrary to the public interest and will insure that the spirit of this ordinance is observed;
2.Permit the establishment of a use prohibited in the zoning district; or
3.Cause a substantial adverse impact on property or improvements in the vicinity or in the district in which the
proposed use is located.

Article 3. – Board of Zoning Adjustment
Section 36. - Variances.
a.The Board may authorize upon appeal in specific cases such variances from the terms of this ordinance as will not
be contrary to the public interest, where, owing to special conditions, a literal enforcement of the provisions of
this ordinance will result in unnecessary hardship, and so that the spirit of the ordinance shall be observed and
substantial justice done.
b. A variance may be granted in such individual cases upon a finding by the Board that an unnecessary hardship
does, in fact, exist. In no case shall the Board grant a variance that permits the land, building or structure to be
occupied by a use prohibited within the zoning district in which the land, building or structure is located.
c.It is the intent of this ordinance that a variance be issued only to mitigate a physical condition of a parcel of land
which poses a practical barrier to its development and use conformance with this ordinance. Variances shall be
limited to the minimum adjustment necessary for the reasonable use of the land.
d. Before any variance is granted, the Board shall make written findings certifying the existence of the following
standards.
1. That special conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to the land, structure, or building
involved and which are not applicable to other lands structures, or buildings in the same district.
2. That a literal interpretation of the ordinance would deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed
by other properties in the same district under the terms of the ordinance.
3. That special conditions do not result from actions of the applicant (self-imposed hardship);
4. That granting of the variance will not confer any special privilege on the applicant that is denied by this
ordinance to other lands, structures, or buildings in the same district;
5. That granting of the variance is in harmony with the intent and purposes of the ordinance;
6. That the variance will not adversely affect surrounding property, the general neighborhood, or the
community as a whole;
7. That no non-conforming use of neighboring lands, structures, or buildings in the same district, and no
permitted or non-conforming use of lands, structures, or buildings in other districts were considered as a
basis for the issuance of a variance;
8. That the variance will not allow the establishment of a use not permissible under the terms of the
ordinance in the district involved, or any use expressly or by implication prohibited by the terms of the
ordinance in said district;
9. The variance requested is the minimum adjustment necessary to enable the legal use of the land,
building or structure.

ANAYLSIS/EVALUATION:
Applicant is proposing to install/construct a 14’x45’ RV Carport structure in the rear side yard along the northern border
of property. Proposed RV Carport will encroach on the required side setback requirement of 5 feet from side property
lines by approximately 1 foot on the northwest corner. Additionally, the property already has an existing 12’x12’
accessory structure immediately behind the home. The proposed RV Carport is proposed to be 2’ from this existing
accessory structure. The Zoning Ordinance requires that all accessory structures have a distance of 5’ from other
accessory structures.
This property currently has a cumulative area of existing accessory structures of approximately 624 sq ft between 3
structures (12’x12’ storage shed, 12’x24’ storage shed, and 12’x16’ pergola/gazebo). If the proposed structure is included
(15’x45’) the total cumulative area of accessory structures is approximately 1,299 square feet. Per the Autauga County
Tax Records, the primary structure at 1816 Seasons Drive is 1,562 square feet. Therefore, the existing and proposed
accessory structures on this parcel exceed the maximum of fifty percent (50%) of the gross floor area of the primary
structure. Proposed and existing accessory structures equal approximately eighty-three percent (83%) gross floor area of
primary structure.
This request violates Section 69.3 (2) b., (2) c. and (2) d. of the City of Prattville Zoning Ordinance.
