34-824 — Expansion of existing house of worship with new sanctuary in Palm Springs, FL
St. Peter Coptic Orthodox Church proposes a 6,606 sq ft net expansion of its existing building located in the Commercial General district to add an 11,478 sq ft sanctuary, bringing the total to approximately 32,287 sq ft at a cost of $4 million. The applicant is seeking a parking variance (PSV23-15) to allow 181 parking stalls where 189 are required, with staff and the Planning and Zoning Board recommending conditional approval. As a non-profit facility, the project will not affect assessed property valuation but will enhance the area.
