The residents expressed concern that the proposed project is actually an expansion of the Church via the addition of more parking to the site.

The residents were concerned that with a permanent building, larger in square footage than the modular buildings, and a multipurpose room addition, the Church would bring extra activities to its daily operation; therefore, the requested applications are an expansion of the Church, which could not be supported by the neighborhood in which it is located.
