To Whom It May Concern
The Church of Celebration Metro, a.k.a. Rock Creek Church, owns 26 acres fronting W.
First Street. Rock Creek Church uses its facility for religious worship with on -site
parking and the wood framed structure towards the rear of the property solely as
administrative offices.
The church conducts four worship services on the weekends. One on Saturday
evening and three on Sunday mornings. During the week it serves as a place to meet
for small group Bible study. The administration offices are open Monday through
Friday during normal business hours.
Plans are underway to add a 1000-seat worship venue with additional parking. The
current land parcels are zoned Agriculture and we are requesting a zoning change to
a Planned Development using a base zoning of Office with the appropriate
modifications.
If you have any questions regarding the Letter of Intent or the project you can contact
Jim Riley with Brockette Davis Drake Inc. at(214) 535-4027.
