Board grants 12-month extension for 473 North Avenue church addition

The board approved a 12-month extension requested by the owner of Refugio de Esperanza for an approved project at 473 North Avenue to construct a one-story addition enlarging the sanctuary entry hall and creating offices. The request was presented as an administrative item; a board member moved to grant the 12-month extension and the motion passed on roll call with the five members present voting yes.

The extension maintains the previously approved variances and gives the applicant additional time to secure building permits and proceed with construction.
