Somerset Bible Baptist Church gymnasium
Description
The church previously sought variances to build an 8,640-square-foot gymnasium, including relief for fewer parking spaces and buffer requirements. A memorializing resolution was scheduled for consideration, but the agenda materials list the item as approved.
Impact summary
Neighbors will see a metal gym building mostly hidden behind the church and screened by woods; parking grows from 74 to 100 spaces, and driveways will shift to one-way in and one-out, which the county will review.

Franklin Township Zoning Board of Adjustment Meeting - Apr 2, 2026
The church wants to build a one-story, 35-foot, 8,640 sq ft gymnasium behind its existing building, needing relief from parking count (100 vs. 123 required), parking location, and buffer rules. The board approved the variances 5-0, but the church must still return for site plan approval.
