The Dublin Board of Zoning Appeals meeting on July 24, 2025, focused on a proposed addition to Cypress Church, located at 6357 Durban Drive in Galloway, Ohio. The church's senior pastor, Ken Murphy, presented the project, emphasizing its aesthetic benefits and the importance of maintaining green space in the area.

Pastor Murphy highlighted that the church currently serves a congregation of approximately 500 members, with multiple services held to manage attendance. A recent parking study indicated a utilization rate of 44%, which the pastor noted is consistent throughout the year, with peak attendance during holidays like Christmas and Easter.

The proposed addition is described as a standalone project, primarily aimed at enhancing the church's facilities, including interior renovations in classroom areas and the café. While the addition will not increase the overall square footage significantly, it may require adjustments to the existing handicap parking spaces due to the construction area. The church plans to relocate some of these spaces to ensure accessibility while adhering to updated codes.

The discussion underscored the church's commitment to maintaining the aesthetic quality of the site and its surroundings, with concerns raised about the potential negative impact of adding parking in front of the building. The Board of Zoning Appeals will consider these factors as they review the proposal, which aims to balance the church's growth with the needs of the community.
