The Stafford Planning & Zoning Commission meeting on August 12, 2025, focused on two significant proposals for religious institutions in the city. The first proposal involves an expansion of the Chungmei Temple located at 12550 Jebbia Lane. The expansion will add 3,150 square feet of office and classroom space to the existing structure. The project is classified under the RCT zoning but requires a Specific Use Permit (SUP) for any religious institution, whether new or expanded. Staff members recommended approval of the expansion, noting that it would comply with all necessary parking and building regulations.

The second proposal discussed was for a new religious institution at 210 Brand Lane, which will occupy an existing suite within a multi-tenant building. Similar to the first proposal, this project also requires an SUP. The layout of the interior is designed to meet parking requirements, with seating arranged to accommodate one parking space for every four seats in the main auditorium.

Both proposals received no public opposition during the meeting, and the commission unanimously voted in favor of recommending approval for both projects. The decisions reflect the commission's ongoing support for the development of religious institutions within Stafford, ensuring they meet local regulations and community needs.
