Jamaat ul Muttaqeen Mosque addition
Summary
The mosque's small Quran-study addition triggered a full parking calculation requiring 97 spaces, but the site — boxed in by a retention area, canal, and narrow old SW 196 Avenue — can only hold 66. The board granted both variances, tying approval to the operating limits in the justification statement. Members debated whether 41 existing plus 25 new spaces will ease chronic street parking on the narrow two-lane road.
