HEARING REQUIRED: No Hearing Required
SUMMARY:
The CRA rehabilitated the historic home of General Daniel “Chappie” James and constructed new facilities located within the General Daniel “Chappie” James Memorial Park supporting the General Daniel “Chappie “ James, Jr. Commemorative Museum and community-based Youth Flight Academy located at 1606 - 1608 Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive. The programming and use of the Museum and Flight Academy, from time to time, require the provision of parking beyond the availability of the parking located on-site.
Mount Canaan Missionary Baptist Church maintains an unimproved parking lot at the corner of Moreno Street and Sixth Avenue that is generally not in use during the hours of operation of the Museum and Flight Academy. Mount Canaan is willing to allow shared use of its parking lot by the Museum and Flight Academy when space is available
