AGENDA SECTION MEETING DATE PREPARED BY Plannin Se tember 20, 2010 erem Barnhart, Plannin Mana er ITEM DESCRIPTION REVIEWED By Request by Elk River Lutheran Church for Conditional Use Permit for Church Facility at 19437 Evans Street,Case No. CU REVIEWED BY 10-19 -Public Hearing ACTION REQUESTED Staff and the Planning Commission recommend approval of an Interim Use Permit (IUP) to allow an institutional use (Elk River Lutheran Church) at 19437 Evans Street fox up to five years, subject to the following conditions: 1. Interim Use Permit shall expire December 31, 2015 or when Elk River Lutheran vacates the site, which ever occurs first. 2. As a Conditional Use Permit (IUP) is not a Building Permit, the applicant shall apply for and receive all required permits. 3. The development shall meet all applicable fire codes. 4. Approval of the Planned Unit Development Agreement amendment authorizing institutional uses as a conditional use (CU 10-18). BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION The review of this request is predicated on the City Council approving the Planned Unit Development Agreement amendment to permit institutional uses as conditional uses at the subject parcel (CU 10-18). Should the City Council not approve the CUP to amend the PUD agreement, the proper action would be to deny the application on the grounds that it is not permitted by zoning. Proposal The Elk River Lutheran Church proposed to lease approximately 10,000 square feet of an existing vacant commercial space for their church. The proposal includes development of the space fora 279 seat sanctuary, eight classrooms, and five offices. A proposed floor plan is attached in the Planning Commission staff report. The church requests an Interim Use Permit, to expire December 31, 2015 or when the church vacates the property, which ever occurs first. The church reports that their peak hours will be Sunday mornings, although the classrooms will be used occasionally during the week and the offices will be used Monday through Friday. No changes to the exterior of the building are proposed. Should the church desire signage at a later date, this signage would require a sign permit. The applicant is currently working closely with the Building Official and Fire Department to ensure that all applicable codes axe addressed.
