Consider a Conditional Use Permit request by Solid Rock Church, PH, Case No. CU 94-15 Planning Assistant Gary Schmitz indicated that Solid Rock Church is requesting a conditional use permit to operate a school accommodating grades K-12 from the existing church facility. Gary Schmitz reviewed the history of the Solid Rock Church which was formerly known as the Assembly of God Church. He indicated that there have been numerous requests by the Church throughout the past ten years on a wide variety of topics. These requests involved neighborhood concerns regarding increased traffic in the area. Gary Schmitz explained that due to the neighborhood concerns regarding traffic, a traffic study was conducted by Benshoof and Associates concerning the addition of the proposed school to the church facility. The traffic study concluded that the school operation will generate very little traffic during peak traffic periods and that the busing service will bus approximately 60% of the students. He indicated that the study ultimately conCluded that the addition of the proposed school to the existing church should not significantly impact traffic on the residential streets. e Vice Mayor Farber opened the public hearing.
