CU 24-14 Narrative <br />Project Scope & Description: <br />This project is Phase 02 of a multi-phased master plan. Phase 02 includes a new addition on the north side of <br />the existing building as well as the Site work that is associated for the future additions. <br />The Master Planning of this project aims to construct new additions to the current building, addressing the <br />church’s growth needs in three distinct areas: <br />o A new dedicated multipurpose space for children’s activities, allowing for the existing space to be <br /> utilized for additional classrooms. <br />o A new space tailored to the growing attendance of youth. <br />o A new worship center, lobby, and administrative space to serve the entire congregation. <br />This expansion aligns with the Elk River Comprehensive Plan, which designates this area as one of targeted <br />and projected growth areas for the city. The Future Land Use Map indicates a projection of new traditional <br />single-family homes within just a few miles of the church location. <br />The design of the expansion is designed to complement the existing church’s aesthetics while utilizing <br />materials that are efficient, low-maintenance, and durable. The proposed exterior will feature load bearing <br />CMU, precast concrete panels, and standing seam metal siding. <br />The current parking spaces count is 287 parking spaces, with a future proposed location for an additional 34 <br />spaces. <br />Number of Employees & Hours of Operation: <br />River of Life church currently has 13 employees. The hours vary depending on the season, but below is the <br />typical hours of operation: <br />o Sunday = 9am-12pm (Church Services) <br />o Monday = 9am-2pm (Office / Staff) <br /> Fall = 9am-4pm <br />o Tuesday = 9am-2pm (Office / Staff) <br /> Fall = 9am-4pm <br />o Wednesday = 9am-2pm (Office / Staff) <br /> Fall = 9am-4pm <br />o Thursday = 9am-2pm (Office / Staff) <br /> Fall = 9am-4pm <br />o Friday = Closed <br />o Saturday = Closed <br />Signage: <br />There are two proposed signs for the project, one on the Northeast side of the building and one on the <br />Southwest side.
