Living Waters Church Request Page 2 July 17, 1995 • to make sure the proposed use meets will all public safety concerns. Issues such as occupant load of the available space, providing proper exiting from the building, arrangement of chairs and proper lighting in case of an emergency. At the time of preparing this memo, inspection of the space had not been completed, however, if the Council approves this request, all building and fire issues will have to be satisfied prior to occupying the space. Parkin The Elk River Mall currently has a parking lot with 848 parking stalls. The two primary tenants include Pamida (55,000 square feet) and the Elk River Theater (34,000 square feet and 1,700 seats). The City's parking requirements for these two businesses alone would be: • Pamida (1 per' 200 square feet) 275 stalls. • Elk River Theater (1 per 3 seats) 566 stalls. Total 841 stalls Parking requirements for the proposed church use is also 1 space for every three seats. Based on the proposed 1,500 seats, 500 parking stalls would • then be required. In summary, the parking requirements for the three primary uses at Elk River Mall (Pamida, theater and church) would require a total of 1,341 parking stalls. This is 493 spaces more than currently exists. Since this is a temporary use, the City Council could consider two options to address the parking shortage: 1) Have staff monitor the parking on a daily basis, and have the church submit an action plan that can be implemented if parking problems occur. 2) Reduce the amount of available seating at the proposed crusade, therefore, reducing the parking needs. Hours of Operation The proposed hours of the crusade is from 7 p.m. and ending at approximately 11 p.m. for each day during the two-week period. Most businesses within the mall close between 9:00 and 9:30 p.m. with the exception of the theater. The last movie of the evening typically lets out between 11 and 12 p.m. each night.
