<br />The parking lot that serves the building has a total of 78 striped parking stalls (this includes four <br />handicap spaces). There is additional parking area available on the site which is used for parking <br />but which is currently not marked. The applicant claims there are 91 parking stalls available on <br />the lot and this is confIrmed by the approved site plan for the project dated November 1999. As <br />previously noted, it is anticipated that Sunday services will have a combined attendance of <br />around 75 people to start and growing to 150 people. Under City Code, places of assembly <br />require a parking space for every three seats. Therefore, a total of fIfty (50) parking stalls would <br />need to be provided to meet the built out requirement for 150 people. <br /> <br />\Vhile there doesn't appear to be a conflict with the existing businesses, this is a high demand for <br />parking because it will be a place of assembly instead of retail which is what is the current use. If <br />the Planning Commission recommends approval it should be with the following conditions: <br />1. Remaining parking area should be lined to reflect the 91 stalls they are required to <br />provide. <br />2. A cross access easement should be required with adjacent property owner for overflow <br />parking. <br /> <br />The request was forwarded to MNDOT for review. . MNDOT responded with no concerns <br />regarding the request. It is Staff s feeling that the Planning Commission should recommend <br />allowing for the Interim Use Permit to be granted for a minimum of three years. It is Staffs <br />belief that allowing for the Interim Use Permit to be in effect for three years will allow the <br />Applicant to have the needed flexibility for their needs and allow the City to review the <br />occupancy situation in a reasonable amount of time so it does not become an issue. <br /> <br />There will need to be interior remodeling. A building permit will need to be granted by the City <br />prior to commencement of the work. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />Staff recommends that the Interim Use Permit request by the Freedom Christian Center <br />International (FCCI) to allow for the operation of temporary church facility in an area zoned H-1 <br />Highway 10 Business District be granted for a term of three years. <br /> <br />Commission Action: <br /> <br />Motion to recommend that City Council adopt Resolution # <br />relating to the request for an Interim Use Permit. <br /> <br />adopting Findings of Fact <br /> <br />-and- <br /> <br />Motion to recommend that City Council adopt Resolution # <br />an Interim Use Permit and declaring the terms as proposed. <br /> <br />approving the request for <br /> <br />-or- <br /> <br />16 <br />
