referenced striping and monitoring of the number of off-street parking spaces required. The proposed church operation does represent a change in use (from retail to place of assembly) and therefore, will require fire suppression. The Applicant is currently negotiating a lease with the City (current owner of property) and they are aware of the fire suppression requirement. The Applicant is requesting the Interim Use Permit for a term of thirty (30) months. At that time, they would evaluate their operation and whether the location is working out. If, at that time, they determine that the location is working, Northern Light Church would need to apply for another Interim Use Permit to continue operating at this site. The request was forwarded to Mn/DOT for review and they stated that they have no comments/concerns regarding this request. Funding Source: All costs associated with reviewing the application are the responsibility of the Applicant. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approving the request for an Interim Use Permit contingent upon striping of additional parking stalls and installation of a fire suppression system prior to occupying the building.
