Case #10: Request for an Interim Use Permit to Allow for the Operation of a Church in the E-1 Employment District; Case of St. Katherine Drexel Catholic Community Assistant Community Development Director Trudgeon explained the City has received an application for an Interim Use Permit from the St. Katherine Drexel Catholic Community to allow for the operation of a temporary church facility in an area zoned E-1 Employment District. The applicant is proposing to utilize 13,440 square feet of the building located at 6390 McKinley Street. The applicant is proposing to remodel the warehouse to have a worship area as well as parish offices. It is the City's understanding that the applicant is actively looking for property in Ramsey on which to construct a permanent facility. The E~I Employment Zoning District does not expressly permit churches or other places of worship. The E-1 Employment Zoning District does allow for offices as a permitted use. The applicant has asked for at least a three-year Interim Usc Permit to allow for the operation of a church in the E~I Zoning District; City Code states that an Interim Use Permit can be granted up to a maximum of five years. It is staff's and the Planning Commission's feeling that the City Council allow for the Interim Use Permit to be granted lbr a total of five years. Allowing for the Interim Use Permit to be in effect for the full five years will allow the applicant to have the needed flexibility in securing the property and constructing a permanent facility. Assistant Community Development Director Trudgeon stated staff has reviewed the use and finds that it is compatible with the surrounding area. The majority of activity contemplated by the applicant will occur on Sunday or during the evenings when most of the surrounding City Council/October 26, 2004 Page 12 of 15
