Meeting Date: 09/24/2019 By: Elliot Mohler, Community Development Information Title: PUBLIC HEARING: Adopt Resolution #19-209 Granting a Conditional Use Permit for Hope Fellowship at 6000 167th Avenue NW Purpose/Background: The City has received an application from Hope Fellowship of Ramsey (the "Applicant") to operate a Religious Institution at 6000 167th Avenue NW (the "Subject Property"). The Subject Property is zoned B-1 Business District. Religious Institutions are allowed in this district with a Conditional Use Permit. The City previously granted an Interim Use Permit for the Religious Institution as the use was not yet allowed via Conditional Use Permit.

The properties to the west and south are zoned R-1 Residential (Rural Developing) and the properties to the east across Highway 47/St. Francis Boulevard are zoned Planned Use Development (PUD).
