STAFF ORIGINATOR: C. C. MEETING DATE: TOPIC: VOTE: BACKGROUND AGENDA ITEM 7 C Jeff Smyser March 22, 2004 Resolution 04 -17 • Conditional Use Permit For A Church In the Rural Zoning District, and • Preliminary Plat, Eagle Brook Addition Eagle Brook Church 3/5 for Conditional Use Permit 3/5 for Preliminary Plat (combined into one resolution) Eagle Brook Church proposes to construct a new facility on 90+ acres on the west side of 20th Ave., about 1/4 mile north of 77th St. A church is a conditional use in the Rural zoning district. The application also includes a preliminary plat. The proposed plat splits the property into two lots. The existing house on the property would be on one lot. The proposed church would be on another lot. The required site and building plan review is an administrative review. Most of the elements examined for a site plan are relevant to the conditional use permit, and so are included in this report. The application includes the request for an increase in building height that can be included in a conditional use permit. The City processed an Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) on this project in 2002 -2003. That review examined the potential environmental impacts of the project. The design incorporated into the current application used information gathered during the EAW process. The P & Z opened the public hearing on the conditional use permit application at the November 2003 meeting. That public hearing was continued. A number of issues were unanswered, one of which was the existing house on the site. The church then submitted an application for a preliminary plat to create a separate lot to allow the house to remain. A preliminary plat requires a public hearing. New notices were published and mailed, and the public hearing for the plat was opened at the December 2003 meeting. We then combined the public hearings for the conditional use permit and the preliminary plat. The P & Z made a recommendation at the January 2004 meeting.
