An application for a sign permit for a ground sign has been submitted by the church. The sign location is identified on a plan. Any wall sign on the exterior of the building will require a permit. All signs will be reviewed with sign permit applications. Conditional Use Permit There are general criteria for all CUPs and specific conditions that apply to public, educational and religious buildings. General Criteria: The Planning and Zoning Board shall recommend a conditional use permit and the Council shall order the issuance of such permit only if it finds the following criteria have been met: a. The proposed development application has been found to be consistent with the policies and recommendations of the Lino Lakes Comprehensive Plan including: Land Use Plan, Transportation Plan, Utility (Sewer and Water) Plans, Local Water Management Plan, Capital Improvement Plan, Policy Plan, Natural Environment Plan. • The site is guided and zoned for commercial development, with the infrastructure in place for activity of such intensity. The site was approved for a use that included large numbers of people assembling in the building. The use as a church will not create incompatibilities as long as the church complies with the performance standards and conditions of approval. b. The proposed development application is compatible with present and future land uses of the area. • The site has been guided and zoned for commercial activity. The use as a church will not create incompatibilities as long as the use complies with the performance standards and conditions of approval. c. The proposed development application conforms to performance standards herein and other applicable City Codes. • If the conditions of approval are followed, performance standards will be met. d. Traffic generated by a proposed development application is within the capabilities of the City when (specific levels of service listed in the ordinance are met): • The traffic generated by a church in the building will be more than a vacant building, somewhat greater than that of the old, smaller VFW, and comparable to the new VFW in the new building. It not expected to create ongoing traffic problems. The Apollo Drive, Marketplace Drive, and Main St. intersections with Lake Drive are signalized intersections, though the Main street signal functions as a stop sign. If in the future, traffic becomes an issue, the City can revisit the CUP and consider adding additional conditions such as traffic control personnel for large events. —62—
