• <br />• <br />• <br />STAFF ORIGINATOR: <br />P & Z MEETING DATE: <br />TOPIC: <br />AGENDA ITEM 6A <br />Tanda Gretz <br />January 9, 2002 <br />Public Hearing for a Conditional Use Permit <br />Amendment for the construction of a 1,380 <br />sq.ft. picnic shelter <br />Gethsemane United Methodist Church <br />7330 Lake Drive <br />ACTION REQURIED: 3/5 vote <br />BACKGROUND <br />The subject property is zoned R -3. Although Gethsemane United Methodist Church was <br />a permitted use in an R -3 zone under the Zoning Ordinance in effect during its <br />construction in 1989, a subsequent change in the Ordinance now requires a Conditional <br />Use Permit for any Church located in an R -3 zone. As a result, the desire of the Church <br />to construct a picnic shelter will need to be handled administratively as a Conditional Use <br />Permit Amendment since it is an alteration of the site, and according to City Zoning <br />Ordinance Section 2, Subd. 2.B.13, "any enlargement, structural alteration, or <br />intensification of such use shall require an amended conditional use permit." <br />ANALYSIS <br />The proposed picnic shelter will be considered an accessory building (see Exhibit #2). <br />Under City Zoning Ordinance Section 3, Subd. 4.D.8.f., accessory buildings for property <br />located within an R -3 zone, greater than 1 -1/4 acres in size, are limited in number to a <br />maximum of one attached garage and two detached accessory structures. The maximum <br />total square footage for accessory buildings in an R -3 zone for a lot of this size is limited <br />to 2,020 sq. ft. <br />
