• AGENDA ITEM V. B STAFF ORIGINATOR: Jeff Smyser P & Z MEETING DATE: November 12, 2003 TOPIC: PUBLIC HEARING: Conditional Use Permit For A Church In the Rural Zoning District Eagle Brook Church BACKGROUND Eagle Brook Church proposes to construct a new facility on 90+ acres on 20th Ave., north of 77th St. A church is a conditional use in the Rural zoning district. The required site and building plan review is an administrative review, but the review elements are relevant to the conditional use permit. 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 the last year. That review examined the potential environmental impacts of the project. The design reflected in the current application used information gathered during the EAW process. ANALYSIS Land Use and Zoning Comprehensive Plan: According to the comprehensive plan, the project site is guided for Low Density Sewered Residential land use. In addition to land use categories, the comprehensive plan designates growth areas for pre -2010 and 2010 -2020 time periods. The site is split between stage one and stage two areas. These growth areas pertain to when city utilities (sewer and water) may be made available for the area in question in order to support residential development. Since the project does not comprise residential development and it does not rely on city utilities, the growth areas are /ice r immediately relevant to the church proposal.
