• We believe the above findings and criteria are satisfied. The church will make no alterations to the existing building. No activity will occur outside the building that would affect the neighboring residences. Parking by church members will not be any different than parking by City employees or others at the building. Therefore, the new use does not warrant any new screening or landscaping. The parking ordinance requires 1 space per 4 seats based on design capacity. The "church" has a estimated capacity of approximately 200 seats: 100 in the old Council Chambers and another 100 in the Senior Center area. This would equate to 50 parking spaces. The parking areas in the front and east side of the building totals about 60 parking spaces. There could be another 20 on the west side of the building. Adequate parking is available on the site. At this time the church has a congregation of approximately 50 members. We will monitor the parking situation and if it becomes a problem, we can address it in the future. Conditions of Approval Staff recommends approval of this conditional use permit based on the listed findings and criteria. The following conditions should apply: 1. Shiloh Church shall enter into a facility use agreement with the Lino Lakes Seniors subject to the Seniors' lease with the City. 2. Adequate parking must continue to be available. Parking shall be reviewed annually by City Staff to assure adequate capacity for continued use of the facility by the Church. If parking becomes inadequate due to growth in church membership, the City may require the church to relocate. The City shall establish a reasonable amount of time for the church to do so. 3. The church will be allowed a temporary sign, to be placed no more than one hour prior to events and removed one hour following events. The sign size and other characteristics shall meet with the requirements of the City's Sign Ordinance (no flashing beacons). A sign permit is required. OPTIONS 1.
