Rd. J.) just west of Woodridge Drive. The Church has purchased a garage from the old Arsenal Site in Arden Hills and would like to move it onto their property for storage purposes. The garage would be located just north of the existing building as shown on the enclosed site plan within the setback requirements of the District. The Church property is Zoned R -1X Single Family Executive and churches are allowed by conditional use permit. According to the Zoning Ordinance, the proposed garage would be considered a permitted accessory use "incidental and customary to the uses permitted..." and the moving in of a building would require this site plan review.
