Sunrise Staff Report December 8, 1999 Page 5 Adverse Affects Criteria: Section 1125.01, Subd. le requires that the Planning and Zoning Commission consider possible adverse affects of the proposed use, or in this case, the existing use and expansion thereof. The following is the list of factors to be considered, along with a narrative response: (1) Relationship to Municipal Comprehensive Plan. (2) The geographical area involved (3) Whether such use will tend to or actually depreciate the area in which it is proposed (4) The character of the surrounding area. (5) The demonstrated need for such use. Staff feels that the impacts of this proposed use are minimal, considering its 42-year history of operation without incident or complaint. The use is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan which designates this area as Institutional. It is bounded by public streets on three sides, medium and high density residential on its fourth side, properties which are separated by the Church's accessory buildings and uses as well as extensive wetlands and wooded uplands. It is improbable that the expansion of the Church would have any depreciatory effect on these abutting properties. The need for the Church is clearly demonstrated from its continued presence at this location. Staff feels that the all of the specific conditional use permit requirements, all of the general conditional use permit requirements and the adverse affects criteria are satisfied and that the expansion of this use would be an overall benefit to the Church, its congregation, and the community in general.

Because no plans are being made to repave the parking lot,staff recommends that this be treated as a non- conformity to be corrected if possible at some point in the future, as allowed in Section 1104.01, Subd. 4c(4).
