The total area of the expansion planned is 7,477 square feet for a total build out area of 20,464 after project completion. There will be a new covered entryway that connects to a new drop-off point adjacent to the parking lot, an expansion and reorientation of the sanctuary to increase seating capacity to 368 from the existing 275. There will be an expansion to accommodate additional space for Sunday school services. A 1111 kitchen area will be added along with some multi-purpose space, conference rooms, and office space for the Pastor and Church staff. There will not be an increase in services provided by the facility other than being able to accommodate more members in the sanctuary at a single service, thus the additional number of parking stalls required by this expansion will be limited to the increased seating capacity of the sanctuary. Parking: As indicated above, the seating capacity of the sanctuary is increasing by nearly 100 seats, from 275 to 368. Using the required ratio of 1 space per 4 seats, 92 stalls would need to be provided. There are currently 98 stalls which can be utilized which would then be adequate to accommodate the expansion. The plans, however, show a possibility of an additional 48 seats in temporary overflow seating. Church officials do not foresee a need to use these spaces except only rare occasion and as such is requesting that parking spaces not be required for the temporary seating. Because of their temporary nature, staff would consent to this request if the Planning Commission were to agree. If the Planning Commission felt otherwise, the plans could be revised to show"Future Proof of Parking" which could be built if it becomes clear that additional spaces are required. 1The parking lot adjacent to Long Lake Road was constructed only two feet from the property line. 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). 2 The number of parking stalls required increases to 104 when considering the anticipated future 410 overflow seating. Because 98 stalls exist,six additional stalls will need to be shown on the site plan as "Future Proof of Parking."
