STAFF REPORT To: Chair and Planning Commissioners From: Kim Moore-Sykes, Assistant City Manager �N6 Date: September 20,2011 Subject: 2824-2828 Anthony Lane South;LI CUP for Mountain of Fire Miracles Ministry Requested Action: Concept Review Date Application Received: August 17, 2011 Property Address: 2824- 2828 Anthony Lane Zoning District: Light Industrial 60-Day Expires: October 17,2011 Waiver Letter Required: Yes Yes Date Sent: No Future Action: Public Hearing Background. Staff met with Mr. Tom Baker,KW Commercial, and the applicant in April to discuss the proposed purchase of 2428 and 2828 Anthony Lane South and to use it as an assembly and meeting place for their members. Mr. Baker advised Staff that his client is the pastor of the Mountain of Fire Miracles Ministry,a Christian denomination based in Houston,TX. Mr. Baker and his client were advised by Staff of the need for a conditional use permit in order to use a property in the Light Industrial Zoning District as an assembly place. It was then that Staff discovered that as the result of the re-codification process,a portion of Section 152.142 PERMITTED CONDITIONAL USES that included (G) Assembly,meeting lodge or convention halls,was inadvertently removed and not published. This recodified Code was subsequently adopted by City Council without that language. When Staff discussed the issue with the City Attorney,he advised that since the Council had unintentionally adopted the recodified version without(G), the City Council would have to amend 152.142 to replace the missing language. The City Council did replace the omitted language and re-adopted the Code. Mr. Baker was then advised by the Staff to attend a concept review for their proposal. Staff has contacted the Fire Department to advise staff on any fire suppression needs for a potential occupancy of 200-400 people. This number was determined based on the information provided by Preliminary Furniture Plan. Parking may also have to be addressed. Staff has received calls from one of the tenants at 2428-2828 Anthony Lane South for status updates on the disposition of this application. The caller,who works for the University of Minnesota,has requested that Staff keep them updated on the status because if the City approves the Mountain of Fire Miracles Ministry's application and the sale goes through,they will be required by law to find another place to rent.
