Background. The property at 2824 and 2828 Anthony Lane South is currently zoned Light Industrial and was built in 1978 as a part of the original St. Anthony Office Park. The purpose of the Light Industrial District is to designate areas for, and regulate the development of, light industry. Areas are designated as light industrial due to the proximity of high capacity roadways or rail facilities and existing development and regulated to enhance the compatibility of light industrial uses and uses within the commercial and residential districts. Subsection 152.141 lists the permitted uses,which are light industrial in nature and Subsection 152.142 list permitted conditional uses and these are uses that are only allowed by the approval of City Council of a conditional use permit. Conditional permitted uses for Light Industrial include (G), Assembly, meeting lodge,or convention halls. Staff met with Mr.Tom Baker, KW Commercial,and the applicant in April to discuss the proposed purchase of 2824 and 2828 Anthony Lane South. Mr. Baker advised Staff that his client is the pastor of the Mountain of Fire Miracles Ministry,a Christian denomination based in Houston,TX. The Miracles Ministry group is looking at large buildings like the subject property to use as an assembly and meeting place for their members. Mr. Baker reported that this group plans to use the building mostly on Sundays and some week nights. He indicated that these times of use would not impact the surrounding properties as they are not generally open for business on Sundays or week nights. Staff has contacted the Fire Department to advise staff on any fire suppression needs for a potential occupancy of up to 200 people. This number was determined based on the information provided by Preliminary Furniture Plan and conversations with Mr. Baker. The Fire Department indicated that the building had recently been renovated and as a result, it is sprinkled in the large,open areas but may need to be alarmed in the office areas.
