A WSB &.4s .. wte. Gm. Infrastructure . Engineering ■ Planning . Construction CITY OF ST. ANTHONY VILLAGE MEMORANDUM To: St. Anthony Village Planning Commission From: Jacqueline Corkle, PTP, AICP Interim City Planner 701 Xenia Avenue South Suite 300 Minneapolis, MN 55416 Tel: 763 - 5414800 Fax: 763 - 541 -1700 Date: May 5, 2012 Planning Commission Regular Meeting for May 15, 2012 City Council Regular Meeting for June 12, 2012 WSB Project No. 01626 -630 Request: Request for a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to allow a religious assembly at 3055 Old Highway 8 RECOMMENDATION As the Planning Commission is aware, the St. Anthony Village City Council has authorized a study regarding the regulation of assemblies, meeting lodges and convention halls as conditional uses in the Light Industrial and Commercial Districts. In addition, the City Council has passed a moratorium on the issuance of Conditional Use Permits for Assemblies, Meeting Lodges or Convention Halls within Commercial and Light Industrial Zoning Districts in order to allow the study to be completed. The study has not been finalized as of the writing of this memorandum and, therefore, has not been reviewed by the Planning Commission. Without the final report it would not be prudent for staff or for the Planning Commission to make a recommendation to the City Council at this time. Therefore, at this time, staff recommends the following: The Planning Commission should hold the Public Hearing and receive the Applicant's information on the CUP and allow the public to comment on the proposed CUP. After the public hearing is closed, the Planning Commission may discuss the proposal before them. However, staff recommends that no decision be made tonight pending receipt of the study. Instead, staff recommends that a Special Session of the Planning Commission be held on June 4, 2012 to make a recommendation once the study is completed. Staff anticipates the final report will be provided to the Planning Commission the week of May 14, 2012. The Planning Commission will then review the study and be asked to make recommendations prior to the June 12, 2012 City Council meeting.
