Staff counted 70 <br />parking spaces on the subject property from a site plan that was submitted by the applicants as part of their <br />application submission. <br />The City's zoning code for parking (152.178(5) (g)) for Light Industrial District requires 1 parking space for <br />every 1,000 SF of building floor area, which is 14 spaces. Staff reviewed the code for parking required for <br />similar uses, which are churches and clubs. The parking requirement for these uses is the total designated <br />seating capacity of the structure divided by 2.5. The seating capacity as noted on the site plan is 210 and <br />doing the computation gives the site the minimum of 84 parking spaces; short by 14 parking spaces. Mr. <br />Baker stated that the membership would never be more than 175 members, stating that 70 parking spaces <br />are adequate. <br />The Planning Commission suggested that the pastor meet with neighboring properties to secure an <br />agreement to be able to use adjacent parking areas as overflow. <br />Staff has received calls from one of the tenants at 2824 - 2828 Anthony Lane South for status updates on the <br />disposition of this application. The caller, who works for the University of Minnesota, has requested that <br />Staff keep them updated on the status because if the City approves the Mountain of Fire Miracles Ministry's <br />application and the sale goes through, they will be required by law to find another place to rent. <br />A neighboring property owner called to say he is concerned that the proposed buyer will not have enough <br />parking for their congregation. <br />Attachments. <br />• Application <br />• Written Statement from Pastor Nnaemeka C.
