The application was received on 17 June 19, 2008; the 60-day expiration date is August 20, 2008. 18 19 Assistant City Manager Moore-Sykes stated Mr. Julius Chu,Twin Cities Christian Assembly 20 (TCCA), contacted staff when he was advised by the Fire Department that he needed to contact 21 City staff before they would sign off on Mr. Chu's request for an occupancy permit. He was told 22 that the TCCA may not be in compliance with the,City's Zoning Ordinance as it is not a use 23 listed as a permitted use in the commercial zoning district. Upon contacting City staff, Mr. Chu 24 was advised that locating TCCA in the Northgate Business Center requires a conditional use 25 permitted use(1635.03) (c). Mr. Chu was also informed about the application and public hearing 26 processes. He attended a concept review at the June 17, 2008 Planning Commission meeting to 27 present information on the TCCA organization and to discuss the need for a conditional use 28 permit. Assistant City Manager Moore-Sykes provided an overview of the criteria review and 29 analysis as outlined in the staff report. She advised in addition to the criteria, the Planning 30 Commission also discussed with Mr. Chu the TCCA's parking requirements and if the Northgate 31 site offered sufficient parking. Mr. Chu had responded that the Assembly's main hours of 32 operation are Wednesday and Friday evenings and Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. These 33 times are off times for the other businesses and organizations located at Northgate Business 34 Center. Mr. Chu added that while he estimates that there are between 50—60 parking spaces 35 available, the TCCA group uses about 20 parking spaces and there are no plans to expand the 36 church. 37 38 Assistant City Manager Moore-Sykes stated staff has received no phone calls regarding this 39 group's proposed use of the property. The Police Department has advised the Planning Staff that 40 they have not received any complaint calls regarding the TCCA. 41 42 Mr. Chu, applicant, addressed the Planning Commission and stated Twin Cities Christian 43 Assembly is very grateful to be here again about the use of their church to serve the community. 44 They like the City of St. Anthony. It is a nice peaceful community. Mr. Chu presented an aerial 45 photograph of the proposed site plan. He stated the current location has 2,000 square feet that can 46 be used. If they need some extra space in the future he believes there are some rooms available. Planning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes June 17, 2008 Page 3 1 Upon approval of the conditional use permit they would consider purchasing, rather than 2 continuing to rent. 3 4 Commissioner Crone inquired about the maximum occupancy number for the Assembly 5 building. 6 7 Mr. Chu replied he is not certain of the actual number. However, they have been working with a 8 professional consultant and the requirements fit with the square footage of the building. He noted 9 that approval is subject to the Fire Marshal's recommendation. 10 11 Chair Stromgren closed the public hearing at 7:19 p.m. 12 13 Commissioner Jensen noted that the application references the condo number and the conditional 14 use permit would run with this particular condo number until the time that it would expire for 15 lack of use. Staff would have latitude on whether to amend the conditional use permit or add an 16 additional address for any future requests on additional space. 17 18 Assistant City Manager Moore-Sykes indicated future action would depend on what the owners 19 or occupants of the space ultimately decide to do. 20 21 Motion by Commissioner Jensen, second by Commissioner Goodwin, to recommend that the 22 City Council approve the conditional use permit request for Condo No. 0535, Northgate Office, 23 2626 Highway No. 88, #110, St. Anthony, MN 55418. 24 25 Commissioner Jensen pointed out that the conditional use permit is consistent with the 26 parameters of the zoning code. 27 28 Chair Stromgren offered a friendly amendment to include the condition that the conditional use 29 permit is subject to approval and certification of the occupancy permit by the Fire Marshal and 30 Building Official. 31 32 Motion adopted unanimously. 33 34 Chair Stromgren indicated the conditional use permit will be included on the agenda of the July 35 22, 2008 City Council meeting. 36 37 VIII.
