1. REQUEST FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
APPLICANT: Immanuel Temple Church
LOCATION: 792 East Montrose Street
REQUEST: A request for a Conditional Use Permit to allow the operation of a church located in
the R-3 ResidentiaUProfessional District.
Mr. Harker explained that the applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit to convert a
former commercial building located at 792 East Montrose Street to a church. The building was
formerly utilized as a community tavern serving patrons of the general area. However, due to a
fire at the premises, the business was closed and the structure has been standing vacant for an
extended period of years. The applicant now wishes to repair the previous damage and convert
the building to a permanent church facility.
Mr. Harker further explained that the applicant will also be requesting the City Council to permit
grass parking for the church. The driveway area and the handicapped parking facility are
indicated to have a paved surface, only the actual parking stalls are to remain grass. In addition,
the applicant has received written authorization from the adjacent property owner to allow
overflow parking upon any unforseen necessity. The parking proposed at the site is more than
adequate for present functions and activities of the congregation .
The requested Conditional Use Permit action would not be contrary to any directives of the
adopted comprehensive plan or zoning district classifications. Essentially, the proposed request
would assist in comprehensive plan compliance by furthering directive for redevelopment
activities to occur in this area of the City.
Based upon compliance with comprehensive planning and zoning district directives for the area
staff recommends approval of the Conditional Use permit subject to the following conditions:
The conditions as set forth in the Conditional Use Permit shall be legally binding upon any
heirs, assigns andlor successors in title or interest.
