The Property is currently owned by ET Arden Hills LLC and <br />is developed with a two-story office building and associated parking lot. The office building is <br />no longer in use. The Subject Property includes two access points off of Red Fox Road. The <br />property is zoned I-FLEX, which does not permit houses of worship, or other assembly uses. <br /> <br />At a special work session on March 22, 2021, the Council discussed the Applicant’s proposal to <br />develop a House of Worship in the I-FLEX District. Following the discussion, the City Council <br />directed staff to review and propose a zoning code amendment to allow Houses of Worship in <br />the I-FLEX District as a Conditional Use. The amendment will impact Zoning Code Section <br />1320.05 – Land Use Chart.
