_____________________________________________________________________________________________ City of Arden Hills Planning Commission Meeting for June 9, 2021 P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2021\21-013 – Grove Church - CUP Page 6 of 10 G. Requirements for Parking, Loading, and Circulation – Section 1325.06 – Meets Requirements Parking requirements for places of worship require 1 space for every 3 seats. The applicant has indicated the main auditorium will seat up to 1,000, while the youth auditorium will seat up to 112. Therefore, this use requires a total of 371 parking spaces. There are currently 363 parking spaces on the site. The applicant is proposing to remove 2 spaces to accommodate the new front entry, and add 19 new spaces at the rear of the buildings, to provide a total of 380 parking spaces. The applicant has indicated the 2nd floor church space will be used in the future for a variety of purposes, including offices, midweek meeting space, classrooms, and similar office functions. No specific uses have been provided for the leased space. The Zoning Ordinance allows joint parking facilities if it can be demonstrated that there will be no substantial conflict in the principal operating hours of the uses to be served. It is unlikely the church use and the office uses would overlap or conflict with one another, so the 380 spaces provided should serve the needs of the facility. H. Trash Enclosure – Meets Requirements The applicant is proposing to maintain the existing dumpster on the north side of the building. 2. Sign Code – Chapter 12 This property is located in Sign District 7. This district allows freestanding signs 8’ in height and up to 25 square feet in area and wall signs not to exceed 45 square feet. The sign plans are shown on Attachment I. Freestanding Signs – Meets Requirements The applicant is proposing to utilize the existing monument sign on the south side of the property at the east driveway by changing the sign face.
