REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION DATE: 05-22-95 ITEM NO.: G-4 Department Approval: J;f~m~ Item Description: Manager Reviewed: ~ Agenda Section: Hearing A.H. LienINorth Heights Lutheran Church request for a interim use permit at 2701 Rice Street. Background 1. The North Heights Church was organized in 1947 and has been located in the northeast corner of County Road C and Rice Street. The church purchased the school building tram the School District in 1981 and has been using the facility for school and other church programs. The property is zoned R-I Single Family and is designated for both School and Church on the City's Comprehensive Land Use Guide Plan. Development Review 1. North Heights Church is currently raising funds to expand their Arden Hills facilities. Upon completion of this expansion, most of the administration and program office now housed in the school building in Roseville, will be moved to Arden Hills. In the interim, to meet the needs of the school, two classrooms that are currently used for staff offices need to be returned to classrooms by the Fall of 1995. To house the displaced staff offices until the new Arden Hills facility is completed, North Heights Church is requesting an interim use permit to place two temporary 24' x 70' modular office spaces on the site. 2. Sections 13.400 through 13. 420 state that the City Council may authorize an interim use of property. These interim uses might not be consistent with the land uses designated on the adopted land use plan and they might also fail to meet all the zoning standards established for the district in which it is located. The Council may attach conditions to the interim use permits and will establish a specific date or event that will terminate the use of the property. The Council should also determine that the approval of the interim use would not result in adverse affects on public health, safety, and welfare and that it will not impose additional costs on the public if it is necessary for the public to take the property in the future. Finally, the code states that applications for interim use permits shall be processed in the same manner as special use permits. 3. As the. site plan indicates, the proposed location for the temporary office space is located in a courtyard area near the school building. The North Heights Church people have indicated that the buildings will be separated tram the school building by at least 15 feet. Building inspection staff and the Fire Marshal have reviewed this location and have indicated that it meets setback code requirements. The Engineering Department staffhave reviewed this proposed interim use and has indicated that the plans submitted to the City do not address drainage and it is their recommendation that materials submitted at the time ofbuilcling permit application indicate how drainage will work in this courtyard.
