(PF3237) 1.0 REQUESTED ACTION 1.1 Family Academy Charter School has submitted an application for an Interim Use Permit to allow a temporary modular building (eight classrooms) in the east parking lot of Advent Lutheran Church, 3000 Hamline Avenue for a period of three years. 2.0 BACKGROUND 2.1 Section 1012.09A states: the City Council may authorize an interim use permit of property. Interim use may not be consistent with the land uses designated on the adopted Land Use Plan. They may also fail to meet all of the zoning standards established for the district within which it is located. 2.2 Section 1012.09B states: the City Council may attach conditions to interim use permits. In reviewing interim use permit applications, the City will establish a specific date or event that will terminate the use on the property. The Council will also determine that the approval of the interim use would not result in adverse effects on the public health, safety and general 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. 2.3 For the past year Family Academy Charter School has been searching for a larger space to operate their Kindergarten through Grade 8 school. Recently Family Academy struck and agreement with Advent Lutheran Church to rent space within the church complex. However, the needs of Family Academy are slightly greater than the space they are renting and require an eight classroom modular structure. 2.4 Advent Lutheran Church is currently home to the Metro Music School and the YamahalSuzuki Music Schools. 2.5 Advent Lutheran Church has an approximate sanctuary seating capacity of 500 seats. This size of an assembly area has a parking requirement of 143 off-street parking spaces. The existing parking lots provide approximately 200 off-street parking spaces.
