4.0 BACKGROUND 4.1 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. Such a proposed use is reviewed in the same manner as a conditional use permit. 4.2 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. 4.3 Calvary Church has seen a steady increase programs and has determined that there is a need for an additional meeting space. Further, the Church is looking for space to accommodate meetings evening meetings primarily on Wednesday evenings from 7:00 - 8:30pm. 4.4 The Church owns the property on both sides of the proposal. The existing building, a garage used for storage, would be converted into a small groups classroom/meeting space, which meets Building Code requirements. After two years, the meeting space would be closed, and the accessory building would again be used for church storage or as a car garage. The garage has an inside dimension of 23 feet by 21 feet. 5.0 STAFF COMMENTS/FINDINGS: 5.1 The house (a rambler) was built in 1947. It is situated on a lot that is 87 feet by 229 feet (19,923 s.f.) The lot exceeds the dimensional requirements of the site. There will be no exterior wall expansion of the accessory building/meeting space and hence no additional land coverage of the site. 5.2 The structure would provide temporary meeting space for a 24-month period. No additional paving or parking on site is proposed. 5.3 The proposed interim use of the property for temporary classrooms will have a minimal impact on on-site parking and traffic in the area, since the activity will take place during off-peak hours. 5.4 The proposed interim use of the property for a temporary classroom will not have an adverse impact on the market value of contiguous properties. 5.5 The proposed interim use of the property for a temporary classrooms will not have an impact on parks, streets and other public facilities.
