h .. i'-. ■' ■: ■' i ' .ii-rw Q Zoning File #1637 April 12, 1991 Page 3 of 4 The aspect of the temporary nature of the request may shed another light on the application and may simply be resolved by an agreement for a specified period of time between both applicants and the City. This again will be another issue the City Attorney will be asked to address. Please note the applicants propose no physical changes. Except for the signage there will be no change in physical appearance of the facility. Note none of the meetings or conferences proposed by the Freshwater Foundation will exceed the 300 persons occupancy limit but even if this were to occur, such a meeting would be allowed under a large assembly permit. This would be the responsibility of the owners to monitor. Review Exhibit E, detailed information on the Freshwater Foundation's proposed use of the facility. Except for the isr< c’ non-profit versus profit-making, the application appears s?:-::a';iVV*orward and consistent with all other standards of zoning ur ^ .. ‘ he RR-lB-1 zoning district. If this issue cannot be resolvea i our meeting of April 15th, applicant may be given the opportunity to separate the church use from the conference center use as the addendum for the Woodridge Church notes the immediate need to occupy the facility. ^ Pending resolve of the ownership matter, do' Planning Commission members have any other concerns that should be addressed? ’ Options of Action Conditional use permit for church use - If members concur that church conditional use permit can be separated from the comprehensive application submitted by Spring Hill Land Company, members may grant a conditional use permit. ; ' As for the issue of the type of ownership of the conference center, the following issues must be resolved by the Planning Commission before they can formally act; 1.If non-profit is determined to be a performance standard for the permitted use conference center, then we need only address the need for a variance. 2.If non-profit organization is considered part of the permitted use, then to consider a variance would be in violation of State and local codes. Would you approve a zoning amendment that would allow a profit-making conference center use? If it is within the City's authority would members recommend a temporary agreement for a limited period of time for the applicants/owners based on the uniqueness of the facility and the financial investment (physical improvements) that exist on this property. 1 .J
