The proposed language stipulates conformance with six listed conditions, in <br /> addition to the general special use permit conditions listed in Section 8-130. Any user <br /> attempting to operate out of a church (or library, museum, college or school)under this <br /> ordinance would be required to appear before the Planning Commission and City Council <br /> for review and approval of a Special Use Permit. As noted in condition#6, both the <br /> property owner and business owner are required to be co-applicants. <br /> Preparation of this ordinance amendment arose out of a local caterer who attempted to get <br /> a license to operate at Atonement Lutheran Church, which is located on the southwest <br /> corner of Silver Lake Road and Rice Creek Road. The Zoning Ordinance does not allow <br /> such a commercial use in a property that is zoned for multi-family residential. The <br /> attached amendment has been drafted after a clearer understanding of the extent of his <br /> proposed use of the church kitchen and general Council support. The proposed language <br /> only allows preparation of food and nothing more. Applicants wouldn't be permitted <br /> overnight parking, signage, outside storage, etc. <br /> Schiferl inquired how events with food are handled by City. Gundlach replied that an event with <br /> food that is run by a church for their members is not required to obtain a license for the food <br /> C:ADocuments and Settings\jgoepcALocal Settings\Temporary Internet Files\O1 K28\04-18-2006 MINUTFS.doc <br />
