Special Use Permit – Power of Faith Ministries Planning Commission Report; 11-20-18 Page 4 (cont.) groups and bible studies and provide an important aspect in the fabric of American communities - as well as the constitutional right of freedom of religion. Our special use as a church will not impair any property values within the neighborhood as the property we propose to lease is already zoned B-1 Office use. Our occupancy of the property will actually increase the value of the existing office building in that it will create additional income for the owner and building, and a strong premise in the evaluation of commercial real estate is factored on cash flow. More cash flow equates to higher market value's in regards to commercial real estate. Our use and occupancy will actually contribute towards a higher market value for the Interstate Office Plaza, and we don't perceive any reason that we would have an effect on any adjacent properties. The adjacent properties to the Interstate Office Plaza are currently fully developed and consist of commercial use on two sides (East and West) Highway 694 is to the south, and two residential properties exist to the North. The establishment of a church use will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of the surrounding properties as the area is fully developed already. The building is served with all necessary utilities, access roads, drainage, egress and access points, parking and restroom facilities that are adequate for occupancy. The suite provides 2 egress/ accesses, the property provides 4 restrooms, 2 of which are located within our suite and are wheelchair accessible. There is one handicap parking stall and approximately 54 parking spaces on site. Using a parking parameter of 3 to 1 ratio our parking needs are approximately 16-18 parking spaces which the building amply provides. Due to the fact we have hours of operation that do not coincide with the other office users the on-site parking requirements for our use will be more than adequate. To our knowledge our use of office space and occupancy of the building conforms to the applicable regulations in a B-1 district. The other tenants currently located in the Building are American Family Insurance - 3 Agencies the Rick Duevel Agency, Adam Mohr Agency and Wayne Moss Agency. We need to redress the question of square footage for each of the tenants to the property owner but we are assuming the insurance agencies are on the second floor of the building and consist of approximately 3600 SF combined. The main floor tenants consist of Clear Choice Restoration, Funded.com, and Innsbruck Wellness Group. We are estimating that each of these tenants occupies suites in the 1000-1200 SF range. The Innsbruck Wellness Group is an entity with a use similar to the church in that it provides counseling and support groups for adults. The church proposes to use 3600 SF which is located in the lower level of the facility. As mentioned previously there are approximately 54 parking spaces on site available - and the estimated number of stalls the church would use on average would be 16 to 20 as most of our attendees are families and carpool. We expect it would be typical to have all 54 spaces available for the church use in the evenings and on Sunday as the hours of operation of the other tenants located in the building are Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. There is no formal parking agreement in place between the tenants and with the non-business hours use on the part of the church, no shortage of parking capabilities is expected.
