Council Meeting Minutes October 27, 1992 Page 6 I Council Business, continued Rebelein asked how would the proposed amendments affect an application for a therapeutic massage business, Mattila said this is handled under a separate section of the City Code under licenses. Rebelein noted that this is a legitimate service, and asked if it would be a special use. LeFevere said the amendments' intent is to clarify and provide procedures for handling of certain use criterias, The special use amendment does not attempt to list all possible special uses. but its sole purpose is to adhere to a constitutional problem where churches were not listed as special uses, In the Planning Commission's initial consideration of the Church Upon the Rock application, their objection was the placement of a large church and day care center in a small commercial area which would create isolated commercial pockets. This is a legitimate reason for excluding the use from the district, However, churches have additional protection under the Constitution. LeFevere went through the ordinance to find other permitted uses which would have the same effect on commercial activities as churches, Those permitted uses were deleted from the permitted use list and put in the special use section, The new uses in the special use section include churches and schools, however, there may be other uses permitted which are not listed, such as therapeutic massage. I Benke instructed staff to follow up on the therapeutic massage issue.
