Applicable Regulations In approving a Conditional Use Permit, the council may impose such specific conditions with regard to the development or operation of the proposed use as it considers necessary to satisfy the seven standards set forth in Section 30-654 and the requirements contained in this article and to promote compatibility with and minimize any potentially adverse effects upon adjacent properties, the neighborhood or the city. The issuance of a Conditional Use Permit can be ordered only if the use at the proposed location: iVill not endanger, injure or detrimentally affect the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity or the public health, safety, morals, comfort, convenience orgeneral n elfare of the neighborhood or the city. The church has operated on this site for a number of years and the city has not received any complaints regarding the use. The use will not endanger, injure or detrimentally affect the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity or the public health, safety, morals, comfort, convenience, or general welfare of the neighborhood or the city. Staff does not see a need to impose specific conditions to satisfy this standard. 2. mill be consistent with the comprehensive plan. The property is guided for public and semi-public uses which includes local government uses, municipal facilities, community service providers, schools, and places of worship and assembly such as City Hall, fire stations, churches, and public schools. Coordination with schools and service providers is key to ensure these essential facilities have capacity and/or are located in areas that can support growth and development as it occurs. The use will be consistent with the comprehensive plan. Staff does not see a need to impose specific conditions to satisfy this standard. 3. mill not impede the normal and orderjdezelopment and improvement of surrounding vacant property. The lot to the north was recently platted (Tranquil Meadows) and there is a 40-acre vacant parcel directly southwest of the subject parcel.

Section 78-97 (d) states: All buildings constructed on property to which a public sewer is available at the time a certificate of occupancy is issued for the building shall be required to connect to the public sewer prior to occupancy. Sanitary services are available in the right-of-way of 190"' Avenue in the plat of Tranquil Meadows. The structure will be required to connect to the sanitary system located in the 190"' Avenue right-of-way. Once connected to city services, the use will be served adequately by and will not adversely affect essential public facilities and services including streets, police and fire protection, drainage, refuse disposal, water and sewer systems, parks and schools; and will not, in particular, create traffic congestion or interference with traffic on adjacent and neighboring public thoroughfares.

The use will not involve uses, activities, processes, materials, equipment and conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any persons or property because of excessive traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare, odors, dust, or vibrations. Staff does not see a need to impose specific conditions to satisfy this standard. 6. mill not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural, scenic or historic feature of major importance.

What is being proposed? Emmanuel Christian Center is proposing to expand its Elk River campus by adding expanded classrooms and childcare facilities, as well as additional gathering and community space, and increased security functions, improved flow, and a more open and welcoming entry while maintaining the familiar character of the church, especially from the street side, and paving the way for future growth. The addition will expand classroom space to 2,000 square feet, and nursery space to 800 square feet, expanding the existing church's child -focused programming to 2800 square feet total. At an estimation of 35 square feet per child, the new addition will be able to accommodate 80 kids simultaneously. The nursery and classroom expansion is also designed to both improve the flow of traffic through the building, and increase the security, to provide a safe and contained space for the children of the church community. The expansion will also add a `Great Room' flexible community space that will be used for various church events, supplemental services, and as expanded child space, if more space for children is needed, or for larger child -focused group events. The addition to the church will also expand the lobby area, opening up the existing lobby to create a more inviting space, improving the entry experience, and increasing the potential for welcoming, gathering, and programming in this vital space. The bathroom facilities will be expanded and relocated to better comply with modern standards, separate the children's facilities from the adults, and accommodate the growing church community. Facilities such as a nursing mothers' room, and a dedicated volunteer room will also be added to create more comfortable spaces for those groups. This modest expansion to the church, will have a great impact on the church's ability to accommodate the growth of their community, as well as provide modern services and features to make the church a more comfortable and inviting space for all. How is the request consistent with City of Elk River Comprehensive Plan? The expansion of Emmanuel Christian Center's Elk River campus does not aim to alter the existing use of the site but rather to expand the campus' capabilities to offer services already offered by the church that are outgrowing the current facility's limited footprint. The goal is to accomplish this with minimal impact or disruption to surrounding communities. Firm Ground Architects 275 Market Street, Suite 368 Minneapolis, Minnesota 55405 612.819.1835 info@firmgroundae.com www.firmgroundae.com rLkFIRM GR©UND architecture I planning I interior design We believe that the church's overall goals of improving the security and quality of community spaces within the Elk River campus are congruent with the city's goals as outlined in the Comprehensive Plan. The church is currently and will continue to be a place of great importance, for cultural, community, and religious growth for people of all ages, and the proposed addition will only seek to reinforce its important place within the community of Elk River. Hours of Operation The church is open for business hours from 9AM to 2PM on weekdays, and for church service Wednesday nights, and Sunday mornings, with services occurring at 9 AM and 11 AM. Number of Employees There are 5 employees that work in the church. Number of parking stalls, existing and additional Existing parking stalls: 108 with 4 accessible Proposed restriping adds 1 accessible space for a total of 109 with 5 accessible. Is there proposed screening of the site? The site as it currently exists is already well screened from surroundings, and the additions proposed to the building will not necessitate additional screening. Some additional planting is proposed on the front of the building to beautify the exterior especially at the addition and entry canopy. Proposed building materials The building addition will match the material character of the existing building as closely as possible, including the continuation of the lap siding and water table stone veneer that defines the front of the building currently, as well as asphalt roof shingles to match the existing. Signage — (at time of installation, a separate permit is required for each sign) At this time, the only alteration proposed for signage is the reuse of the Emmanuel logo placed currently on the front side of the existing carriage house (to be demolished), which will be reused at the front of the drive -up canopy. No other additional signage is planned at this time. Is there outdoor storage? No alterations or additions of outdoor storage are proposed at this time.
