Overview
Institutional uses are allowed as a Conditional Use Permit in residential zoning districts. In
1994 Solid Rock Church was granted a Conditional Use Permit to operate a school
accommodating grades K-12 with a maximum of 300 students. The current request is to
reduce that to 150 children for the school and add up to 160 children for the daycare.
Analysis
No more than 280 children will be in the church at one time; 150 children for the school and
130 children in the daycare during the school season. Since there is no school during the
summer season, only 160 children using the daycare would occupy the church. With the
requested changes, it will result in a fewer amount of children in the church than the original
CUP allowed. Staff would still recommend that the total number of children allowed be
consistent with the original CUP.
The hours of operation for the daycare will be Monday-Friday 6:00 am - 6:00 pm. There
will be 30 employees at full capacity.
There were no issues raised at the staff site plan review meeting.
Parking and Circulation
With the existing parking for the church, there is adequate parking for the daycare. On
street parking shall not be allowed with this request.
Standards for Issuance of a Conditional Use Permit (Section 30-654)
The issuance of a Conditional Use Permit can be ordered only if the use at the proposed
location:
1. Will not endanger, h!Jure or detrimentallY ciffect the use and e'!iqyment of other propertY in the
immediate viciniry or the public health, sqfery, morals, comfort, convenience or general welfare of the
neighborhood or the ciry.
2. Will be consistent with the comprehensive plan.
3. Will not impede the normal and orderlY development and improvement of surrounding vacant
propertY.
4. Will be seroed adequatelY b and will not adverselY ciffect essential public facilities and services

Planning Commission Actions

discussions. The Planning Commission recommended adding a condition that required the

with the following conditions:

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT NARRATIVE
At the present time I have a daycare, "The Shepherds Inn Daycare, Inc.",
which is licensed through Sherburne County. The daycare is located in the
basement of the Solid Rock Parsonage and I am looking to move it to the
basement of the Solid Rock Church so it can house more children and
become state licensed.
The Church has a conditional use permit for 300 possible children for the
Solid Rock Christian Academy. We are looking to change that to 150
children for the Academy, and 130 children during the school season and
160 children during the summer season for the Daycare. This would meet
the requirements according to State guidelines for these 2 identities for
spacmg.
The hours of operation for the Daycare would be from 6:00a.m. - 6:00p.m.
The Daycare would have approximately 30 employees when in full capacity.
The building does meet the design standards to house a daycare and also the
school combined. Parking is well adequate for the Academy and the
daycare.
