AGENDA ITEM NO.3: Public hearing to consider a conditional use permit for the expansion of the Holy Cross Lutheran Church located at 1200 Fo:dire Drive. (97-703) Senior Planner McCully presented the staff report and stated that the church was constructed before the site was within the city limits. The proposal is to expand the facility from 6087 square feet to 9887 square feet and to.bring the parking lot up to code. Phase I of the' expansion will include the addition of 3800 square feet,. the upgrade of 102 parking spaces, and the use of the existing gravel drive for a maximum of one year. The existing gravel drive will also be required to be upgraded as afire lane. Phase IT will include the construction of 40 additional parking spaces on either side of the drive. The easterly portion of the site is reserved for future expansion that will need to return to the Commission for review. Phase I parking will exceed the ordinance parking requirement by 69 spaces. The site plan as presented 'to the Commission was approved in 1995. Conditional use permits expire after a year (with one.possible extension of6'months) if no actiVity is undertaken. The reason for such expiration dates is to ensur~that future sites meet the requirements.that are in place at the time of construction. The only additional requirement is that the applicant must meet the paving requirements for the fire lane. Staff recommended that if the Planning and Zoning Commission approves the expansiol1, the PRC comment relating.to the paving standards be a condition of approval. Commissioner Gribou opened the public hearing. Representative of the applicant Mike Hester approached the Commission and offered to ansfer any questions pertaining to the conditional use permit.
