Ms. Wenger said the property is a residential home owned by the Unitarian church. The commission approved a lot split/consolidation to join the rear yard of the home with the church parcel. The church proposes sharing their parking lot as the residential site may not provide adequate parking. Occupancy should be used to determine necessary parlcing. A legal document defining the commitment to share the parlcing lot has been requested. Mr. McReynolds said he received a document pertaining to parlcing, however the agreement did not cover hours, how often or the number of spaces available for use. He listed the information which would be required to determine zoning and building code compliance. The change of use will require considerations for egress, emergency lighting, exists and parlcing. Classes, seminars, retreats and children's programs are educational uses which may cause additional requirements. Mr. O'Malley suggested additional information be supplied so the building official to assess compliance with parking and other development regulations. Mr. Hungerford, attorney for the church, said they were still in the process of negotiating a lease with the tenants and that all details had not been worlced out. He believes there are ten parlcing spaces existing. Mr. Parry asked if the site had enough rear yard to provide additional parking. If a lease expired, what assurances would the city have that the next tenant would have access to the church parlcing. He said a cross access easement would ensure access. Mr. Hungerford said the parlcing agreement would expire with the lease. Mr. Bohlmann felt there were too many questions for the commission to act. Mr. Malone said he understood the group was looking for a 1-3 year lease agreement. He aslced if the conditional use perinit could be granted for the term of the lease agreement. Mr. O'Malley said he would research the matter. Ms. Wenger felt tying the conditional use permit to the lease term made sense if the house was ever sold in the future. Mr. Bohlmami asked if signage would be installed and Mr. Hungerford said it was possible. Mr. McReynolds asked for a submittal to include a detailed floor plan of the home including individual room sizes, points of ingress/egress, existing parking, a list of which rooms within the home will be used and its puipose, hours of operation and projected occupancy of the proposed use. Mr. Hungerford said other than Sunday services they have group activities on other nights, so exact times have not been finalized. Mr. O'Malley suggested the commission table the matter. Mr. Parry agreed as the map lacked pertinent details required for review of the request. Ms. Meredith moved, seconded by Mr. Bohlmann, to table CMS12-22 Olmsted Unitarian Universalist Church of 5072 Porter Road, which passed 7-0.
