Um, which is regarding a interim use permit for the uh River Valley Church located at eight seventy-five Blue Genshin Road.

Um the applicant is seeking approval of an interim use permit to allow church in a BP business park district for a five-year term.

Mr.

Ellis, who I don't believe I've seen her tonight here, uh, or Ms.

Doziak are gonna be making the presentation.

That is me.

Thank you, Mr.

Chair, members of the commission.

Uh, this request is by River Valley Church to allow a church in a business park zoning district.

The property is located at 875 Blue Genshin Road.

And the proposed term for the interim use is five years.

Uh, the property is zone business park, which is intended for low-intensity office, light industrial, and supporting commercial uses.

Churches are not an allowed use in the business park zoning district.

The interim use permit may allow a use that's not otherwise specified within a zoning district where it is uh the use and its impacts generally appear compatible with the surrounding area.

The church has operated at this location since 2011 via an interim use permit.

Uh the church did seek to relocate in 2024, but that did not pan out, and the church is now proposing to renew the interim use permit at this location.

The site was initially developed in 1997.

No site modifications are proposed with this uh application.

The church use is primarily on Sunday mornings and Wednesday evenings, and prior operation of this church in this location has had no apparent parking or other operational issues.

A review of the site did reveal that many trees and other landscaping that were installed with the initial development are now missing, and the site landscaping should be restored.

In summary, the applicant requ uh request an interim use permit to allow a church in a business park zoning district.
