Should religious institutions be treated as "special uses" in a Manufacturing District (M-1 or M-2)?
A "Religious Institution" (small) is defined as a building, having 400 or fewer seats or no larger than 8,000 square feet of total gross floor area, wherein persons regularly assemble for religious worship and which is maintained and controlled by a religious body organized to sustain public worship, together with all accessory buildings and uses customarily with such primary purpose. Includes church, synagogue, temple, mosque or other such place for worship and religious activities.
The "M-1 Limited Manufacturing District" zoning designation is intended to provide for the location of manufacturing, industrial and related uses of a limited nature in size that will not have a harmful environmental effect on surrounding areas.
The "M-2 General Manufacturing District" zoning designation is intended to provide for the location of manufacturing, industrial and related uses in a less restrictive nature than the M-1 Limited Manufacturing District. The district is designed to accommodate industrial activities that have moderate environmental effects but are located in relatively remote areas as to not conflict with residential and business uses.
Comments
Yes. Same as allowing residential use in business districts. Jobs are created by religious institutions.
Only temporary rental of existing property while church seeks more permanent R1 location.
