Council Member Kevin Riley inquires about the Full Gospel Mission Church of God in Christ's current location and future plans. Richard Lobel, the land use attorney, explains the church's current small space and the proposed move to a larger facility.
- Current church operates in a small two-story building across 120 Third Avenue
- Proposed new space would be about 10,000 square feet, several times larger than the current building
- The church's current property would also be rezoned but has no immediate development plans

Thank you, Richard.

I just have a few questions and I'm gonna turn over to speaker Adams.

Where's the church operating right now and are there any future plans for the existing church building after it relocates to the new building?

So chair, the church currently operates in a small two story building across 120 Third Avenue and it's it's rather small space, allows for, you know, small church gatherings, but doesn't really allow for utilization of the space in terms of the church's program and the outreach they do.

So the church, as proposed, would move into this space which now amounts to roughly 10,000 square feet, which is several times the size of the current building in which it's located.

Their current property which they own would also be rezoned under the proposal which would at this time be as of right under the R6A, but there aren't any current development plans for that.
0:14:54
They just would own that space as well.
