The Astoria Planning Commission reversed their earlier “tentative” denial decision and approved the Conditional Use Permit for our new multi-purpose building. The decision can be appealed to the City Council, but the support of the Planning Commission is beneficial. An appeal by the neighbors to City Council would be heard in October. The proposed location of the building has been moved to the northeast side of our property and away from the neighboring house after working with the city on potential relocation of an existing sewer line. Be in prayer for this project and the neighbors; that they will embrace the new location that does not impact views as well as the tremendous benefit this building will have on the community as a whole, especially the youth.
Below are new renderings of proposed building after relocating on the property.
