[Vision2020] NSA illegal?

[Tom Hansen]

Huh??

Apparently there is an abundance of smoke and mirrors at Anselm House.

We could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are
dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors....but they all
exist very nicely in the same box.

Phil:
Moscow City Code section 4-11-2 provides that a "Zoning Certificate" must be
issued by 
the Zoning Administrator "stating that the proposed use of the building or
land conforms 
ot the requirements of this Zoning Code."  

An occupancy permit--the follow up to a building permit--is different, and
usually issued 
by a building inspector.  I cannot immediately access the exact requirements
on the city 
web site.

It is my understanding that NSA does not have a Zoning Certificate.  I
assume, but am 
not currently able to verify that they obtained an occupancy permit related
to any 
construction permits.

Who gave NSA their occupancypermit? For the city would have been 
aware of all the improvements up to this day and changes in the

the permits or "lack therof" at that time.

A few questions asked in the spirit of trying to get a
better grasp on the issues.

1.The last couple of emails have given me the
impresseion that "educational instituions" that are
not written into the zoning ordience as ok are
prohibited.I read the zoning ordienance and while
section 3.5.7 specifically included:

"commercial schools, churches, synagogues, mosques,
governmental offices,libraries, museums, art galleris,
police and fire station, and similiar public or
private instituions"

....aspermitted principle uses and structures -- I
don't see anything that specifies any non-permitted
uses and structures used for educational purposes.So
someone is gonna have to explain to me how the
conclusion was reached that trade/professional schools
are o.k., but other types of schools are not.

I'm not interested in who does or doesn't like Wilson.
 I want to know on what grounds this interpretaion of
zoning ordinance comes from. My knowledge of the city
ordinances is pretty weak, so perhaps this is a simple
issue that everybody else on the list is already clear
on.But I would like some explanation.


2.How is it that NSA, as contoversial as that
instituion and its affiliated church have been, was
able to open their doors as an educational institution
if that was an illegal activity in their current
locatation in the first place?Were none of the
citizens of this town -- including the city council --
aware of the zoning ordienance?It seems like this
issue should have come up long ago.Why didn't it?

Thanks in advance for whatever clarification on these
two issue members of the list can offer.

Eric
