Galilee United Methodist Church Community Garden

Description

The church wants a special use permit for a ~6-acre community garden (vegetable and prayer gardens, fenced, with parking off DeLuca Street) in R-15 zoning, where a garden is allowed only by special use permit. The hearing was postponed to July so neighbors and the church can try to find common ground.

Impact summary

Neighbors worry about privacy and property values; the church says the garden will be donated-produce, fully maintained, and set back from property lines. The council wants both sides talking before July.
