Why can’t UUCM simply expand on its existing site?
Our church on “Piety Hill” and our santuary. Our current 605 Rice Street property is only ¼ acre and is considered a “non-conforming property” by the City of Wayzata whose zoning ordinances require that churches be on a minimum of 3 acres. Even if UUCM acquired the two neighboring homes, the site would still not be large enough. Remodeling the current building is not an option because the building would remain too small, inaccessible to the handicapped, too costly and inefficient to maintain and the lack of adequate parking spaces would continue to be a problem.
