Hi Pastor Dorothy,
As a religious facility, Christ the King Lutheran Church is a Conditional Use (CUP). The current trailer storage
and use associated with the Harvest Hosts programs is not covered in that conditional use.The cited violations
are not allowed under the approved conditional use.
To modify the Church's conditional use a Major Modification (MMD)Type II would be required. Attached is a
workflow of how to obtain a MMD Type II (red arrows) the steps are outlined in Chapter 18.710.
- Section 18.710.030.A. Pre-application meeting$450
- Section 18.710.030.B. Neighborhood meeting
- Section 18.710.030.C. MMD Type II application $4,848
- Section 18.710.030. D. Application completeness
- Section 18.710.060.A. Notice of application
- Section 18.710.060.B. Decision Chapter 18.765.070 Major Modifications
- Section 18.710.060.C. Notice of Decision
- Section 18.710.060.D. Final Decision
If you have any questions about the required Major Modification Type II to modify the existing Conditional Use
let us know.
Thank you,
Katelyn

You don't often get email from pastordorothy@tigardlutherans.com. Learn why this is important
Thank you for returning my call.
I have just one other question I forgot to ask. Will someone from the City come and assess with their own
eyes that the allegations leveled against us are inaccurate before imposing any fines?
First of all, there is no transient camp,there is no 'stored junk', no garbage or waste outside of proper
collection bins, there is no debris around the property...we pick it up at least once a week.
We have worked with the officers regularly when there is a 'real'transient' on the property. We cannot
and will not post No Trespassing signs on a church property.
I just want to be perfectly clear about the mission of a church. We don't operate our ministry the same
way that commercial businesses operate.
Thank you again for your call. Please let me know when you will be coming to assess the alleged
violations.
Pastor Dorothy
