The Benton County Planning Commission voted Tuesday to deny a conditional use permit to build a gymnasium and parking lot on Powers Avenue in a semi-rural North Albany neighborhood.
The vote was 4-2 to deny the permit sought by Northside Christian Church, which now rents space at Oak Grove Middle School for its services for an average of $1,400 a month.
The commission met in Corvallis, and I tried to follow the proceedings online. I could not tell who voted how on the motion to deny the permit, but I hope to add the names later…
