GR Press on Stockbridge Boiler Room community facing zoning issues
Thursday, December 4th, 2008
We saw this story in our local paper last weekend, featuring Symposium 2009 presenters Jenn and Tony Tendero:
A prayer group that meets in a three-stall garage on the city’s West Side has run afoul of officials in the city’s Planning Department.
They have asked the Stockbridge Boiler Room to apply for a special land-use permit if it wants to continue holding its prayer sessions in the garage at 713 Fifth St. NW.
“We’re trying to understand the use — how many people are going to be there and how often they are meeting,” said City Planning Director Suzanne Schulz.
…
Tony Tendero, the founder and abbot of the 3-year-old group, said they moved their twice-daily prayer meetings into the garage after they outgrew the space in the house at that address.
