SoCal City Evicts Tiny Church, Claiming 4 People Need 18 Parking Spaces
The Pacific Justice Institute has issued this press release that reports:
A Planning Commission meeting tonight could decide the fate of a tiny church in Lemon Grove. The city, near San Diego, discovered Bethel Apostolic Church during a Code Enforcement crackdown . . .
Church member Patricia Mims owns the building which houses the church. The City told Mims she needed to seek an expensive Zoning Code Amendment in order for the church to continue meeting on her property. Mims sought the amendment, but now City planners are recommending denial, in part because the 4-person church doesn’t have 18 parking spaces . . .
