The applicant is requesting a conditional use permit to
occupy a portion of the existing education building of the
Tyler Street Baptist Church at 2100 S. Tyler Street as a
Neighborhood Alert Center.
The intended use as a neighborhood alert center is to
provide a wide range of services to area residents. These
services will include the use of this facility for public
meetings by neighborhood associations and other community
based groups.
The alert center will also house a staff of at least (3)
three city employees to include a neighborhood facilitator,
who will work directly with area residents to promote
community development and provide services and information
helpful to the community. A community police officer and
code enforcement officer will be located in the alert center
as well.
The alert center will operate according to normal business
hours with an occasional public meeting at night.
