Zoning & Potential: RS-2 zoning offers: continue utilizing it as a church, or reframe it as a community art center, performance venue, or live-work artist studio. The city has indicated they would not favor a change from the current zoning to any kind of multi-family housing. Being sold AS-IS. It could make a cool single family home.
