Church wants to build on wooded land, but code says otherwise
Davenport zoning code, city staff, and Plan and Zoning Commission members say otherwise.
“It’s changing people’s lives,” said Rock Church Ministries member and project architect Joshua Arguello, of Davenport. “Our church is doing amazing things with that little building. And for us to be able to have a facility that will be operational seven days a week and not just on Sunday mornings, we know that we are going to grow and we know that it will instill a value in the community around it.”
Davenport City Council will meet Wednesday to consider a request from Rock Church Ministries to rezone a 3.53-acre wooded lot south of the Davenport public works facility off East 46th Street and north of Davenport Memorial Park cemetery from open space to single-family residential in order to build the church.
