The Washington City Council approved items related to rezoning for Tribulation and Trust Ministry, Inc. during a special meeting Tuesday.

Tribulation and Trust Ministry owns The Lighthouse Center homeless shelter located on South Iowa Avenue, and are looking to move their thrift store and food pantry to 980 West 5th Street. Tribulation and Trust requested the city rezone the property from heavy industrial to general business district. The Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed the request and recommended rezoning the property along with 986 and 1000 West 5th Street to prevent spot zoning and bring the properties more in compliance with the current zoning requirements. The council approved the first reading of an ordinance changing the boundaries of the zoning districts, and they approved a conditional zoning agreement with Tribulation and Trust stipulating that they will not have the right to use the property for housing or lodging purposes.
