LEXINGTON, Neb. (AP) — The Lexington City Council has voted to let a former laundromat continue to be used as a mosque.

The council voted Tuesday to grant a conditional use permit for the Islamic Center of Lexington. The council originally voted Dec. 22 to deny the permit, citing concerns about parking and what was best for development and redevelopment of downtown. The mosque already was operating in the building.

City and mosque officials have been negotiating since the city sued the center in February, saying a certificate of occupancy hadn’t been obtained and a conditional use permit was required before the former laundromat can be used for religious purposes.
