Title
Conduct a public hearing and consider an ordinance for Zoning Text Amendment No. 2018-02 amending Chapter 1-600, Temporary Uses and Structures; Chapter 2-200, Use Regulations; Chapter 3-200, Use Regulations; Chapter 3-500, Supplementary Use Regulations; and Chapter 6-100, Definitions and Interpretation of Terms; thereby providing new and revised regulations for primary and secondary educational uses and temporary classrooms.
(The Planning and Zoning Commission recommends approval of the zoning text amendment.)
Body
On March 26, 2018, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 6 to 1 (Ms. Shepherd dissenting) to recommend approval of Zoning Text Amendment No. 2018-02.
In the past few years, a number of additions have been made to existing schools and several new schools have been established. Concerns have been raised about the impacts of these schools in neighborhoods, particularly concerning traffic. Staff is proposing amendments to the Zoning Ordinance that would require a conditional use permit (CUP) for new and expanded elementary and secondary schools. In addition, a traffic impact analysis and traffic management plan would be required as part of the CUP process.
Recommended/Desired Action
After the public hearing, staff recommends approval of the ordinance.
