MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION JUNE 8, 2000 property should be rezoned to Public given the issues of control that the City has in rezoning a property. Kraemer pointed out that the property would continue to pay property taxes until such time as it is purchased by the school district. The Planner replied that that was correct. However, the same is true if the property remains RB and the City allows public schools as a conditional use in that district. Under either circumstance, if the school district purchases the property for use as a school, the property would come off the tax rolls. Knudsen recommended that the Planning Commission's recommendation in favor of rezoning 433 East Little Canada Road from Residential Business to Public in order to allow the operation of a public charter school from the site remain as previously adopted. Motion seconded by Kraemer. Motion carried 6 - 0. Knudsen recommended denial of the amendment to the Zoning Code allowing public schools as a Conditional Use in the Residential Business (RB) Zoning District as well as denial of the application for Conditional Use Permit allowing the operation of a public charter school as requested by Family Academy for property located at 433 East Little Canada Road given the Commission's position that the City would have more control by limiting the public school use in the Public Zoning District. Motion seconded by Barraclough. Motion carried 6 - 0. CONCEPT Mr. Jeff Bock, Land Holding Company, appeared before the Commission REVIEW - requesting concept review for the development of townhomes on property TOWNHOMES - on Park Street/Rice Street just south of the Goodyear development site. PARK STREET Bock indicated that he is currently having a wetland delineation done of this property. He noted that the concept shows 12 townhomes on the property and indicated that this would be a very low density given the total acreage of the site. The number of units may change given the results of the wetland delineation. Todd Phillips, Park Street resident, reported that he discussed the property with the Division of Waters, and was told that this may be a protected wetland.
