ISSUE ANALYSIS <br />Zoning <br />According to Section 921.010, Subdivision C, there are five factors to weigh when <br />considering a rezoning. These factors and staff's findings for each are outlined below. <br />1. The proposed action has been considered in relation to the specific policies and <br />provisions of and has been found to be consistent with the official City <br />Comprehensive Land Use Plan. <br />Finding: The City's Proposed Land Use map guides this property for Neighborhood <br />Commercial / Mixed Use development. This classification is consistent with both <br />the site's existing R -B and proposed P zoning classifications. This site is included <br />in one of the Land Use Changes section of the Comprehensive Plan. According to <br />the plan, this area represents the original townsite of Little Canada and includes the <br />St. John's church and the original City Hall. The Comprehensive Plan strongly <br />encourages re -use and renovation of sites in this area. <br />2. The proposed site is or will be compatible with present and future land uses of the <br />area. <br />Finding: According to the City's Existing Land Use map, the subject property is <br />bordered by public uses on the north, south, and west and a commercial use to the <br />east. Given these land uses, staff finds that the proposed school use will be <br />compatible with present and future land uses of the area. <br />3. The proposed use conforms with all performance standards contained herein. <br />Finding: The subject property appears to comply with the zoning standards for both <br />the R -B and P Districts (see chart below). As mentioned above, the property was <br />originally zoned P, Public District. Since that time, there have not been substantial <br />changes in either the site or the performance standards for the P District. <br />Therefore, staff finds the proposed use conforms with the performance standards <br />for properties in the P District. <br />Setback <br />R -B District <br />P District <br />Existing <br />Front <br />30 Feet <br />40 Feet <br />44 Feet <br />Side (East) <br />15 Feet <br />15 Feet <br />20 (+ \ -) Feet <br />Side (West) <br />15 Feet <br />15 Feet <br />160 Feet <br />Rear <br />30 Feet <br />30 Feet <br />80 Feet <br />Page 22 <br />
