If these facilities are to <br />remain in place, some sort of cross -use easements should he <br />included in the subdivision approvals. The drainage of the site <br />should be reviewed by the City Engineer for the potential need <br />for drainage and utility easements, particularly as they may be <br />needed over the undeveloped parcel. <br />The parking issue is mentioned here as the District 916 use of <br />the building will likely require much more parking than a typical <br />secondary school. The Zoning Ordinance provides that a change of <br />use be accompanied by an increase in the number of parking stalls <br />if. necessary.
