Pinewood Report <br />April 23, 2001 <br />Page 5 <br /> <br /> <br />As stated above, more than 600 children already attend this school, which is evidence of the <br />“need” the school satisfies. <br /> <br />(5) The use is consistent with the purposes of the Zoning Code and the purposes of the zoning <br />district in which the applicant intends to locate the proposed use. <br /> <br />Schools and other institutional uses are conditionally permitted within the R-1, Single-family <br />residential district. <br /> <br />(6) The use is not in conflict with the Comprehensive Plan of the City. <br /> <br />The Comprehensive Plan designates this site as “School” which is appropriate for this use. <br /> <br />(7) The use will not cause traffic hazards or congestion. <br /> <br />If anything, the granting of this conditional use permit and the approval of the associated <br />development review request for the Pinewood facility expansion will improve traffic <br />circulation and reduce on street parking adjacent to the site. <br /> <br />All of the findings appear to support the granting of a CUP for the Pinewood Elementary School at <br />5500 Quincy Street. <br /> <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />Continue the public hearing originally scheduled for March 26, 2001 and take testimony from the <br />residents, from representatives of Perkins and Will and from the school district executive director. <br /> <br />The Planning Commission has adopted resolution 649-01, which recommends to the City Council <br />approval of the conditional use permit and development review request associated with their <br />submitted expansion plans, date stamped April 18, 2001. Staff supports this recommendation of <br />approval. <br /> <br />Resolution 5540, a resolution approving the development review and conditional use permit with <br />certain stipulations, has been prepared and is attached to this report for the Council’s consideration. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />_____________________________________ <br />James Ericson <br />Community Development Director <br />763-171-4021 <br /> <br />
