Item# 6.3. & 6.6. <br /> <br />~ty of <br /> <br />vel' <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />Planning Commission <br /> <br />FROM: <br />DATE: <br /> <br />Steve Ach, City Planner_~~ <br /> <br />August 26, 1997 <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />Request for Rezoning and Land Use <br />Plan Amendment by Independent <br />School District #728, Public Hearing <br />Case No.'s ZC 97-6 and LU 97-5 <br /> <br />Issue <br /> <br />Consider request to rezone approximately 20 acres from R4 (Multi-family <br />residential) and I-1 (Light Industrial) to Rlc (Single Family Residential), and <br />amend the Comprehensive Land Use Plan from LI (Light Industrial) to MR <br />(Medium Density Residential). <br /> <br />Location <br /> <br />The northwest corner of County Road No. 1 and School Street. <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> <br />· Zoning map <br />· Land use map <br /> <br />Overview <br /> <br />The property consists of approximately 20 acres and currently is occupied by <br />the Community Education facility, recreational fields and a parking lot (Oak <br />Knoll Park). The rezoning request was an issue discussed by city staff with <br />the School District as part of their application to develop an alternative <br />learning center on the southern end of the site adjacent to Community <br />Education. The current zoning of the property is R4 (Multi-Family <br />Residential) and I-1 (Light Industrial) are not consistent with the current use <br />of park nor the long range land use for this area. Therefore, the suggestion to <br />rezone the property and amend the land use similar to the School District's <br />other facilities north of School Street and east of Proctor seems like a logical <br />request. The property is contiguous to the School District's other facilities <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
