He referenced a letter he received from Dan <br /> DeBruyn of Spectrum High School earlier that afternoon,which outlined Spectrum's <br /> intent to purchase the building and property located at 17823 Industrial Circle NW <br /> to fulfill their plans to expand facilities within the business park. Mr. Portner <br /> indicated staff had exhausted all other conceivable opportunities available by the city <br /> during many discussions and meetings over the past few months and asked for <br /> discussion regarding Spectrum's desire to achieve their proposed solution to their <br /> expansion needs. He also asked for discussion and direction from the council for <br /> their proposal to amend the city's ordinance to disallow institutional uses within <br /> business parks, and noted would have no impact on Spectrum's current operations as <br /> their operation of a school institution would be a legal non-conforming use. <br /> Mayor Dietz asked about the Economic Development Authority-owned property in <br /> the business park as still being an option for Spectrum. <br /> Councilmember Westgaard noted moving Spectrum from the Industrial Park to the <br /> Business Park doesn't solve the school's entire problem as both locations have <br /> similar challenges and concerns with location, traffic, and interaction with other <br /> p0WIRIORr <br /> NREI <br />
