`® Item umber Ci Council G.~0.1 Benda, ect~~n eet~n ate Prepared Communi Develo meat Nlarch ~ 5, 20~ 0 erem Barnhart, Plannin Mana er item escr~t~~n ev~ee authorization to Review Possible Changes to the Zoning ordinance that May Permit a Commercial Recreal~ion Type e~iee y Facility in a Residential Zone cti®n a uese Staff is requesting authorization to pursue defining possible changes to the zoning ordinance that may permit a commercial recreation type facility in a residential zone. u~nma~ City staff has been approached by Spectrum High School fox this possible amendment. Spectrum High School received a tennis dome as a gift from a fitness center. State law does not pex~xait a chartex school with Specti~m's length of service to own property or land. To be consistent with state law, once the structure is constructed, a thud party must own the s~.•ucture and the land it sits on. High schools axe institutional uses and are permitted in residential zones as a conditional use. The conditional use review frequently includes such accessory features as lighted athletic fields, gyms, parking lots, etc. Because the tennis dome is not owned by Spectrum High School, this use can not be reviewed as an accessory use to the school. Spectrum is considering partnering with a third party who would own and operate the tennis dome on property adjacent to Spectturn High School. For this to occur, carefully constructed amendments to the zoning ordinance will be necessary, Staff does not support a commercial recreation business in residential zones, but can see the benefit when such a use perhaps run by a nonprofit} is primarily accessory to a high school. It the Council does not see the value in such an amendment, the Council is encouraged to deny the request.
