Body
Summary and Background Information:
The applicant is requesting that the City approve the rezoning request for these four identified parcels along Brighton Road. The school district intents to obtain a clean title commitment and consolidate all parcels for future planning development.
The school district is requesting this rezoning due to planned developments on the site. The district plans to have two educational facilities operating on these parcels within the next five years- Alsup to be operational in 2021. The elementary school is currently in the design phase, and the potential future middle school will be built pending an award from the state for capital improvements. These two facilities will have separate addresses, but it is the districts intent to locate them on the same contiguous parcel under one clean title commitment. The district has contracted a licensed land surveyor to prepare plats according to state and local requirements. This proposed rezoning is consistent with the specific zoning districts in which it is located, and the school district has no plans to develop commercial properties on this land. Rezoning these select parcels from Commercial to Public will also help ensure that our proposed location promote safe and convenient pedestrian access to and from surrounding residential areas.
These four parcels comprise an area of approximately .67 acres.
The zoning case is being processed concurrently with vacation case V-90-19, and consolidation subdivision case S-748-19.
