ANALYSIS
Zone Change
The applicant is requesting a zone change to Institutional District (I) for the subject property
fronting West Custer Avenue. This request is intended to provide appropriate zoning for
development of future green space for the neighboring school site. The rezone will provide
consistent zoning for the properties, which is needed to complete a CSM to combine them.
The proposed Institutional zoning is not consistent with the 2040 Comprehensive Land Use Plan
recommendation of Light Density Residential for the subject site. However, staff does not have
concerns with the proposed rezone to Institutional as the Comprehensive Plan is not intended to
be parcel specific and the purpose of this rezone is to allow for future development of the new
school’s green space. For these reasons, staff is supportive of the proposed rezoning of the subject
site.
FINDINGS/RECOMMENDATION/CONDITIONS
In its review and recommendation to the Common Council on an application for a Zoning Map
amendment, staff recommends the Plan Commission make the following findings based on the
criteria established by Chapter 30-381 (D)(2):
