zoning from one classification to another but relies on the Comprehensive Plan and good
planning principles.
Planned Development standards are found in Section 30-387 of the Zoning Ordinance.
Property Location and Type:
The subject area is currently zoned Suburban Mixed Use (SMU) and consists of three parcels
encompassing approximately 72.5 acres,located on the west side of Lake Butte Des Morts Drive and
south of W. Snell Road.The subject area consist of farm land, single family residence and signification
portions of wetland/flood plain.The surrounding area consists of commercial uses and undeveloped

ANALYSIS
Use
The petitioner is proposing to develop the existing vacant commercial parcel into school.The facility
would be an Acton Academy, as a multi-age 4k-12 school segmented into approximately four multi-
age groups including early elementary, elementary,middle and high school. Each group would
consist of approximately 30-40 students. The campus type setting would include approximately five
3,000 sq. ft.buildings. Each age group would occupy one building with an additional building for
art/mixed use. The building would be 1 to 2 story and designed primarily as open class room space.
The intended school use is classified as an Indoor Institutional Use,therefore, requires a Base Standard
Modification(BSM) within the Neighborhood Mixed Use District(NMU). Staff is in support of the
NMU and associated BSM to allow indoor institutional. The proposed development is in the very
early stages and these actions would allow the petitioner to move forward with the purchase of the
property. The proposed use would only occupy a small portion of the site and staff feels the flexibility
of the NMU district and BSM to allow indoor institutional use will allow the applicant and city to
work together as the project further develops, as well as possible other developments on the site in the
future. At this time the applicant is providing only a generalized concept plan in order to establish
the allowed use,which would permit the sale of the property to move forward. As the proposed use
requires a BSM, staff will be evaluating the proposed plan during the Specific Implementation Plan
process for opportunities to enhance the project as justification for issuance of a BSM.
Site Design/Access
The conceptual site plan proposes five approximately 3,000 sq.ft. 1-2 story buildings designed to fit
around a u-shape drive and between several environmental areas. The concept plan indicates
approximately 40 parking spaces. The proposed development is approximately 98% greenspace and
2%impervious.
Storm Water Management/Utilities
No storm water management plans have been provided at this time. Finalized storm water
management plans will be required as part of the Specific Implementation Plan and Site Plan Review
process.
Landsca"m
No landscaping plans have been provided at this time. Finalized landscaping plan will be required as
part of the Specific Implementation Plan and Site Plan Review process.
Signage &Building Facades
No signage plan or facade drawings have been provided at this time. Final signage and building
facade approval will be required as part of the Specific Implementation Plan.

FINDINGS/REC®MMENDATI®N/C®NDITI®NS
In its review and recommendation to the Common Council on an application for a Planned

sewer and water and public roads.

buffers and transitions between areas of different land uses and development
densities/intensities.

beauty surrounding the site.

compatible with adjacent/nearby development.

environmental design and significant alternative approaches to addressing development
performance that relate to and more than compensate for any requested exceptions/base
standard modifications variation of any standard or regulation of this Chapter.
(j)For Planned Development projects that are proposed to be developed in phases,the
applicant can provide a timeline for development and can demonstrate that the project would
be successful even if all phases were not or could not be completed.

RE: Acton Academy-take Butte Des Morts Drive
Rezoning and General Development Plan narrative.
This rezoning request is to change the use of the proposed property from SM U to NMU-PD to allow
for the future development of a school.
The proposed school would be based on the Acton Academy, as a multi-age 4K-12 school segmented
into four multi-age groups including early elementary, elementary, middle and high school. Each
age group would consist of 30-40 students, with a total of 120-160 students on the campus.
Learning is individualized and project based.
The campus would consist of five, approximately 3,000 square foot buildings. Each building would
serve an individual age group, with an additional building as an art/mixed use building. The
buildings would be I to 2 story buildings designed primarily as open classroom space.
The existing site includes a single-family residence, but is primarily farmland and wetland. The
proposed building site will have minimal impact on the wetlands. The proposed project is also very
low in density. The site is 3,158,250 sf (72.503 acres). Greenspace as currently designed will be
3,094,647 sf (98% of site) with 63,603 sf impervious (2% of site). Much of the site is in wetlands and
underwater, therefore the amount of green space will remain high even if any future development
were to take place. Approximately 20 acres is above the 100-year flood and not within the
wetlands.
The site is situated between Lake Butte Des Morts and Highway 45 with a small residential area to
the south and the slough to the north. The traffic on Lake Butte Des Morts Drive is light as the site
is not on a major roadway. The proposed project will add traffic load in the morning and at pick up
times, but as the site is somewhat isolated, impact on neighboring properties will be limited.
Approval for rezoning and of the General Development Plan will allow the petitioner to purchase
the property at this time. Continued coordination with the city will occur as the project is further
developed in the future.
