Lot 4, Block 2, of Aretz 3rd Addition to a point on the West line of said Southwest 1/4 of
said Section 7, 221 feet South of the Northwest corner of said Southwest 1/4.
Findings
Whereas, the property is located in the R-1 Single Family Residence Zoning District, and
educational facilities are allowed in this district by conditional use permit.
Whereas, the property is guided "Civic" in the comprehensive plan, which allows
educational facilities.
Whereas, the property has been used continuously as an educational facility since 1957,
and the school district would continue to use it as such.
Whereas, the use of this property as an educational institution is consistent with and
supportive of principles, goals, objectives, land use designations, redevelopment plans,
neighborhood objectives, and implementation strategies of the comprehensive plan.
Whereas, the use is not detrimental to the health, safety, morals and general welfare of
the community as a whole. It will not have undue adverse impacts on the use and enjoyment of
properties, existing and anticipated traffic conditions, parking facilities on adjacent streets, and
values of properties in close proximity to the conditional use.
Whereas, the use is consistent with the regulations, intent and purpose of city code and
the zoning district in which the conditional use is located. The proposed plan, with staff
recommended conditions of approval, will meet the conditions required for an educational
facility and the proposed building, parking lot and site improvements.
Whereas, the use will not have undue adverse impacts on governmental facilities, services
or improvements which are either existing or proposed.
Whereas, the site design for the school is consistent with the design and other
requirements of site and landscape plans prepared by or under the direction of a professional
landscape architect or civil engineer registered in the state and adopted as part of the
conditions imposed on the use by the city council.

Whereas, the use and site design are consistent with the city's stormwater, sanitary
sewer, and water plans. On-site stormwater management improvements will be made as part
of the site improvements. The existing utilities have capacity for the use.

1. All buildings shall be located at least 50 feet from any lot line of a lot in an R
district.
2. An off-street passenger loading area shall be provided in order to maintain

an R district.
4. Access shall be to a roadway identified in the comprehensive plan as a collector or
