Current zoning of the school property is a combination of Public Land and Neighborhood <br /> Commercial. Neighborhood Commercial is not a Metro land use designation and may be <br /> compatible with Residential land use designations (determined at time of zone change). <br /> <br /> This site is located within potential Nodal Development Area 5C as identified in <br /> TransPlan. <br /> <br /> Based on this evidence, staff feels that designation of the entire school property as <br /> Commercial could be contrary to adopted policies. Some Neighborhood Commercial <br /> development, as current zoning allows, is compatible. Commercial land use designation <br /> is not necessary to retain the Neighborhood Commercial zoning. <br /> <br /> Recommendation: Have the Metro Plan Land Use Diagram designate the entire Santa <br /> Clara Elementary School site as Low Density Residential (Tax lot #s: 17-04-11-44- <br /> 00200; 00300; 00400; and 17-04-11-41-09100; 09200; and 09300). This designation <br /> should not be interpreted to prejudice future land use amendments to support nodal <br /> development. <br /> <br />11. Designation of 4J Schools: Westmoreland Elementary <br /> <br /> Issue: What is appropriate Land Use Designation of school sites that will no longer be <br /> used for "Government and Education" purposes? School District 4J requests Medium <br /> Density Residential designation for the Westmoreland Elementary School site. <br /> <br /> Staff Analysis: See introductory remarks in number 10, above. <br /> <br /> The old Metro Plan "blob" diagram depicts the Westmoreland School site as "Medium <br /> Density Residential." The school district's pending zone change application would have <br /> the site be R-2, Medium Density Residential, which is consistent with that land use <br /> designation. A public hearing was held on January 28, 2004, at which time there was <br /> some testimony suggesting that part of the site should be designated for Parks and Open <br /> Space. The Heatings Official's decision has not been issued yet. <br /> <br /> Recommendation: Have the Metro Plan land Use Diagram designate the entire <br /> Westmoreland Elementary School site as Medium Density Residential (Tax lot #s: 17-04- <br /> 36-33-00201 and 00400). <br /> <br />12. Commercial or Residential on Tax lot 17-04-02-34-00300 (Irvington <br /> Road) <br /> <br /> Issue: A pending zone change application on this Irvington Road property brought to <br /> light that a refinement plan interpretation reflected in the draft Metro Plan diagram <br /> overstated the amount of commercial. <br /> <br />Metro Plan Periodic Review Text and Diagram Amendments Staff Notes Page 27 of 28 <br /> City Council Agenda page 329 <br /> <br /> <br />
