East - vacant; "MF-2" Multi-Family zoning
West - vacant; PD-133-SF-9 & 12, FP and HC (Planned Development,

residential uses.

development of a public school. At staff suggestion, the applicant

zoning classification which permits public schools and would be
consistent with the nearby zoning of land immediately to the east
of this site owned by Vista Properties.

ALTERNATIVES: 1) Recommend approval of the zoning change
2) Recommend disapproval of the zoning change
