Development Impact Analysis:
1. Land Use Compatibility
The applicant is proposing to change the zoning to PD/CF for a private school. Surrounding uses
consist of primarily single family.
The private school is compatible with surrounding uses.
2. Comprehensive Plan Consistency — Far West
The 2019 Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property as Institutional and Single Family.
The private school meets the below policies within the following Comprehensive Plan:
• Promote healthy physical activity among children by designing enhanced walkability into
neighborhoods surrounding new and proposed school sites.
• Locate elementary schools, parks, and neighborhood commercial uses within walking
distance of most homes to maximize walkable, bikeable, and transit connectivity with all
surrounding residential areas.
Based on conformance with the policies stated above, the proposed zoning is consistent with
the Comprehensive Plan.
