Discussed
Jim Brewer, head of the McGillis School, asked to rezone the properties from R-2 to I (Institutional) and amend the Central Community plan so the existing church building can be used as a school. He cited the school's need for space for more students and the history of using the ward building; no drop-off or pickup would occur on the property, and the community sent multiple letters of support. Members and staff discussed whether churches are allowed in the R-2 zone.
