<br />Schools are allowed in all zones except Heavy Industrial and Agriculture, but the review process varies
<br />by zone. In the R-S and R-1 zones, a conditional use permit is required. In the R-2, R-2(A), UR3, UR4, and
<br />LI zones, an administrative use permit is required. Schools are a permitted use in the MU, B, and NB
<br />zones.
<br />Administrative use permit
<br />Administrative use permits are planning director decisions (Review Process II), which may include
<br />conditions, after public notice (includes posting notices on the site and mailing to property owners
<br />within 150'). The decision, including any conditions, is made after a review of a proposal against criteria
<br />in EMC 15.02.070:
<br />1. Compatibility of proposed structures and improvements with surrounding properties,
<br />including the size, height, location, setback and arrangements of all proposed buildings and
<br />facilities, especially as they relate to light and shadow impacts on more sensitive land uses and
<br />less intensive zones.
<br />2. The landscaping, buffering and screening of buildings, parking, loading and storage areas,
<br />especially as they relate to more sensitive land uses.
<br />3. The generation of nuisance irritants such as noise, smoke, dust, odor, glare, visual blight or
<br />other undesirable impacts.
<br />Conditional use permit
<br />Conditional use permits are hearing examiner decisions (Review Process IIIA), which may include
<br />conditions, after public notice (including posting notices on the site and mailing to property owners
<br />within 500') and an open public hearing in front of the hearing examiner. The decision, including any
<br />conditions, is made after a review of a proposal against criteria in EMC 15.03.120:
<br />1. The adequacy of utilities, public facilities and services required to serve a proposed use.
<br />2. The impact of traffic generated by the proposed use on the surrounding area, pedestrian
<br />circulation and public safety; and the ability of the proponent to mitigate such potential impacts.
<br />3. Compatibility of proposed structures and improvements with surrounding properties,
<br />including the size, height, location, setback and arrangements of all proposed buildings and
<br />facilities, especially as they relate to light and shadow impacts on more sensitive land uses and
<br />less intensive zones.
<br />4. The landscaping, buffering and screening of buildings, parking, loading and storage areas,
<br />especially as they relate to more sensitive land uses.
<br />5. The generation of nuisance irritants such as noise, smoke, dust, odor, glare, visual blight or
<br />other undesirable impacts.
<br />6. Compliance with the provisions of Title 19 and other city, state and federal regulations.
