The city has postponed a meeting to discuss the zoning change for Loyal Heights Elementary. The meeting was supposed to be tonight (Sept. 15) but due to the teachers strike is now postponed until a later date, according to the city.
There are plans to modernize the elementary school and construct a new addition to the building. The zoning changes requested for the construction include the following:
- Increase lot coverage from the 35% allowed to 50%.
- Increase maximum height from the 35 ft. allowed to 60 ft.
- Reduce setbacks to 0 ft. in some locations.
- Eliminate requirements to provide off-street parking.
- Allow continued on-street bus loading.
We’ll update as soon as we know when the meeting is rescheduled.
