Text Amendment of ~34-40.3(g), adding "Outdoor Parking Facility" as a conditional use in the "P A" - Public Activity District Chairperson Marsh announced that a hearing was scheduled to hear an application from the School District of University City represented by Roger Cayce, Executive Director of Buildings, Maintenance and Security and David Winslow, Plant Manager for a text amendment of ~34- 40.3(g) to add "Outdoor Parking Facility" as a conditional use in the "PA" - Public Activity District. The Chairperson noted the Commission's procedures and criteria for reviewing text amendments. The Chairperson called upon the applicants. Mr. Cayce stated that the School District of University City is planning to build an Early Learning Center at the current site of the school bus parking facility on Kingsland. Therefore, the parking area for the buses needs to be relocated. The School District has decided to move the buses to an area behind the building on the Brittany Woods Middle School lot. Since an outdoor bus parking facility is not a permitted use in the "P A" - Public Activity District, the School District is asking to have the Zoning Code amended in order to have the use classified as a conditional use in that district. Assuming that the amendment is passed they are also asking for a conditional use permit to operate the use at that location for 24 buses. The Chairperson called on Al Goldman, Director of Planning to provide the staff report. Mr. Goldman stated that Mr. David Winslow, representing the School District of University City, has filed an application for a text amendment to Zoning Code Section 34-40.3 to add "outdoor parking facility" to the list of conditional uses. Mr. Goldman feels that the language of the amendment is too broad and would permit abuses not considered to be compatible to the purpose of the "P A" - Public Activity District. As Mr. Goldman understands the application, it is intended to allow the use of property in the "P A" - Public Activity District to be used for school bus parking. The "P A" District is intended to accommodate uses and groupings of uses that have a distinctly public character and to encourage the retention of open space such as cemeteries and recreational areas. The list of permitted uses includes the following text under Section 34-40.2,c: m-9-28.plc
