In addition, the <br />Commission approved three variances for the project to allow a reduction in required street <br />setbacks, to allow a driveway within 150 feet of a street intersection, and to allow a 10 -foot high <br />fence along Wright Street for the Ednovate Charter High School located at 1440-1450 East <br />Seventeenth Street. The Planning Commission made no changes to the recommended actions <br />outlined in the attached staff report (Exhibit A). <br />DISCUSSION <br />The applicant is proposing to convert an existing two-story office building into a public high <br />school. The office building occupies a site that has split zoning consisting of commercial, single- <br />family residential, and single-family residential with the B parking suffix. Since the site is located <br />on a major arterial street, is not a desirable location for residential uses, has previously been <br />occupied by non-residential uses and will continue to in the future, the residential zoning is not <br />appropriate at this location. Approval of the proposed zone change will clean up the inconsistent <br />mix of zoning and will make the zoning consistent with the Commercial General Plan land use <br />designation. <br />75A-1 <br />
