ZON2012 00011 On Monday, June 4, 2012, the District Advisory Board (DAB) for Council District 4 reconsidered this request for zone change from SF 5 Single family Residential ("SF 5") to GO General Office ("GO") for a medical clinic at Dodge Elementary School, generally located west of Anna and south of 2nd Street (4801 West 2nd Street North). The item was deferred from the previous meeting so that more information could be gathered to provide to the Board. Derrick Slocum was present for City staff; as well as, the architectural firm and USD 259 representatives, and answered the following questions. Warren stated that all parties met with neighborhood residents where questions and concerns (mainly regarding parking) were expressed and addressed. Bailey asked how many handicapped parking spaces will be available. It was stated that there will be two (2) handicapped spaces, approximately five (5) staff parking spaces and twenty (20) public parking spaces. The Board was encouraged to go to any or all of the other three (3) sites (Cloud Elementary, Gardener Elementary and Gordon Parks Elementary) where this similar operation already exists to observe parking and operation. Gabel asked why the clinic was put at a school. The response is that the grant received for this project was school-based, but will be open year-round. Gabel also asked if Grace Med is a for profit clinic. The question was answered that Grace Med is a non-profit clinic. Bailey asked if the clinic could be expanded on both sides if needed in the future. The response was that yes it could expand if needed and that dental services will also be provided at this site. Bailey also asked if the clinic will be attached to the school. The answer is that currently it will not be attached to the school, but it is designed so that someday it could be. This is why a zone request change is needed because it is a clinic and will require separate water and sewer systems. Bailey also asked if no parking signs could be placed on the street if parking becomes an issue. It was said that there will be another meeting held in August to discuss these scenarios and find solutions to resolve them. Action Taken: DAB members present voiced their opinion unanimously to recommend approval of the zone change request. No formal action was taken since the Board did not have a quorum.
