ANALYSIS The subject site contains approximately 264,380t square feet and has been zoned R-2 since hpproximate1y 1949 at which time Zoning Ordinance 760 was adopted which allowed schools in an R-2 zone. A major portion of the school is located in this area. . The Genel'a1 Plan de~ignates this area as Public Facility and Open Space, The proposed zone change would not affect the existing school uses. . . . .-' .~ 2-75-7 2 Pursuant to the provIsIons of the California Enviionmental Quali ty Act, the Planning Department reviewed the propo,sed zone c~ange and determined that the proposal would not have a significant affect un the environment, A Negative Declaration has been prepared and filed ,for this project. The City Council in its approval or denial of the proposed zone change mllst make the determination that the proposal would or would not have a substantial adverse impact on the environment, RECO~fMENDATION Since there is no zone classification for Public Facilities and Open Space, the Planning Department believes that Holly Avenue School zoned R-2 should be changed to R-l which would be consistent lvi th the zoning of adj"acent prope.rties. There- fore, the Plannillg Department recommends that this property be rezoned to R-l. PLANjlG DEPARTMENT ~~K~ DONNA L, BUTLER ASSISTANT PLANNER db At.tachment "
