City of Oak Creek

Common Council Report

Meeting Date: October 2, 2007

Item No.:         

Recommendation:  That the Council adopt Ordinance No. 2478, which would rezone the property at 9160 S. Shepard Avenue & part of 9330 S. Shepard Avenue from Rs-2 and Rs-3, Single Family Residential to I-1, Institutional.

Background:  In order to accommodate the new East Middle School the Oak Creek-Franklin Joint School District acquired land to the north and east of the school property.  The land to the north is zoned Rs-2, Single Family Residential and the land to the east is zoned Rs-3, Single Family Residential.  The school is requesting that these lands are rezoned to I-1, Institutional, which is the appropriate zoning classification for school facilities.

A certified survey map is also being proposed to combine these properties and dedicate required easements for drainage, sanitary sewer, and a future watermain. 

The Plan Commission has reviewed this request and has recommended that these properties be rezoned. 

Fiscal Impact:  Since the parcels are owned by the Oak Creek Franklin Joint School District they are tax exempt.
