6. PRIVATE SCHOOLS IN RESIDEPdTIAL DISTRICTS: RECOMPIENDED TITLE 25 CODE AMENDMENT
CP Yost reviewed his staff report da+ed 10/2/79. He noted the five conditional uses
which require a special permit in the R-1 District, particularly the sections relating
to types of schools, and the requirement that a private school be non-profit. Staff
believed the code procedure for review of schools in residential districts provided
sufficient safeguards, and that the prohibition against a profit making private
school appeared to be excessive. Code changes were recommended.
After some discussion Commission agreed the non-profit requirement could be omitted
and requested staff prepare the necessary code amendment for transmittal to City
Counci 1.
7o MINIMUM GARAGE IJIDTH IN THE R-1 DISTRICT: RECOMMENDED TITLE 25 CODE AMENDMENT
CP Yost reviewed his staff report dated 10/3/79. He noted parking space requirements
for all districts, and the code requirements for additions to older homes which have
resulted in time consuming processing of variances. Staff recommended that additions
and enlargements to older homes with garages not less than 18' wide be allowed with
a building permit, providing all other zoning ordinance requirements are met. Additions
�nd enlargements to homes with garanes less than 18' wide would continue to require a
variance from the Planning Commission. The present requirement that all new single
family homes with three or more bedrooms shall have two covered parking spaces 20'x20'
would remain unchanged. _
