Aberdeen council approves rezoning of Central High School campus
Summary
The City of Aberdeen City Council approved second reading of Ordinance 2412-4 on Jan. 6 to rezone the Aberdeen Central High School campus from R2 to M, allowing the district to pursue variances and special exceptions for planned campus changes.
The City of Aberdeen City Council approved second reading of Ordinance 2412-4 on Monday, Jan. 6, rezoning the Aberdeen Central High School campus from R2 to M.
The rezoning will allow the school district to pursue necessary variances and special exceptions for planned changes at the campus, city staff said.
Ken, a city staff member who presented the item, said the change was requested by the school district and is intended to accommodate specific campus projects: "The school district approached us about doing some changes at the campus, and that would lead to necessary variances and special exceptions, and we offered to rezone them similar to some of the other school properties we've done in the past," he said. He added there have been no changes since the ordinance's first reading.
Councilwoman Foburg asked whether the rezoning was part of a larger cleanup of school property zoning. Ken replied it was done on a campus-by-campus basis as requests come in.
Council clerk Jordan conducted a roll-call vote on the second reading. Council members present voted in favor: Ronen, Foburg, Ward, Johnson, Rheinbould, Norvstroop and Mayor Schoneman. The motion carried.
The ordinance was approved on second reading; no additional amendments were proposed at the meeting. The council will proceed under the rezoned designation to process any subsequent permitting or variance requests from the school district.
