Agenda Item Summary:
The applicant has submitted an Initial Planned Development Overlay to allow a school and a residential development. The proposed North Rapid Indigenous School and Community is located southeast of the intersection of Haines Avenue and Country Road and is comprised of 66.32 acres of land zoned Medium Density Residential District (MDR). The property is currently void of structural development. There are three primary uses planned for the site; a school, daycare, and residential dwellings. The school will be located centrally on the site with residential developments to the north and south. Site development will occur incrementally in three phases to prioritize the near-term goals of beginning school construction and providing housing. Phase 1: The first phase focuses on the southern zone accessed from Haines Avenue and includes, the initial build-out of infrastructure, construction of the K-6 school, housing, and site readiness/restoration. Phase 2: The second phase accessed from Country Road focuses on the northern zone and includes, the completion of the 7-12 school, housing, and final sustainability measures. Phase 3: The third and final phase involves a future rezoning to General Commercial District in the southwest portion of the site to continue the existing Commercial Corridor along Haines Avenue. A Collector Street, as shown on the City’s Major Street Plan, will be constructed from Haines Avenue to the east property line to align with Neva Way as part of Phase 1 of the development. The road requires a minimum of 68 feet of right-of-way with an additional 10 feet of right-of-way within 200 feet of Haines Avenue. The roadway is proposed to be named Oceti Sakowin Way after the school. The proposed development requires a minimum of 357 on-site parking spaces and 359 have been provided. Eight ADA spaces with one being van-accessible will be required as part of the Final Planned Development Overlay. The land is defined as a Community Land Trust (CLT) which is traditionally an independent community-controlled entity that owns the land and stewards the land ensuring that it is used in ways that support the community. All driveways and roads, with exception of the planned collector street, will be privately owned and managed by the trust. Land in a CLT is most often used to provide permanent affordable housing and separates ownership of the land from the ownership of buildings on the land. This separation of ownership allows homeowners to have control and security as owners while the community has a guarantee that when the land changes hands it stays affordable and in community-serving uses. The Oceti Sakowin Community Academy (OSCA) is a K-12 school located in the middle of the parcel. The school site will occupy 45 acres of property. The school will be one story in height and 135,000 square feet in size. The school will serve two classes of 20 students per grade, or 520 students, and 52 staff in total. A K-12 school is classified as a Conditional Use in the Medium Density Residential District. The southern residential development will include 20 townhouse units and three apartment buildings. The apartment buildings will be three stories in height and have a total of 79 dwelling units. The apartment site will occupy 11 acres of property. A 10,000 square-foot child care center will be located on the ground floor of the southernmost apartment building and is anticipated to serve 80 children and 15 staff. A child care center is classified as a Conditional Use in the Medium Density Residential District. Northern residential development will include 16 townhouse units and 12 single-family units. Single-family dwellings, townhomes, and multi-family dwellings are permitted uses in the Medium Density Residential District. The open space on the site will be utilized as; a land-based learning amenity and other needs of the school, an outdoor performance space for school activities and graduations, and a loop trail for pedestrian connectivity to all areas of the site and school cross-country meets. No Exceptions are being requested as part of this application.
