ITEM SUMMARY: The applicant is requesting to rezone approximately 1.65 acres of land, located approximately 500 feet west of South Ballantrae Drive and on the south side of Virginia Parkway from "O" - Office District to "BN" - Neighborhood Business District.
Two buildings totaling approximately 5,500 square feet currently exist on the subject property and serve as a home for the Good Shepherd Montessori School. The existing Montessori school, classified as a daycare, is currently a legal non-conforming use on the subject property as daycares are not allowed by right within the "O" - Office District. In order to construct a new school building as indicated by the letter of intent, approval of a rezoning request to a zoning district which allows daycare uses by right is necessary.
