Planning & Zoning Commission Regular Meeting 7/17/25

This is a request for a recommendation to City Council regarding adoption of the Natural Areas Strategic Framework as a component of City Plan. The Framework updates the City’s 2014 Natural Areas Master Plan and serves as a systemwide guide for the planning and management of the Natural Areas Department (NAD) over the coming decade. Rooted in ballot language, extensive community engagement, and broader City policies, the Framework articulates an updated vision, set of values, and strategic goals for the Department. It provides the foundation for action-oriented planning that will be implemented through zone-level management planning.

This is a Site Plan Advisory Review (SPAR) request to change the use and occupancy of the existing 42,595 sq. ft. building at 3939 Automation Way (parcel #8731109001) to AXIS International Academy, which includes complete demolition and renovation of all interior spaces. The site is located in the Employment (E) zone district and is subject to a Site Plan Advisory Review (SPAR) review and will go to the Planning and Zoning Commission for review
