The appIicant is proposing to purchase the property <br />at 1201 County Ro�d E and lease the bui�c��ng to Northwestern Callege to use as student housing <br />for a period not to exceed three years. The applicant is requesting an IUP that would begin in <br />May 2008 and expire at the end of May 20l 1. During that time, Northwestern College plans to <br />const�ct on-campus student housing that would meet their housing needs. S�udent housing is <br />defned as "lnstitutional Housing" in the City's Zoning Code. <br />Presently, the Zoning Code docs not provide for an Interim Use Permit process, nor is <br />Ir�stitutional Housing identified as an interim use in the B-2 District. In order to accorr�modate <br />their request, the applicant has also submitted a proposal to add the Interim Use Permit process <br />to the zoning eode, and add institutional housing as an interim use in the B-2 Disfrict (PIanning <br />Case Q8-009). This �UP is contingent on the City Council's approva� of those proposed zoning <br />code changes. <br />The applicant is not proposing any exterior modifications to the building, other than routine <br />maintenance and repair that may be needed over the three year period.
