(2) Dismiss Candidate Land without Other Needed Site Characteristics <br />The next step is to evaluate the remaining fourth priority land in terms of the other needed site <br />characteristics. <br />Other Site Characteristics: <br />• Size. <br />o Minimum buildable size (at least 330' wide) of 25 acres <br />Reasonably unconstrained/available for school use. <br />o Not committed to conflicting uses or environmental protections <br />o Not severely encumbered with development constraints (such as the Special Flood <br />Hazard Area) <br />• Accessibility. <br />o Located on existing or planned collector or arterial street ("Major Streets" on all study <br />maps) <br />• Availability for school ownership. <br />o Owned or available to be owned by the School District for purposes of <br />school development <br />The map above, Fourth Priority Land: Other Site Characteristics, is a visual representation of this <br />analysis. <br />Size <br />• Dismissal of Sites with Fewer than 25 Buildable Acres <br />The narrow strip of land ("P4.4") that connects Clear Lake Road to a tax lot primarily inside the <br />current urban growth boundary is approximately one acre total, far less than the needed 25 <br />acres. Due to insufficient size, site P4.4 is dismissed from further consideration. <br />The site composed of two tax lots immediately to the west of site P4.4 (P4.3) is only 294 feet <br />wide (less than the 330 feet needed to be considered buildable), for a considerable length of the <br />site. The portion of the site with sufficient width is 30.3 acres. <br />Reasonably unconstrained/available for school use <br />• Dismissal of Land with Goal 5 Protections or within FEMA Flood Zones (Special Flood Hazard <br />Area) <br />All four remaining sites of sufficient size (labeled P4.1, P4.2, P4.3 and P4.5 on the map above) <br />are constrained by the Special Flood Hazard Area to some extent. Sites P4.2 and P4.3 are also <br />constrained by Goal 5 protections. For sites P4.1, P4.2 and P4.5, these constraints do not reduce <br />the buildable acreage of any site below 25 acres. For site P4.3, given the insufficiently wide <br />portion of this site, the buildable acreage of the site after constraints is 15.8 acres, and <br />therefore unsuitable for school siting. Due to insufficient unconstrained land, site P4.3 is <br />dismissed from further consideration. <br />Appendix A to Findings May 2017 Page 22 <br />
