It is the Commission's role to see if it is a good fit for this parcel of land. <br />Associate Planner Gladhill clarified that Public /Quasi - Public zoning doesn't necessarily mean it <br />is tax exempt; we also have golf courses in this zoning. It is intended for larger places of <br />assembly. In this case it is tax exempt. <br />Commissioner Cleveland stated having the school does increase the property values; it is <br />something communities like to have. <br />Motion Carried.
