Page 3
5. Design:
The additions will be attached to the north and west sides of the
building. The four new classrooms will total 5,127 square feet.
The music room will be 1,648 square feet. The exterior materials
will match the existing building and be one story in height.
RECOMMENDATION:
In review of the request to add four classrooms to Lopez Elementary
School, Staff finds the following facts to be true:
1. Public Schools are a permitted use in the R-L-P Zone District.
2. The design of the addition is compatible with the existing
structure.
3. There is no impact on the surrounding neighborhood.
4. The design, location, and character of the new classrooms and
music room are appropriate and meet City plans and policies.
Staff, therefore, recommends approval of Lopez Elementary School,
Classroom and Music Room Addition, Site Plan Advisory Review, #84-
93.

Lopez Elementary School - Advisory Site Plan Review
January 24, 1994 P & Z Meeting
Page 2
COMMENTS:
1. Background•
The surrounding zoning and land uses are as follows:
N: R-L-P; Single Family
S: R-L; Single Family and Troutman Park
E: R-L-P; Single Family and Troutman Park
W: R-L-P; Single Family
Lopez Elementary School was built in 1985 and 1986. It is located
on 9.5 acres and shares a common boundary with Troutman Park. It
was constructed with 46,385 square feet for an anticipated capacity
of 546 students in grades K through 6. Presently, the enrollment
exceeds 546 and temporary modular classrooms provide overflow
space.
2. City's Right to Advisory Review:
The City's right to conduct an advisory review of school facilities
can be found in two sections of the Colorado Revised Statutes:
Section 22-32-124, and Section 31-23-209. Under these sections,
the Planning and Zoning Board is authorized to make a finding as to
the location, character, and extent of the public buildings and
structures relative to the adopted Master Plan of the City.
3. Land Use•
Public schools are a permitted use in the R-L-P, Low Density
Planned Zone District. The addition of four classrooms and music
room is considered to be complementary and compatible with the
purpose and function of a public school.
4. Neighborhood Compatibilit
The four new classrooms an$ music room will be constructed on the
north side of the existing building. The additions will fit
comfortably within the school grounds and not impose upon the
adjacent residential areas. The additions will have a negligible
impact on the surrounding area and are, therefore, found to be
compatible with the neighborhood.
