Clear Lake council to consider rezoning former Sunset Elementary property for private school

CLEAR LAKE — The Clear Lake City Council tonight will hold a public hearing on the rezoning of the former Sunset Elementary School building so it can be used by the Clear Lake Classical private school as their new building.

The building’s owner Dolly James LLC of Cedar Falls has asked that the property be rezoned from public to medium-density single-family residential so it could be used as a private school.

The city’s Planning and Zoning Commission last week voted to recommend to the council approving the zoning change. Even if the zoning change is approved, Clear Lake Classical would have to apply for a conditional use permit with the city’s Board of Adjustment to operate on the property. 

The Clear Lake City Council meets at 6 o’clock tonight at City Hall.
