A plan to build boarding houses for high school students in the Mill District was shelved by Riverstone International School on Friday. According to Andrew Derry, Head of School, the board voted unanimously to stop the project due to neighborhood opposition.
The plan called for three homes, similar in design to existing Mill District homes, that would house up to 10 students and two adults each. Since this type of housing is not permitted in the city's R-1-C zoning district, the school needed a conditional use permit in addition to city council approval. A meeting with affected neighbors on January 20 was the first step in the process. However, none of the approximately 40 Harris Ranch neighbors attending the meeting were in favor of the project.
