June 1, 1993 <br /> Zoning Change/Conditional Use <br /> Development Time Schedule <br /> The development timetable depends on a number of factors, <br /> including the final zoning approval by Dane County, possible <br /> conditional use permit approval by Dane County, <br /> extraterritorial zoning approval by the City of Madison as well <br /> as architectural, engineering and environmental studies of the <br /> building. Assuming the above contingies are met, we anticipate <br /> an effective date of no later than September 1 , 1993. <br /> After the approvals noted above, the initial development would <br /> consist of a dormitory facility, which would be the only <br /> development until September of 1995 . Food service for the <br /> students as well as some indoor recreational facilities may be <br /> provided as well. Some building remodeling would take place <br /> during this initial period. <br /> Beginning with the fall of 1995 , the building would be used for <br /> the MJCB campus, including classrooms, library, computer lab, <br /> and administrative space plus the onsite housing. Their current <br /> student body consists of approximately 200 students . <br /> Suitability for Proposed Use <br /> The Yahara Center was constructed in 1976 as a religious <br /> education facility for the Adult Christian Education Foundation, <br /> Inc. The building consists of 64 small "hotel" type rooms <br /> capable of sleeping 144 people, four meeting rooms, and <br /> dining/kitchen facilities for 225 people. At the time of <br /> construction, the religious use by the ACEF was a permited use <br /> in R-1 zoning and is now a conditional use. <br /> The use by the Madison Junior College of Business, while not <br /> religious in nature, will be consistent with the educational use <br /> of the building under the operation of the ACEF. The nature of <br /> the oniste residents will be changed from transient to a <br /> semester to semester basis wtih some reduction in numbers. The <br /> classroom/educational capacity of the building will remain <br /> approximately the same (300+ people) . The interior will be <br /> remodeled slighltly to convert some sleeping rooms to classrooms <br /> and one large meeting room to a library. <br />
