City Council Meeting · 2026-04-14 · agenda_item

A vocational school is planned for a portion of a property located on the south side of Aurora Road, east and west of Ferndale Avenue, west of League Avenue (1619 Ferndale Avenue). The project proposes to renovate existing buildings on a 0.75-acre section of a larger 3.49-acre site. The property is currently zoned for single-family residential use with conditional use for a church and school, as well as neighborhood commercial. This item is currently under review, having passed its second reading and public hearing. The project involves renovating existing structures for the school and potentially includes dormitory facilities for students. This work would likely involve site preparation, interior renovations, and potentially utility upgrades. Local contractors, trades, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to engage early to understand the project scope as plans and permits are finalized, as this offers the best opportunity to compete for upcoming work.
