All schools shall meet or exceed each of the standards outlined below or receive a written exception to one or more of the standards. Each exception shall require review and recommendation by the Planning Commission and approval of the City Council.

1. A school shall coordinate the siting of a new school with the municipality in which the school is to be located, to avoid or mitigate existing and potential traffic hazards to maximize school safety. Prior to the filing of a formal application by the affected school, the City may not disclose information obtained from a school regarding the consideration of, or intent to, purchase a school site or construct a school building, without first obtaining the consent of the school.
2. School site coordination. The school shall meet with the Mayor and City Council to coordinate the siting of a school. The coordination shall include, but not be limited to, 1) review all potential sites for the facility, 2) identify and compare the safety of all sites, and 3) categorize and measure (to the extent possible) the impact of each individual site.
   
   For purposes of siting such building in compliance with Utah State Law, the Mayor and City Council shall be deemed to exclusively represent the municipality (Alpine City). Such findings and such reports shall not be deemed to constitute approval of the City for a building. Each building is subject to all of the relevant City ordinances pertaining to the application, review, and approval for such a building.
   
   
3. Any addition of square footage shall constitute a remodel of the school facility and will require the school to abide by this ordinance.

A school shall have a front setback of not less than 50 feet, side setbacks of not less than 40 feet on each side, and a rear setback of not less than 50 feet.

A school shall have a height no greater than 34 feet as described in DCA 3.21.080. Chimneys, flagpoles, bell towers, television antennas, and similar ancillary structures not used for human occupancy shall be excluded in determining height, provided that no such ancillary structure shall extend to a height in excess of fifteen (15) feet above the ridgeline.

The bulk of a school building shall be defined as the ratio of total property acreage per thousand square feet of building footprint. A school shall have a bulk factor of not less than .150.

Example: 10-acre site with a building having a 65,000 square foot building footprint would have a bulk ratio of 0.153 and would be acceptable (10/65 = .153). However, a 5-acre site with a 40,000 square foot building footprint would have a bulk ratio of 0.125 and would not be acceptable.

A traffic study provided by the applicant shall be reviewed and accepted by the City Engineer. A school shall disclose to Alpine City the number of students at application by city as supporting documents.

No point of ingress and/or egress shall be located closer than 300 feet from another point of ingress and/or egress (measured from center line to center line) along the same public street. This requirement may be waived after a recommendation by the Planning Commission and approval by the City Council if the applicant can provide substantial evidence demonstrating that the proposed project will maintain safety standards and will not obstruct or impede traffic flow. This waiver shall only be granted upon a thorough review, ensuring that the proposal adheres to all safety protocols and does not negatively impact the transportation network or public welfare.
