(A) The Institutional Site Re-Use District, as established in this subchapter, is intended to provide options for the practical utilization of abandoned but still viable school or other institutional buildings.
(B) Declining enrollments and consequent school closings present the community with the opportunity to make practical use of such abandoned but otherwise sound structures.
(C) A challenge is also presented as such buildings are frequently found in areas of residential character, thereby precluding their usage in obviously commercial or industrial fashion.
(D) The intent of this district is to clearly identify such sites, and to provide practical options for their use in a manner which will assure that surrounding residential or agricultural areas will not be impacted negatively.
