A proposal to convert a former Mitchell elementary school into an apartment complex with some possible businesses located there as well will come before the Mitchell Planning and Zoning Commission Monday.
Brad Ciavarella is seeking a conditional use permit to construct apartment housing at 410 W. Second Ave., the old Whittier Elementary School. The building is zoned for neighborhood shopping.
The school opened in 1935. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997. The school district closed the school many years ago and it later housed a daycare.
In other business, the commission will:
* Review the application of Glen Vilhauer for variances for a side yard setback to match existing garage, a backyard setback from the alley, and an oversized garage at 1105 W. Sixth Ave. The request is being made because the side yard, backyard setbacks and height limitations are not being met.

* Review the application of Jerry and Pam Thomsen for variances for a roadside setback to construct a detached garage, and for a future attached garage at 214 N. Harmon Drive. The request is being made because the roadside, side yard setbacks and height limitations are not being met.
* Review the application of Ron and Linda Parks for variances to construct a detached garage at 313 Milan Ave. The request was made because the side yard and backyard setbacks are not being met.
