Milwaukee zoning committee effectively votes against for-profit nursing college

Contradicting advice from the Department of City Development, a Milwaukee zoning committee on Thursday voted to effectively deny a request to allow the Arizona College of Nursing, a for-profit out-of-state school, to operate out of a building in the city.

The Arizona College of Nursing has already taken several steps to open a school at 9000 W. Chester St. in western Milwaukee. Because college or university isn’t listed among the “permitted uses” for the building, the college has been following a three-step city approval process so it can begin holding classes.
