ATTACHMENTS: YES
BACKGROUND:
On June 19, 2012, the Planning Commission held a public hearing for the Community Christian Academy special use permit
request. The Commission, by a vote of 5:0, recommended approval of the special use permit with conditions as recommended
by staff, and as amended. (See Action Letter)
DISCUSSION:
Classes at the school begin at 8:15 a.m. and end at 3:00 p.m. However, there is an extended day program which
allows children to be dropped off at the school as early as 7:40 a.m. and picked up by 6:00 p.m. Condition 4 is revised
to include the hours of the extended day program. Also, when the Planning Commission staff report was written, the
site was not in compliance with the landscaping shown on the approved site plan, dated 4- 14 -87. During the Planning
Commission public hearing the applicant explained that the outstanding landscape issues have been addressed. Staff
has confirmed this; therefore, condition 1 is now revised to eliminate landscaping as a major element on the site plan.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of Special Use Permit 201200004 with the following revised conditions:
1. The existing building and use shall be in general accord with the site plan titled Alliance Bible Church "Community
Christian Academy" prepared by Roudabush, Greene, & Gale and date approved 4 -14 -87 (hereafter "Site Plan "),
as determined by the Director of Planning and the Zoning Administrator. To be in accord with the Site Plan, the
existing building and use shall reflect the following major elements within the site essential to the design of the
site, as shown on the Site Plan:
Location of buildings, uses, and structures
Location of parking areas
Location of outdoor play area
Relation of buildings and parking to the street; and
Site access
Minor modifications to the plan which do no conflict with the elements above may be made to ensure compliance
with the Zoning Ordinance.
2. Maximum enrollment shall be 85 children.
3. All students shall be over the age of 2'/2 years old.
4. Hours of operation for the school shall be between 7:40 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., except that occasional school - related
