It is Staff’s opinion that the applicant’s proposal will permit a use that is suitable in view of the use and development of adjacent and nearby properties. The area contains a mixture of residential uses, a public school, another religious facility and some commercially zoned property. The applicant has the required infrastructure relating to parking and drop-off/pick-up facilities. The applicant is already running the Pre-K program for the members of the congregation, and the proposal would add an insignificant number of non-member children to the program. The property has been used for an institutional use for many years prior to this request.
ECCA position: No Action
Planning Commission Action: Approved 5-0
Board of Commissioners Action (unoffical): Approved 5-0 subject to staff recommendations and the stipulation letter from the applicant dated 2/24/09.
