Parking The site is developed and includes 66 parking spaces. The facility includes 15 classrooms and the parking requirement for elementary/junior high schools is two (2) stalls for each classroom. The subject property has the minimum number of stalls required by ordinance. Approval of this application will shift enrollment numbers at the other two locations. The sixth grade facility has ample parking for an increase to enrollment,but an increase at the high school facility creates a parking requirement that cannot be satisfied with the current site plan. Assuming an equal distribution of students, the high school site needs additional parking spaces. The applicant notes in their narrative that among their three sites, they have the required number of spaces. Staff spoke with the applicant and they agreed to shift their parking demands to ensure on-street parking is not needed for their operation. Staff will work with Spectrum to ensure all parking needs will continue to be met on-site, and not utilize the street for day to day parking needs. A CUP amendment will be needed if parking becomes an issue in the future. Drop Off/Pick Up The applicant proposes to adjust their bus routes to consolidate pick up/drop offs for all three sites at one location. The desired location is along the east (northbound) curb on industrial circle, adjacent to the currently proposed site. See the attached site plan for the bus staging and the proposed crosswalk and sidewalks. The buses will exit the business park at the north intersection of Industrial Circle and Twin Lakes Road. In the past, staff has received complaints from the community regarding safety at both intersections of Industrial Circle and Twin Lakes Road. No improvements at these intersections are planned at this time. Students The applicant's narrative notes that they currently serve over 600 students in grades 6 to 12 between the two facilities. Current projections anticipate continued growth in enrollment through 2022 reaching a capacity of 1,000 students with the current buildings. The CUP would increase the enrollment cap. Number of Employees Spectrum currently employs about 140 people and after the expansion is complete they anticipate hiring an additional 20 to 50 employees. The staff will be split between the three facilities. Spectrum will flex their employee parking locations to ensure adequate off street parking is maintained at each site.
