Overview At the April 21, 2003 City Council meeting,the applicant was granted an amendment to the Elk River Plaza PUD to allow a Montessori School as a Conditional Use within the PUD. The applicant would like operate a Montessori School in the Elk River Plaza. The location of the proposed facility will be in the multi-tenant building that contains LaRose's Pizza and the karate school. In the past,facilities similar to this have been allowed in locations with similar characteristics. Horizons Daycare is located in a Highway Commercial area; near retail spaces with an outdoor play area surrounded by vehicular circulation. At the staff site plan review meeting,the number of possible vehicles,the location of the play area,the poor circulation that exists in the parking lot and the poor access to the site were discussed. After visiting the site, staff feels that the play area's proximity to Highway 169 is not a concern. Also the fact that it is across a parking lot,does not seem to be a concern, as the • traffic is primarily for employees and not general traffic.
