The building shall be inspected by the city building official and fire marshal to verify compliance with all building and fire codes and identified violations must be addressed prior to issuance of new building permits for the property. 2. No vehicles associated with the school may be parked or queued in the city right-of-way or on a public street. 3. An amendment to this Conditional Use Permit will be required for future expansions/additions not shown on the site plan dated May 18, 2020. Background/Discussion The property is zoned Planned Unit Development (PUD) where Educational Institutions require a Conditional Use Permit (CUP). The applicant is seeking a CUP to operate a Montessori School in the upper floor of the existing structure located on the parcel. The lower level will maintain commercial operations. The school currently has 80 students enrolled for the 2020-2021 school year. They will have 8-10 full time staff, along with 4-6 volunteers during the day. Parking and Traffic The ordinance requires 6 parking stalls for the school and 17 stalls for the office space. The site provides 24 in the upper lot and 16 in the lower lot. The applicant indicates about 65% of the students will be bussed to the site while the other 35% of the students will be driven to the site or approximately 20 cars. The morning drop-off will be less demanding than the afternoon, when students are all typically picked up at once. The applicant has provided two staging exhibits they will be using; neither uses the public street for the queuing of vehicles.
