Parking Public elementary schools, junior high school, or similar private schools require two parking spaces for each classroom. The proposed plans show seven classrooms requiring 14 parking stalls. There site offers 41 parking stalls, 24 on the upper level and 17 on the lower level. Public Notice Staff received three emails (attached) from neighboring businesses outlining issues they have experienced since the school began operations. The two main issues are the level of noise the students make while utilizing the play area and objects being throw over the fence, either accidentally or on purpose. They suggested a taller solid fence and possibly moving the fence further from the property line. It was also suggested a playground be installed closer to the school building. The applicant indicated if screening/fencing becomes a condition,would it be possible to screen with coniferous trees along the existing fence and property line? This would create a natural screen and height barrier,would preserve critical play space (rather than 15 ft. setback) and would be more cost effective than a 7ft. opaque fence that would likely require ongoing maintenance. Applicable Regulations In approving a Conditional Use Permit,the council may impose such specific conditions with regard to the development or operation of the proposed use as it considers necessary to satisfy the seven standards set forth in Section 30-654 and the requirements contained in this article and to promote compatibility with and minimize any potentially adverse effects upon adjacent properties, the neighborhood or the city.

With the current operation,the use has been affecting the use and enjoyment of other properties in the immediate vicinity. The level of noise the students make while utilizing the play area has been obtrusive to the neighboring property. There have been several incidents of objects being thrown over the fence, either accidentally or on purpose. The neighboring businesses are concerned for the safety of employees and customers as well as property damage. Staff recommends a 7-foot-tall opaque fence be installed across the entire south property line with a setback of 15-feet to establish a visual buffer and reduce conflicts with objects going over the fence. 2. mill be consistent with the comprehensive plan.
