Background /Discussion The applicant is seeking approval of a CUP to establish an Institutional Use (school) at 17823 Industrial Circle. The subject property is zoned Business Park (BP) where schools are listed as a conditional use. In 2011 the applicant received a CUP to operate a school at 17796 Industrial Circle, and in 2014 they received approval for a second location at 11044 Industrial Circle for a sixth grade facility, and expansion of their previous student cap. They are now seeking to expand into a third location, further expanding educational opportunities, and relocating grades seven and eight. The expansion also proposes to increase the student cap for all of Spectrum's facilities to 1,000 students, add gym space, and sets aside space for a future auditorium and athletic facility. The location operated as WS Packaging until recently, and Spectrum will purchase the property, which includes a large open area on the south half of the lot, if the CUP is approved. Site Plan The site is developed and includes a parking lot on the north and west sides of the building. A loading dock and paved parking area is located in the rear (east) side of the building. And the south half of the lot is currently undeveloped. The current application includes a gym addition on the east side of the building. The expansion will need to comply with all city ordinances, including setbacks, stormwater management, and fire lane access. 4A UR
