Zonin Hg istory:
On March 14, 2007 the Board of Supervisors, upon a recommendation of approval from
the Planning Commission, approved a conditional use request to permit a child day care
center use in conjunction with the existing church use on the property (Case 07SN0217).
The conditions approved for the child care center use are still in place and are similar to
the conditions recommended for this request.
Development Standards:
The request property has been developed as a church with associated parking facilities.
The applicant intends to use the existing facilities to accommodate the school use. The
conditions would require any new development for private school use to conform to the
development standards of the Ordinance for commercial uses in Emerging Growth Areas,
and require specific setbacks for active recreational areas for the private school use
(Conditions 1 through 3). Emerging Growth Standards address architectural treatment,
access, parking, landscaping, setbacks, signs, utilities and screening of dumpsters and
oa ing areas.
CONCLUSION
The proposed private school use would have no greater impact on existing and anticipated area
residential development than the permitted church use. In addition, the recommended conditions
address land use compatibility issues between the proposed use and area residential
development. Similar facilities, located adjacent to residential areas, have been approved
throughout the County with no apparent adverse impact on the residential uses.
Given these considerations, approval of this request is recommended.
CASE HISTORY
