STAFF COMMENTS:
Conditional use permits are granted by the Commission, subject to appropriate conditions
and safeguards, when the Commission finds:
A. That the proposed use meets. all the. minimum standards established in the Zoning
Ordinance for this type of use;
B. That the proposed use is in harmony with the purpose and intent. of the zoning
ordinance and the plan for physical development of the district as embodied in the
comprehensive plan for the development of the City;
C. That the proposed use will not be detrimental to the health, welfare, and safety of
the surrounding'neighborhood or its. occupants, nor be substantially or permanently
injurious to neighboring property.
(See sec. 14, Ordinance 1638)
The P.R.C. reviewed this project on April 27 and expressed no concerns other than a desire to
know the exact location of the lease space. This information should be provided before P&Z.
The Zoning Ordinance requires that a Conditional Use Permit be issued for all schools. This
process ensures adequate review of'parking and congestion issues.. In this case, the applicant is
asking for approval to teach up to 25 students at a time. Much of her business will be conducted
between the hours of 6 and 10 p.m. Staff has no concern if the Use .Permit is conditioned on a
maximum .of 25 students. Granting a Use Permit with the condition that 25 students be the
maximum meets with no concern on the art of Staff.
