Special Consideration: In 2014, the K-8 private school use was approved with conditions as a special exception use. City Council enforced the condition that “The school and the daycare shall operate on staggered timings”. The k-8 private school use and enclosed assembly under 3,000 square feet (daycare) are now uses deemed permitted by right. A daycare is not operational onsite. Staff requests that the City Council remove this condition.

 

Location of Project: 1592 SE Floresta Drive, generally located at the northwest corner of Floresta Drive and Damask Avenue.
