BACKGROUND On June 11, 2014, the applicant requested a modification of an existing CUP to convert a previously approved tutoring facility with a maximum of 30 students into a Heritage School with a maximum of 30 students and to construct a new outdoor playground area at the subject site. The application was reviewed by the Planning Commission at a public hearing held on November 12, 2014. At that meeting, the Planning Commission agreed with staffs recommendation, and approved the Heritage School, but denied the outdoor playground area. This action was subsequently appealed by Young Ivy Academy and the appeal is currently before the City Council for review and action. For additional background information, please refer to the November 12, 2014 Planning Commission staff report in Attachment 4 and Planning Commission meeting minutes in Attachment 3.
