ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT This project is categorically exempt (Section 15301, Existing Facilities, Class 1; Section 15303, New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures, Class 3; and Section 15304, Minor Alterations to Land, Class 4) from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Therefore, no environmental document accompanies this report. CONCLUSION Staff believes that the required CUP findings for the Heritage School can be met if the project is approved as conditioned and the proposed outdoor playground area is eliminated. Conditions of approval have been included which will ensure that the safety and general welfare of the surrounding area is maintained. Staff is of the opinion that the proposed Heritage School would provide a service to the community and that the proposed location is appropriate. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve Case P14-0970, the modification of the CUP for the Heritage School, but deny the CUP modification for the proposed outdoor playground area, and deny P14-1173, the Design Review application for the proposed outdoor playground area, by taking the following actions: 1) Make the required CUP findings for the modification of the CUP for the Heritage School as listed in the staff report; 2) Determine that the CUP findings for the outdoor playground area cannot be made as described in the staff report; 3) Approve Case P14-0970 for the modification of the CUP for the Heritage School subject to the conditions listed in Exhibit A and deny the CUP modification for the proposed outdoor playground area; and 4) Deny Case P14-1173, for the Design Review application for the proposed outdoor playground area.
