Also consider the Negative Declaration prepared for the project. Adam Weinstein presented the staff report and described the scope, layout, and key elements of the proposal. Commissioner O'Connor referred to Mr. Weinstein's statement that the existing school has 120 students, as opposed to a letter the Commission received earlier today that talked about the existing school having 150 students. He asked staff to clarify. Mr. Weinstein replied that the school currently has a state license for 120 students, in addition to an after - school program that allows for 30 students that does not require a State license at this time. He indicated that the applicant can provide clarification in that respect. He added that because of the summer months, the actual number of students occupying the school at this time is probably substantially less than 120. Commissioner Nagler noted that based on the school's history, the number of students allowed by City when the school use was originally permitted was up to 200. Mr. Weinstein confirmed that was correct. He stated that the larger enrollment number was first approved for a different project and in a different context, and there was a lot more parking provided on the site then. He indicated that staff's determination of the appropriate baseline for student enrollment was based on what other uses are happening on this particular project site, other residential uses being proposed on the project site, and the amount of parking provided on the project site as parking in schools is obviously a really big issue. Mr. Weinstein explained that staff started with the Code requirements that require a certain number of parking spaces, and then looked at what additional parking might be PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, August 12, 2015 Page 3 of 34
