EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Crosspoint Church requests CUP and Design Review approvals to establish a 49-student preschool at its existing religious facility and construct a new outdoor playground in the front of the building and associated site improvements. The project site is located within Hacienda, where preschools require Planning Commission review and approval of a CUP.

After review of the proposal, staff believes it is consistent with the intent of the zoning district and Hacienda's regulations and will be compatible with the surrounding uses, and therefore recommends approval of the CUP and Design Review applications. urant would remain open. Mr. Tassano confirmed. Ms. Denis then asked if staff had studied closing off the driveway. Mr. Tassano stated it would be difficult eliminating access points that have already been established. Commissioner Brown brought up the traffic at the intersection of Hopyard Road at Owens Drive and asked if the replacement of the Specialty's restaurant would cause more congestion at the intersection. Mr. Tassano agreed the area could be precarious to navigate, and stated the solution would be to post 'Do Not Enter' signs so as not to allow vehicles to enter in that direction, which was not normally done unless there was a problem on the street. Commissioner Brown stated it could be addressed when a new business entered the former Specialty's Restaurant site. Mr. Tassano stated the only way the City could change it was if something new was going in that space. Ms. Denis clarified the driveway was owned by the Burger King property and it could be reviewed if Burger King redeveloped. Mr. Tassano discussed the issue with people driving straight off the curb.
