<br /> walk (approximately one-half mile), from the subject property. Accordingly, the Planning
<br /> Commission does not believe granting a variance for allowing all required on-site parking,
<br /> off-site, at an alternate location not adjoining the subject site would constitute the granting
<br /> of a special privilege inconsistent with other properties in the same zoning district.
<br /> C. That the granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety
<br /> or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity.
<br /> The applicant is proposing a maximum of 25 students at any one time (current enrollment is
<br /> 10 students and historically has been under 20 students at any one time). There would be a
<br /> maximum of four staff (three teachers and one administrator) on-site at any one time.
<br /> Collectively, a maximum of 29 persons would be on-site at any one time. Relative to the
<br /> existing church activities and the significantly larger attendance numbers associated with
<br /> the church activities, staff believes the existing impacts of the church during its weekly
<br /> religious services are and would continue to far outweigh the impacts of the proposed
<br /> school operations on weekdays. The applicant is proposing to limit the number of trips and
<br /> vehicles arriving/departing the site daily by requiring all staff to park off-site and by also by
<br /> requiring all students to walk, use alternative transportation (such as bicycles), take transit,
<br /> or be dropped off/picked up by parents/guardians and not allow any students of driving age
<br /> to transport themselves to/from school in that manner. As described in the agenda report,
<br /> the Traffic Engineering Division observed the project area and determined adequate public
<br /> parking exists at drop-off and pick-up times to support the proposed use without any
<br /> significant impacts to the surrounding area. Therefore, the Planning Commission believes
<br /> granting the proposed variance would not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or
<br /> general welfare or materially injurious to properties in the area.
<br /> D. That neither present nor anticipated future traffic volumes generated by the use of
<br /> the site or the uses of sites in the vicinity reasonably require strict or literal
<br /> interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulation.
<br /> As described in the agenda report, the Traffic Engineering Division has reviewed the
<br /> project narrative and plan and determined the proposed private school would not have
<br /> significant impacts on the existing or future traffic levels, circulation, and parking. During
<br /> their parking availability/occupancy survey, the Traffic Engineering Division noted limited
<br /> occupancy of the available public parking during the anticipated drop-off and pick-up time
<br /> periods leading staff to conclude adequate public parking is available to support the
<br /> proposed use provided the private school staff parking is provided on-site and/or at an
<br /> alternate location. The applicant is proposing to meet their parking requirements by
<br /> providing, in perpetuity with the proposed uses' operation, adequate off-site parking at an
<br /> alternate location within walking distance of the subject site. The Planning Commission
<br /> believes the applicant is proposing a reasonable solution to the on-site parking challenges
<br /> and therefore, deviating from a strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of PMC
<br /> Section 18.88.050 should not be required.
<br />first finding can be made.
