Resolution No. PC-2008-02 approving PTR-7940 was entered and adopted as motioned. 6. PUBLIC HEARINGS AND OTHER MATTERS 5.a. PCUP-207, Sylvan Learning Center Application for a conditional use permit to operate a tutoring center for more than 20 students at an existing building located at 6654 Koll Center Parkway, Suite 185. Zoning for the property is PUD-I/C-O (Planned Unit Development - Industrial/ Commercial-Office) District. Ms. Rondash summarized the staff report, and described the background, scope, and layout of the proposed project. She noted that the applicant had raised some concerns about the conditions of approval. In response to an inquiry by Commissioner Narum regarding how the proposed conditions of approval compared to the conditions of approval at the existing Hopyard location, Ms. Rondash replied that she was not familiar with the conditions of approval for the Hopyard location. Ms. Decker noted that staff generally analyzed the proposed site and recommended conditions that reflected the narrative submitted to staff. She added that it was likely the approval for the existing facility was based on the narrative at that time and were reflected the conditions of approval for operations, hours, etc. She noted that the applicant was concerned about several items that were standard conditions of approval that have been required within the last eight to ten months, specifically, ensuring that adults actually escort children in and out of facilities and signing the children into and out of the facilities. She noted that with respect to Condition No. 10, there have been discussions at Planning Commission hearings regarding the appropriate ages for tutoring facilities with respect to signing in and out. The Planning Commission had typically accepted that children older than 12 years do not need to have a parent sign them in due to their ability to go to the facility by themselves. Staff would support a modification to Condition No. 10 with respect to the age issue consistent with previous approvals. In response to an inquiry by Commissioner Narum regarding whether there were any concerns or complaints at the current location, Ms. Decker replied that there were none that staff was aware of.
