Conditional Use - Advanced Scholars Christian Academy - 616 Orange Avenue

Brandon C. Creagan, LEED Green Associate, Planner

Staff recommends that the Planning Board forward a recommendation to the City Commission for approval of the Application for Conditional Use with No New Construction to operate a private K-8 school that will  accommodate 135 (one hundred thirty five) students. In finding of consistency with the Land Development Code and compatibility with the City’s Comprehensive Plan, staff recommends the following conditions:

1. Landscape improvements must be made to the property to bring the site into compliance with City Code 22-187 (4). This improvement must be completed prior to receiving a Certificate of Occupancy.
2. A pavement marking plan that implements the traffic flow plan must be submitted with the building permit.
3. A lighting plan or photometric survey must be submitted that verifies lighting in the parking lot in accordance with City Code 22-60 (j). This plan must be submitted with the building permit.
4. Signed and sealed drawings that are to scale must be submitted with the building permit that shows the change to an “E” occupancy.
5. The applicant coordinates and permits appropriate crosswalk and school zone signs along the Avenue A corridor to notify drivers of an active school zone. This must be completed before a Certificate of Occupancy can be issued.
