The Planning Commission considered a request to modify the conditional use permit
for a high school located within the R- 1 zone, including a site plan review for the
demolition of a 9,036 SF church building and proposing a new 7,500 SF facility in its
place, featuring two classrooms, an administrative area, and a covered canopy, to
continue serving the existing school on the property. The request also included an
administrative adjustment to the off-street parking requirements, seeking a 12%
