PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant is requesting a Hearing Examiner Conditional Use Permit (CUP)
for the expansion of a private school currently operating in at 200 Mill Ave S in multi-story, multi-tenant building. The
building also seeks to host a small worship group (under 20 people) on Monday's on the floor. The use would be classified
as a "religious institution". No building additions or changes to the site are proposed. A Hearing Examiner CUP was
approved in 2014 under LUA14-000669. The original CUP allowed for the use of two floors with up to 125 students. The
applicant is seeking to expand into an additional floor and allow for the enrollment of up to 240 students. The first and
third floors of the building currently house classrooms and other associated school services. The applicant has proposed
utilization of the fourth floor for a makerspace in order to enable the students to gain hands-on experience in fields such
as art, robotics, virtual/augmented reality, and more. The proposal is considered a major revision to the original CUP
(and therefore requires a new CUP) due to the proposal involving more than a ten percent (10%) increase in area or
intensity of the use. Access to the site would remain off of Mill Ave S. Critical areas mapped on-site include steep slopes,
seismic hazards, and the floodplain of the Cedar River. The proposed internal tenant improvements include the addition
of a new interior exit door on the fourth floor and various other improvements associated with the creation of a hands-
on space. The applicant submitted a Traffic Study with the application. No trees or vegetation are proposed for removal.
