4.0 BACKGROUND: 4.1 Section 1012.09A states: the City Council may authorize an interim use permit of property. Interim use may not be consistent with the land uses designated on the adopted Land Use Plan. They may also fail to meet all of the zoning standards established for the district within which it is located. 4.2 Section 1012.09B states: the City Council may attach conditions to interim use permits. In reviewing interim use permit applications, the City will establish a specific date or event that will terminate the use on the property. The Council will also determine that the approval of the interim use would not result in adverse effects on the public health, safety and general welfare, and that it will not impose additional costs on the public if it is necessary for the public to take the property in the future. 4.3 Family Academy Charter School has seen a steady increase in enrollment since 2000 and has determined that there is a need for a special education in the community. Further, Family Academy is interested in piloting a program for preschool children who are hard of hearing or deaf. 4.4 In July of2000, Family Academy received an Interim Use Permit to place a 72 foot by 126 foot modular classroom building in the parking lot east of the church/school.

They have determined a need for four additional classrooms outside of the existing (limited) classroom space within Advent Lutheran Church, and have proposed installing a 56 foot by 72 foot (two units - 4,032 sq. ft.) modular classroom building on the south side of the school portion ofthe church. 5.2 The four classroom modular structure would house 6t\ ih, and 8th grade children; the units, attached to create one large classroom setting, would be sited in close proximity to the building entry; include skirting around the base; be handicapped accessible (ramped); and would not obstruct or eliminate on-site parking. 5.3 The proposed placement of the modular classroom structure south of the school on the grass will result in no loss of on-site parking, nor will the proposed use hamper on-site traffic movements. Roof drainage from the modular classroom must be directed south or east, away from existing buildings onto the grass. 5.4 The proposed interim use of the property for temporary classrooms will have a minimal impact on on-site parking (increased demand for teachers and parents) and traffic in the PF3392 - ReA 061702 - Page 2 of 5
