Claire Schweigerstaffevening married in council tonight we're discussing a special use permit request for Providence Elementary School we're currently in the public hearing phase of the development review process we did not conduct a briefing or a work session on this proposal since it's an extension of an existing special use permit. So the applicant is requesting a special use permit to allow the extension of a previously approved special use permit for an expansion of schools, elementary, middle, and high to allow continued use of modular temporary classrooms at Providence Elementary School. This is the location of the subject property. Providence Elementary School is located along Germantown Road. subject property is the city county line in I-66 and across Germantown Road is

approved an expansion of schools elementary middle and high for five years and the expansion that I'm referring to here is just to allow the temporary classrooms that were approved in 2008 to continue to be used. So now the applicant is coming back to request an extension of the special use permit approved in 2019. In 2019, the projected student enrollment for Providence Elementary School was 897 students. Enrollment for the 2024 918 students and the applicant has indicated that the additional classroom space is requested to continue to accommodate general education students as well as multiple programs including English for speakers of other languages special education advanced academics and title one and after I give my

presentation I believe representative of the school board is here to speak to give more context on why the renewal is being requested so staff recommends approval of the special use permit with the condition that the special use shall be valid for a period of eight years. The way we got to the eight year extension was through conversations with the superintendent and with the bond referendum that was passed with the last election, eight years should give the school board time to make the improvements to the schools so that a renewal will not be necessary in the future once we've reached the eight year time limit. So that concludes my presentation. I'll invite Mr. Plattenberg and Mr. Phillips

Claire SchweigerstaffAlright, so similar to the last item on the agenda, we're discussing a special use permit request for Fairfax High School. We're currently in the public hearing phase of the development review process. The applicant is requesting a special use permit to allow the extension of a previously approved special use permit for an expansion of schools elementary, middle, and high to allow continued use of modular temporary classrooms at Fairfax High School. This is where the high school is located. It's located to the north of Blenheim Boulevard and to the south of Fairfax Boulevard. Zoning of the subject property is residential medium in the architectural control overlay district. The comprehensive plan's future land use designation is green social and civic network.

This place type includes public and private schools, public spaces, such as active and passive parks, playing fields, and other public facilities. Here are some photos of the temporary classrooms. they're located on the east side of the high school and within the parking lot so for some background in 2012 City Council approved an expansion of a governmental use for two years and then in 2014 City Council approved continued use of the expansion of a governmental use to allow temporary modular classrooms for five years and in 2019 City Council approved an expansion of schools elementary middle and high for five years so now the applicant is coming back to request an extension of the special use permit approved in 2019

and 2019 the projected student enrollment enrollment for Fairfax high school was 2,243 students enrollment for the 2425 school year was 200 or 2,401 students and the applicant indicates that this that this is 99% program The applicant has indicated that the additional classroom space is requested to continue to accommodate advanced placement classes and the in-school suspension program and a study hall. so staff recommends approval of the special use permit with the conditions that the special use permit shall be valid for a period of eight years and that the sheds in the parking lot in proximity to the temporary classrooms shall be removed out of any required parking spaces so similar to the

elementary school conditional approval staff expects that after eight years the quads would be phased out the second condition is referring to two sheds that are located within required parking spaces in the parking lot as far as we know the high school did not obtain permits to construct these two structures and since they're located in required parking spaces that are intended to be utilized as parking they should be removed and so with that staff recommends approval the special use permit with the two conditions and that concludes my presentation and I'll again invite a mr. pottenberg up to speak

Stacey Hardy-Chandlermove that the City Council approve the request of the city of Fairfax school board applicant for special use permit pursuant to city code section 110 dash 3.3 dot 1 schools elementary middle high use to allow temporary expansion of fairfax high school using modular temporary classrooms in the rm residential medium zoning on the premises known as 3501 lion run and more particularly described as tax map parcel 58-1-02-003 subject to the following conditions this special use permit sup shall be valid for a period of eight years to the sheds in the parking lot in proximity to the temporary be removed out of any required parking spaces is
