Re: Pre-application (PRE 2008-03) 901 Campisi Way
Dear Ms. Wagner:
Thank you for your submittal of a preliminary application for the establishment of a
charter school for 350 students (6-12 grades) in approximately 20,000 square feet of an
existing 3 story office building on the referenced property. The project site is zoned P-D
(Planned Development) and is shown as a mixed land use (Office/Commercial/High
Density Residential) on the City's General Plan. The establishment of a school use will
require approval of an Administrative Planned Development Permit application
(enclosed). The processing time for an application is approximately 45 to 60 days and
is considered by the Community Development Director at a public hearing. Due to the
size of the proposed school and its location in a previously approved office building the
Director would recommend the referral of this application to the Planning Commission
for consideration.
The following preliminary comments are offered:
A) Staff is concerned regarding the adequacy of parking and circulation facilities. A
preliminary review of parking facilities indicates a parking ratio of 1:247. It is
important that the parking area address the pickup and drop off needs of the
school as well as the longer term parking needs of staff and students.
B) Need for additional disposal and recycling facilities.
C) The impact of outdoor recreation facilities (basketball court) on the use of the
parking and circulation areas.
Your pre-application was distributed to the Building Division, the Public Works
Department and the County Fire Department. Their comments are enclosed. Please
note that all comments are meant to be preliminary. Conditions of approval from each
department will be developed at the time a formal application is submitted.
The Public Works Department is recommended that a focused traffic study be prepared
as outlined in the enclosed memorandum.
