According to the Development Code Section 22.30.030, Table 3-10, it
is required that nine parking spaces be provided for the proposed
School Tutorial Center. This number constitutes a worst-case
scenario. Studies conducted of mixed-use developments such as
shopping centers, show lower parking needs for the whole
development than the sum of the individual uses due to patrons
visiting a shopping center for multiple purposes.
Based on the Parking Analysis and considering the current vacancies,
uses surrounding the proposed use, the peak hours and closure of
some of the uses at the time School/Tutorial classes are offered and
patrons' multiple purposes for visiting a shopping center, staff
determines that the parking spaces provided will be adequate to
support the proposed use and existing uses. Therefore, the design,
location, size and operation characteristics of the proposed use are
compatible with the existing and future land uses in the vicinity.

use being proposed including access, provision of utilities,
compatibility with adjoining land uses and the absence of physical
constraints

public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare, or injurious to
persons, property, or improvements in the vicinity and zoning district
in which the property is located;
As referenced above in Items (0 through (j), Advent Learning, LLC, as
conditioned herein will meet the City's minimum development
standards. Furthermore, prior to the issuance of any City permits, the
