Orange County — Board of Zoning Adjustment

SE-17-06-051 — CHRISTIAN LEARNING ACADEMY

Request: Special Exception in the A-1 zoning district to convert existing residence into a private school for up to 40 students, grades K-12. (Note: The applicant wants to convert a residence into 1 classroom building. No new vertical construction is proposed.)

Decision: Approved

Hearing: The applicant operates a private school adjacent to the north. He owns property adjacent to the south. He wants to convert the old house into a classroom building for up to 40 additional students. Additional parking will be provided. Staff advised the BZA that there is an elementary school located directly across Roger Williams Rd. and that the neighborhood is already coping with those impacts. Staff supports this request because the proposal is minimal with minor impacts. The applicant spoke briefly about his request. He agreed with the conditions of approval. The BZA concluded this request was reasonable and the most impacted property owner submitted a letter of no objection. There was no opposition.
