time through the GDP Amendment. Any expansion of the use within the site will be evaluated through the same means as a by -right use, for which staff has the ability to review parking, building codes, circulation and other needs. Additionally, the proposal was evaluated for traffic impacts that would negatively impact the surrounding properties and transportation network. The street network in the area has capacity to accommodate the use as proposed, as well as if the use were expanded with the property. Therefore, staff finds that the site can accommodate this use, with the provision for circulation improvements in the Development Agreement, as - is. In addition to compliance with 17.72, the LMC also requires buffer zones around schools for liquor and marijuana establishments. There are currently no liquor or marijuana establishments within the required buffers around 168 Centennial Parkway (500 feet for liquor and 1000 feet for marijuana as stated in Section 9.72.070 and Section 17.16.237 of the LMC). Comprehensive Plan Policies Centennial Valley is an office park special district named in the Comprehensive Plan, described as suburban and consisting of large parcels. While the creation of a new parcel by subdividing an existing one does create a smaller parcel, the proposal does not affect the other elements of the Comp Plan such as neighborhood character, future trail connectivity, etcetera. The McCaslin Boulevard Small Area Plan includes this area with the Edge condition context which contemplates primarily office uses. The use of the property as a private school is compatible with office uses and consistent with other existing institutional uses within this area. Private schools maintain tax revenues consistent with other private institutional and office uses, therefore a fiscal impact analysis was not performed with this application. CDDSG The building at 168 Centennial Parkway was parked at a 4/1000 ratio. As stated above, while parking is typically confirmed during the building permit stage, staff reviewed the application materials and determined that the applicant is not expected to disproportionally impact the parking on the site. The property owner has been made aware of additional parking management options to address parking among tenants at the site and anticipates that permit review for parking will be sufficient. The CDDSG also specifies that "all schools and child care facilities having a capacity greater than 25 students shall incorporate drop-off areas" (page 20, Section 2.1.3 Passenger Drop -Off Areas). As a school with more than 25 students, this standard is relevant to the proposed use. However, due to Fusion Academy's nontraditional scheduling, staff determined that preemptive changes to the site plan to provide a designated drop-off area were not warranted at this time. However, based on the intent of this standard and in recognition of the specific circulation concerns for schools, staff supports the Centennial Valley GDP Amendment Page 5 of 12 PC — December 9, 2021 19
