Resolution No. 2025-32 Page 3 of 11 scale, limited to four classrooms and one laboratory with a maximum capacity of 32 students, and is intended primarily to retain existing students rather than generate substantial new enrollment. Traffic, parking demand, and noise levels are expected to remain consistent with current operations, as dismissal times are already staggered and closely managed by staff to ensure orderly circulation. In addition, playground and campus activities are existing uses that will continue to comply with the City’s noise ordinance and will be buffered by setbacks, perimeter walls, and landscaping.

Furthermore, conditions of approval will
