Appeal Application No. 2025-02 — Forty Martyrs Armenian Church Middle School (5311 <br /> W. McFadden Avenue) <br /> promote a complete neighborhood by providing school uses to the surrounding <br /> residential community within the vicinity. The school will act as an added service <br /> for the neighboring properties and nearby neighborhoods. <br /> The proposed school expansion does not include additional outdoor activities that <br /> would intensify or materially alter the existing on-site operations. The school's <br /> current hours of operation will remain unchanged. Furthermore, the expansion <br /> does not propose additional exterior lighting, as the majority of on-site activities <br /> occur during regular business hours and daylight conditions. Lastly, the proposed <br /> school expansion is located approximately 230 linear feet from the residence at <br /> 5401 W. Tampion Avenue, providing adequate separation from the residence. <br /> 6.

This review focuses on confirming that the proposed project <br /> incorporates required accessibility features appropriate to the project's occupancy <br /> type, including but not limited to accessible routes, ramps, and other necessary <br /> accommodations. Moreover, projects that include residential development are <br /> evaluated for compliance with FHA regulations to ensure that the project does not <br /> result in discriminatory housing practices and provides required accessibility <br /> features where applicable. <br /> The City's review of a new development project is limited to evaluating the <br /> proposed project itself and ensuring that it meets all applicable federal, state, and <br /> local nondiscrimination and accessibility standards. The City is not required to <br /> evaluate or enforce ADA or FHA compliance of surrounding properties as part of <br /> the project approval process. Conditions or accessibility features on adjacent or <br /> nearby properties that are not part of a project do not affect the City's determination <br /> regarding compliance or approval of a proposed project. <br /> 7.
