Title
RECOMMENDATIONS TO BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS ON REQUEST TO AMEND AN EXISTING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, AND TO TOWN COUNCIL ON REQUEST FOR MODIFICATIONS OF SITE PLAN REQUIREMENTS, FOR GREEN HEDGES SCHOOL, LOCATED AT 415 WINDOVER AVE NW, IN THE RS-12.5 ZONING DISTRICT.

...Body
This item is a continuation of the discussions from January 14, 2026, and January 28, 2026, regarding two applications from the Green Hedges School to 1) amend an existing Conditional Use Permit (CUP), and 2) request modifications of site plan requirements.

At the January 28, 2026 meeting, the Planning Commission heard an updated presentation from the applicant, asked clarifying questions of staff, and discussed issues related to enrollment, noise mitigation, buffering, and site operations. The Commission did not reach consensus at that time and agreed to continue the discussion to the February 11, 2026, meeting to allow staff, in coordination with and independent of, the applicant, to develop draft conditions and options reflecting the issues raised.

Attachment 1, the Staff Report Addendum for February 11, 2026, summarizes new information and includes a list of materials submitted since the January 28 meeting as well as the additional attachments to this report.

Background materials, staff reports, presentations, and public comments from the January 14 and January 28, 2026 meetings remain part of the public record and are available through the Town's meeting agenda links for those dates.
