The addition is necessary to develop future classrooms for increased enrollment at this site. Pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21151.2, we are requesting Planning Commission review of the proposed site acquisition. We are, of course, hoping that the Planning Commission will find the site addition to be compatible with the City's General Plan. As you may recall, this property was already subject to a zone change to facilitate its ultimate development as part of the Coyote Canyon school site. We look forward to receiving written comment on this request and thank you for your continued cooperation and support of Central School District.
