6.1A Page 5 City Review Process. Woodside Hills Christian Academy first submitted their application for a Use Permit on August 7, 2007. Applicants were notified at that time that school operations could not commence until the City completes its Use Permit review process. However, on August 29, 2007, WHCA opened the kindergarten through twelfth grade school with a student body of approximately 101 students without benefit of the required permits. Code enforcement activities began immediately following City notification of subject code violations, and over the following months the City worked with both the applicants and a number of concerned neighbors on interim measures to mitigate any adverse impacts to the student body as well as the immediate neighborhood, while the City proceeded with its review of the Use Permit application. The review process included a City- facilitated community meeting to gather input on the proposed pr~ect and the processing of a separate temporary Use Permit for the relocation of the 7th through 12 grade student population to a nearby church property for the remainder of the 2007-2008 school year in order to alleviate the potential for traffic, noise and safety concerns on the subject property. Following the November 2007 community meeting, a traffic study was commissioned during the Spring 2008 school semester for the subject property. During that time, the City worked with WHCA on revising the scope of the project to better understand the needs of the school as well as the concerns of the community in an effort to obtain a complete Use Permit application that could be presented at a public hearing (See Figure 3). The draft traffic study was completed in August 2008, and a follow-up community meeting was organized by the City to provide an update to the community including copies of the draft traffic study and information regarding the revised scope of work. Following that meeting, the City continued to work with the applicants to get additional information in order for the City to make an informed recommendation and move the project forward to a public hearing. Finally, on January 15, 2009, a public hearing was scheduled for the review of the Use Permit application by the Zoning Administrator.
