ITEM NO. 2 PACIFICA CHRISTIAN HIGH SCHOOL USE PERMIT (PA2023-0237) Site Location: 1499 Monrovia Avenue, 883 West 15 th Street, 1515 Monrovia Avenue, 873 to 877 Production Place
Summary:
Pacifica Christian currently operates a high school and auxiliary campus with a maximum student enrollment of 385 and a maximum staff of 50. To provide adequate parking for students and staff, Pacifica Christian has off-site parking agreements with two properties within the vicinity of the school. The school and off-site parking agreements are authorized pursuant to the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) filed as PA2023-0078. Condition of Approval No. 16 of the CUP requires the off-site parking location of 873 to 877 Production Place be used only for warehousing and administrative offices and prohibits students from using or accessing the site. The Applicant is requesting that the condition be amended to remove 2 of 3
the prohibition on students accessing the site and allow it to be used as an athletic training facility for student athletes, rather than warehousing. While students will be allowed to access the site for after school athletic training purposes, no students will park at the site and no school instruction will occur. In addition to the athletic training facility, the site will continue to provide administrative offices and parking for Pac ifica Christian staff. If approved, this CUP would supersede the CUP filed as PA2023-0078.
Recommended Actions:
1. Conduct a public hearing;
2. Find this project exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15301 under Class 1 (Existing Facilities) of the CEQA Guidelines, because it has not potential to have a significant effect on the environment; and
3. Adopt Resolution No. PC202 5-001 approving the Conditional Use Permit filed as PA2023-0237 and superseding the Conditional Use Permit filed as PA2023-0087.
