REQUIRED FINDINGS:

Conditional Use Permit U-25-002
Consider a Request for Approval to Modify an Existing Conditional Use Permit for an
Increase in the Hours of Operation in a Nursery School (Mariposa Montessori School)
on Property Zoned R-1:8. APN 532-07-127. Categorically Exempt Pursuant to the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, Section 15301: Existing
Facilities.
PROPERTY OWNER: Faith Lutheran Church
APPLICANT: Rekha Mundkur, Mariposa Montessori School
FINDINGS
Required Finding for CEQA:
▪ The project is Categorically Exempt pursuant to the adopted Guidelines for the
Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act, Section 15301:
Existing Facilities. No significant effect on the environment will occur since the
project uses an existing structure with no increase in floor area.
Required findings for a Conditional Use Permit:
▪ As required by Section 29.20.190 of the Town Code for granting a Conditional
Use Permit:
The deciding body, on the basis of the evidence submitted at the hearing, may
grant a conditional use permit when specifically authorized by the provisions of
the Town Code if it finds that:
1. The proposed expanded hours of operation are desirable to the public convenience
because it will offer longer hours of childcare to meet the needs of working families in
the community;
2. The proposed use would not impair the integrity of the zone, in that the conditions
placed on the permit would continue to ensure that the use is compatible with the
character of the zone; and
3. The proposed use would not be detrimental to public health, safety or general welfare,
as the conditions placed on the permit would maintain the welfare of the community.
4. The proposed uses of the property are in harmony with the various elements or
objectives of the general plan and the purposes of this chapter.
