BACKGROUND:
The Mariposa Montessori School is an existing nursery school operating with a Conditional Use

On August 2, 2005, the Development Review Committee approved a modification to an existing
CUP to adjust the hours of operation for a day care center (Mariposa Montessori School)
located on the Faith Lutheran Church property which included the following Condition of
Approval (Exhibit 7):
16. MONTESSORI SCHOOL USE/HOURS. The property owner/school operator shall limit the
number of Montessori school students on-site to a maximum of 50 students at any given
time. Any increase in enrollment will require amendment of the Conditional Use Permit for
the entire facility. The property owner/school operator shall limit the school’s operation to
the hours of: 8:15 a.m. – 4:15 p.m., Monday through Friday. No weekend hours are
permitted. The property owner/school operator shall limit school classes to the hours of
9:15 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. Once per month the school shall be permitted to conduct parent
meetings between the hours of 4:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. Four times per month the
teachers and administrative staff shall be permitted extended staff hours (7:30 a.m. to 8:00

On May 22, 2019, the Planning Commission approved a modification to an existing CUP for an
increase in student enrollment for the Mariposa Montessori School located on the Faith
Lutheran Church property. Condition of Approval 21 included a requirement for a one-time
annual review for compliance with the Conditions of Approval. The Planning Commission was
concerned with the following conditions for inclusion in the one-time annual review (Exhibit 6):
17. SCREENING: The school shall provide screening plantings between room 13 and the
adjacent neighbors.
18. SAFE DRIVING LETTER: The school shall provide a letter to all current and future parents
regarding safe driving.
19. SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOL: The school shall engage in the Safe Routes to School Program.
20. PUBLIC OUTREACH: Within one month of the date of this approval, the school shall conduct
a public outreach meeting to engage its neighbors.
On June 10, 2020, the Planning Commission approved an annual review report as required by
Condition of Approval 21 of the approved Conditional Use Permit U-19-003 (Exhibits 5 and 6).
The annual review was a one-time review of impacts due to the increased enrollment.
On January 29, 2025, the Community Development Department received a request to modify
the existing Conditional Use Permit to extend the hours of operation for the nursery school
from 8:15 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. to 8:15 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, (Exhibit 4).
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
A. Location and Surrounding Neighborhood
The school is located within existing buildings on the Faith Lutheran Church property at
16548 Ferris Road (Exhibit 1). Adjacent properties are developed with single-family
residences and are zoned R-1:8.
B. Zoning Compliance
A nursery school is a conditional use in the R-1:8 zone requiring approval of a CUP by the
Planning Commission. The Town Code requires that a nursery school located in an R-1:8
zone be located on a site of no less than 20,000 square feet and be located in a building not
less than 2,000 square feet. The subject property is 96,589 square feet, exceeding the
20,000 square foot requirement. The current classrooms used by the school are
approximately 2,280 square feet, which exceeds the 2,000-square foot requirement.

The applicant is requesting approval to modify the CUP to increase the hours of operation
from 8:15 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. to 8:15 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. The applicant
has provided justification for the request to increase the hours of operation indicating that
the extended hours are needed to provide childcare for working families (Exhibit 4). The
CUP runs with the land, and the deciding body should review applications based on the use
as opposed to the applicant or the applicant’s Project Description.
Since the applicant complied with returning to the Planning Commission for the one-time
annual review as required by Condition of Approval #21, staff recommends removal of this
conditions as shown in the recommended Conditions of Approval in Exhibit 3.

required by Condition of Approval 20 of the current CUP.

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.
PUBLIC COMMENTS:
Written notice was sent to property owners and occupants within 300 feet of the property. No
comments were received at the time this report was published.
CONCLUSION:
A. Conclusion

from 8:15 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. to 8:15 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. The applicant
