PUBLIC HEARING
Nancy VanLandingham, Gateway Real Estate, 5 N. Main Street, selling agent, was

COMMISSIONERS DISCUSSION AND MOTION
Thompson felt this was a good use for this property and the location would encourage
walking. Carr was happy the house would not sit empty and be allowed to
deteriorate. Cloer concurred.
Cloer moved to approve, Thompson seconded the motion and it carried unanimously.
PLANNING ACTION 93-149
REQUEST FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR A PRIVATE ELEMENTARY
SCHOOL, GRADES K-5, TO BE LOCATED IN THE EXISTING CHURCH
FACILITIES AT 188 GARFIELD STREET.
APPLICANT: CHRISTIAN CENTER
Site Visits and Ex Parte Contacts
All Commissioners had a site visit.
STAFF REPORT
The application was administratively approved last month but a public hearing was
requested by a neighboring property owner. Staff gave a brief history of the property.
The applicant proposes a school which means the daily traffic would be similar to the
target use of the zone and Staff has proposed the starting time of the school would
offset the high school arrival time. Staff has recommended approval of this application
with the three attached conditions.
Carr recommended a Condition 4 that the applicant receive all the necessary waivers
from the Oregon Department of Education, licensing from the Jackson County Health
Department, etc. This could be provided prior to operation.
PUBLIC HEARING
KEN HORN, 1250 Kirk Lane, pastor of Ashland Christian Center, does not want to do
anything to hinder the neighborhood with this operation of a Christian elementary
school (K-5). Nothing would be changed in the buildings and nothing would be
added. Parents would pick up children and drop them off within the parking lot area.
The off-street parking will be adequate for everything. They are willing to stagger their
hours in order to not interfere with the public schools. The church will continue to
maintain the building and grounds. Horn said this application was in line with the
Comprehensive Plan and met the Conditional Use Permit requirements. The maximum
number of students they would handle would be 100. They have checked with the
State and the proposed school meets all the requirements.
COMMISSIONERS DISCUSSION AND MOTION
Thompson moved to approve the application providing all the necessary waivers have
