City staff had already approved the site plan for the church on Jan. 8, 2015. However, the city requires a specific-use permit in order to operate a private school in this location. The private school would operate within the church, which plans to also add a playground. The church is already licensed by the State Board of Education for a maximum of 105 students in kindergarten through 9th grade. The permit will have a three-year time limit to see how the school grows and if there is a possibility for the school to move outside the church into a new building.
