Zoning administrator approves Steamoji provisional use permit for tutoring space at 565 San Antonio Road

The Mountain View zoning administrator approved a provisional use permit on Jan. 28 to allow Steamoji, a specialized tutoring program, to operate in a 1,482-square-foot tenant space at The Village at San Antonio Center at 565 San Antonio Road.

Tristan White, project planner, told the administrator the application (filed Sept. 19, 2025, by Michelle Lisonbee on behalf of Steamoji) proposes hands-on STEM tutoring delivered through tablets with facilitator support. ‘‘At capacity, a maximum of 24 students and 4 employees would be on-site,’’ White said, and sessions would be staggered in 30-minute intervals to avoid having all workstations at capacity.

White said staff completed its review and recommended approval based on the posted findings and conditions. Staff also concluded the project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act under section 15301 (existing facilities).

An applicant representative said the proposal would be ‘‘an asset’’ to the center and that the program would provide hands-on learning opportunities for children, including 3-D modeling activities. No members of the public spoke in person or online during the item’s public comment period.

Zoning administrator Schroeder moved to approve the item based on the findings and conditions posted online and noted the decision ‘‘is appealable to the city council within 10 calendar days.’’ The hearing was closed at 4:10 p.m.

Those seeking more information or wishing to file an appeal were directed to contact Tristan White at the city planning office.
