Vienna panel approves small art studio CUP at 421 Church Street Unit G
Summary
The Board of Zoning Appeals approved a conditional use permit for a small specialized instruction studio (New York's Club Art) at 421 Church Street NE Unit G, with limits of two concurrent classes (max 10 students) and minimal proposed renovations; the motion passed with one abstention for a late-arriving member.
The Vienna Board of Zoning Appeals approved a conditional use permit for a specialized instruction studio at 421 Church Street NE Unit G, clearing the way for New York’s Club Art to operate limited evening and weekend classes.
Town staff presented the application and recommended approval under the town’s CUP standards, noting the proposed operations would include up to two concurrent classes (maximum 10 students and two instructors), no exterior renovations and minimal interior work. The Planning Commission had reviewed the matter and recommended approval.
Owner Kei Jae Lee was sworn and described the studio’s programming as visual arts instruction for kindergarten through 12th grade — drawing, painting and crafts — and confirmed there would be no kilns or pottery throwing. Board members asked clarifying questions about safety and operations, and no members of the public provided comments during the hearing.
A board member moved to approve the conditional use permit citing the Town Code section referenced in the record; the motion was seconded and carried on a roll call with recorded ayes and one noted abstention from a late-arriving member. The board concluded the agenda item and proceeded to the next case.
