Board upholds Planning & Zoning approval for proposed Episcopal K‑8 private school
Summary
The board denied an appeal and upheld the Planning & Zoning Agency special use permit allowing an Episcopal K‑8 private school in Open Rural zoning, voting 5–0 with conditions and findings.
The Board denied an appeal of a Planning & Zoning Agency approval and upheld SUPMAJ 2025‑18, which allows a private Episcopal K‑8 school within Open Rural zoning. The motion to deny the appeal and uphold the PZA decision passed 5–0 on Feb. 17.
Appellants and applicant representatives presented procedural and community arguments; public commenters including Laura Smith and Joseph Chisolm spoke in support of the school and local demand for the educational option. The board cited eight findings of fact and attached nine conditions to the permit approval as recorded in the staff report.
The decision means the applicant may proceed under the terms and conditions approved by the PZA and affirmed by the board, subject to staff permitting and compliance with the specified conditions.
