Minutes - San Leandro City Council Meeting - December 7, 1992 Page - 7 - PUBLIC HEARINGS (continued) Mr. Weisbrod said the Board of Zoning Adjustments determined that, since there were so few students enrolled at the School and no complaints have been received by Community Standards, they were comfortable with giving a five-year extension. The Board noted the new homes on the old Marina High School site would be completed in five years, and this might have an impact on the Manor Baptist Church School enrollment. The Board attached a Condition to the approval that, if Manor Baptist sells or leases the property, any new operator of the School must come before the Board for a new Conditional Use Permit. Council Member Faria asked what the maximum enrollment has been. Mr. Weisbrod believed it had been as high as 250 students for a short period. He said there were no complaints during that period. Council Member Myers asked if Manor Baptist would be required to come back before the Board if any Conditions were violated. Mr. Weisbrod said the Board or the City Council can require a review any time the School is not in compliance with the Conditions. He said the Conditions would remain in effect during either a five-year extension or a permanent status. He said there would be no charge for a review of their compliance with the Conditions, but there is a charge for a modification or extension of the Permit. Council Member Kerr asked if the School has lived up to all the Conditions. Mr. Weisbrod said they have; he said the property is well maintained, there are not a lot of cars, and they do not use the back parking lot as a play area but have an agreement with Hope Lutheran Church to use their gymnasium. He said staff recommended permanent status to the BZA. Council Member Kerr asked, if the School received permanent status, could it come back any time there was a complaint. Mr. Weisbrod said Community Standards would request compliance, and if the School did not comply, it would be called up for a review. Council Member Kerr noted the BZA seemed to be concerned about future enrollment. Council Member Kerr asked if there were similar restrictions on other parochial schools. Mr. Weisbrod said the Conditions placed on other schools are specific to the sites and the impact of the schools on the surrounding areas. Council Member Corbett asked if there have been complaints about the School . Mr. Weisbrod said the City has no record of complaints during the three-year period of this extension. Council Member Perry asked if information was given to the neighbors on who to call with complaints; Mr. Weisbrod said it was. Mayor Karp noted that there were two letters opposing approval of the 9th Modification from Mrs. George Gagnon and Ms. Johanna MacMillan, and one letter supporting approval from Mr. and Mrs. Maurice R. McIntyre.
