PROJECT DESCRIPTION / BACKGROUND
Damaris Santiago, agent is requesting approval for the installation of a playground for Kidz Choice Charter School, located at 1800 North Douglas Road.
On 9/14/89 the Planning and Zoning Board approved the site plan SP 89-31 (Miller-Legg Center). Site modifications were made in 2006 (Building color change) and in 2015 (Addition of two wall signs).

The approval of this application will allow the applicant to bring the property into compliance.
STRUCTURES / PARKING:

Seven existing parking spaces will be removed to accommodate the playground. 43 parking spaces are required based on use, while 80 spaces will continue to be provided on site.
The play area will contain one 12’ tall, 33’ x 22’ multicolored jungle gym. The floor of the playground will be artificial turf and the play area will be enclosed by 4’ tall aluminum fence. In addition,...
