ZONING: Rural TYPE OF APPLICATION: Minor Amendment to an Approved Land Use Change Permit (Admin) I. GENERAL DESCRIPTION The Colorado Rocky Mountain School is proposing to add an Active Center to their campus. It is proposed to be located north of Pabst Drive, the original location of the tennis courts (now student parking) and several educational buildings. The Active Center is planned to be developed over a portion of land this is mostly vacant while a small portion of the building will encroach into area currently being used for parking. CRMS was approved for a Conditional Use Permit in 1999 pursuant to Resolution 99-016. At that time, Condition #2 stated "If facilities of the school ever substantially changes from what has been proposed, then this Conditional Use Permit shall be subject to further review and subject to modification." In 2010, an amended Land Use Change Permit was issued by a Director's Decision and recorded with Reception #791739. The amendment allowed the construction of an Educational Facility which consisted of two music practice facilities, filed under CUAA-6554. Though not contemplated as part of the original master plan for the school, the Active Center is consistent with the other activities planned near this part of campus, including tennis courts, soccer field and volleyball court. The Active Center is estimated to be approximately 5,000 square feet in size with one-third to two- thirds of the space being conditioned area. The Center would serve as the main drop/off pick up area for student's outdoor activities. The location of the proposed Active Center is in the proximate location of a previously planned new dorm, as shown in the CRMS 1998 Master Plan. An additional improvement requested in the amendment is for the replacement and relocation of small fueling station, proposed to be 18x18 feet in size and located along in the northern area of the existing parking and directly adjacent to the north access drive that connects to Dolores Way. A similar facility was previously located near the school's maintenance facilities but was vandalized in 2014 and now needs to be replaced. II.
