The meeting’s main agenda item is an application submitted by Nancy Ruzicka to approve a use permit that would allow a school facility/day care within the existing Ruzicka and Associates building at 2495 Parallel Drive.
Associate Planner Victor Fernandez’s report to the commission explains that Lake Family Resource Center, or LFRC, is planning to move its current facilities to the new site on Parallel Drive from the Vista Point Shopping Center at 896 Lakeport Blvd.
The organization “will continue to offer social services at this new location while providing a more suitable and updated space for its programs,” Fernandez said.
One of LFRC’s services is the Early Head Start program, which provides support for children aged zero to 3 years and their families.
Fernandez said the relocated facility will maintain the Early Head Start program, “ensuring that young children in the community have access to quality early childhood education and development services.”
The program will serve a maximum of 23 children across four classrooms with a specific focus on infants and toddlers, ages 0 to 3. The facility will include approximately 20 staff members, including early childhood educators, advocates, administrative personnel, and support staff, according to the report.
The facility will also feature an outdoor play area and fencing. There already are 24 parking spaces, one of which is ADA accessible. Fernandez said a condition of approval was provided that will require the existing parking lot to be re-striped.
