Previously the <br />property was used temporarily by the North Olmsted City School District to house their middle <br />school while the new campus was under construction. A conditional use permit was granted in <br />2015; however, it expired on April 30, 2019. The applicant has provided information about <br />Albert Einstein Academies, a community school, which will take over the school facilities at St. <br />Richard. They anticipate serving about 200 students with staff of about 22. They are proposing <br />no exterior changes to the building or property. All vehicle and bus traffic will be maintained on <br />site during morning drop off and afternoon pick up times. The Commission should consider the <br />general conditional use standards in Chapter 1118. Staff has reviewed the required specific <br />conditional use standards for K-12 facilities and found the proposal to be compliant. Ms. <br />Wohleber said the school was created seven years ago and there are other campuses in <br />Lakewood, Westlake and Strongsville. They are stable financially and looking forward to many <br />years in this new location. <br />Mr. Malone moved, seconded by Ms. Nader, to approve the conditional use permit for a <br />school in the B-3 General Business district for 19-14438; Albert Einstein Academy; 26855 <br />Lorain Road, motion passed 4-0. <br />COMMUNICATIONS <br />
