Charter school campus in a residential neighborhood
Summary
A new Springs Charter Schools campus for up to 420 TK-through-eighth-grade students will open at the former church site on Sierra Way, bringing an educational option to a neighborhood zone. Neighbors raised traffic on Sierra Way and access to a long-used back-gate easement, and the commission pressed the applicant on fencing and landscaping commitments.
