Commissioners expressed strong support for the project, highlighting its thoughtful design, which includes a well-planned drop-off loop intended to alleviate congestion. One commissioner noted the challenges faced at their children's current school, emphasizing the importance of effective traffic management to prevent accidents and delays. The design's proximity to a water district was also praised for creating a natural boundary that minimizes traffic around the school.

The commissioners appreciated the project's focus on community integration, particularly its consideration for nearby residential areas. They acknowledged the efforts made to mitigate potential traffic impacts on local neighborhoods, especially along Yates Street. The inclusion of ample landscaping and play areas was recognized as beneficial for both noise reduction and aesthetic appeal.

Overall, the project was deemed consistent with the county's general plan and zoning regulations, meeting all necessary development standards. The commission unanimously approved the project, moving forward with the staff's recommendations. This decision marks a significant step towards enhancing educational infrastructure while addressing community concerns about traffic and safety.
