Okay, well good afternoon and welcome to the administrative zoning meeting of January 28th,

2026. My name is Jordan Broder. And I am presiding over the hearing today as the zoning administrator.

And I would like to call the meeting to order at 4.02 p.m.

So today's hearing will operate in a hybrid format.

Staff, the applicants, and some committee members are in person.

However, we will ask if committee members joining us virtually.

Thank you.

I left, so it's not me.

I'll try.

Okay.

All right.

So today's hearing will operate in a hybrid format.

Staff, the applicants, and so community members are in person.

However, we will also ask if community members joining us virtually want to speak on an item at certain points of the meeting.

When those opportunities arise, typically during the public comment period of each agenda item,

Members of the public wishing to comment today may do so by clicking the raise hand feature on Zoom when I announce the item on which you may wish to speak on.

Speakers will be notified of their turn shortly before they are called on to speak.

All speakers, virtually or in person, will have two to three minutes to provide comments with the timing dependent on the total number of speakers for each item.

If you are in person and wish to comment on either of the items, please also fill out a yellow speaker card for us so we are able to accurately spell your name for the meeting minutes.

The next portion of the meeting is oral communications from the public.

This is a time set aside for persons wishing to address the zoning administrator on any matter not on the agenda.

Speaker 2, 3 minutes and state law prohibits any action on any items which are not on the agenda.

Is there anyone who would like to speak on any items that are not on the agenda? And seeing

no other members of the public other than the applicant here,

we'll now ask to see if there's anyone, any members of the public online on Zoom

that would like to speak?

None.

Okay, thank you.

So I will now move on to item number three, which is the zoning administrator public hearing.

And item 3.1 is 565 San Antonio Road with a request for a provisional use permit to allow a school, which is special education and specialized education and training for a tutoring school called Steam Moji at an existing tenant space in a mixed use commercial center, which is the village at San Antonio Center on a 5.51 acre site.

and a recommended determination that the project is categorically exempt pursuant to section 15301,

which is existing facilities of the California Environmental Quality Act, or CEQA.

Tristan White is a project planner.

And Tristan, do you have a staff presentation?

I do.

Can you share or allow me to share the screen?

Yes.

You need to click the share button we will allow you to.

I don't have it as an option, I believe.

Is that the green button?

I don't.

I have to try that.

No, he doesn't have the, he doesn't give me the option.

Let's see.

I'm just not giving you the option here for him.

Should I just go ahead without the presentation?

Yeah, if you want to give a verbal.

Okay.

Just go ahead.

Good afternoon.

My name is Tristan White, and I am the project planner for this item, 565 South San Antonio Road.

This project is located on a 5.51-acre site by the southeast corner of Fayette Drive and San Antonio Road

within the P40 San Antonio Precise Plan in a 1,482-square-foot tenant space.

On September 19th of 2025, Michelle Leszczynski on behalf of STEAMoji filed a request for a provisional use permit to allow a school for specialized education and training use for a tutoring school.

The proposed use is a tutoring school for students to develop hands-on STEM skills and problem-solving.

Projects through STEAMoji would be delivered individually through tablets with support from facilitators as needed.

At capacity, a maximum of 24 students and four employees would be on site.

Sessions are booked on an individual basis, staggered at 30-minute intervals to minimize

the time workstations will be at capacity.

The floor plan will include a reception area to facilitate drop-off and pickup, as well

as the main education space and storage room.

To conclude, staff has completed review of the application and is recommending approval based on the findings and conditions of approval and finds that the project is categorically exempt pursuant to section 15301 existing facilities of the California Environmental Act guidelines.

That concludes our presentation.

The staff is available to respond to any questions and a member of the applicant team is also here for any questions at this time.

Okay.

Thank you, Tristan. I don't have any further questions.

And now is the applicant's turn to make a presentation or have any words for the project.

So would the applicant like to make a presentation or comment on tonight's meeting today?

I feel like what he said covers our projects.

Would you mind stepping forward into the view of the camera, please?

Just so the viewing public can see you here.

The viewing public.

So I believe that we did a pretty good job of representing what our project is.

And we think it'll be an asset to the neighborhood.

It's just creates some some excitement with the kids for having this opportunity to be able to use 3D modeling and.

Just the whole hands on process of building things.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

Okay, so we will now open up the item for public comments.

And I don't see anyone else other than the applicant here in the audience.

And is there anyone that is online that would like to speak on the project?

If you're online, a reminder to use the raise hand feature in Zoom to raise your hand.

And there are none? Okay.

And seeing that there's no other members of the public that just came in, I'll now ask the applicant if there's any further comments.

We're approved.

Or he recommends approval.

Gotcha.

Okay.

Okay.

Well, if there's no further comments from the applicant, I'll now go ahead and close the public hearing.

And I will now move forward with making a motion to approve item 3.1 based on the findings and conditions posted online.

We didn't receive any public comment letters for this meeting and the application materials reviewed by the city staff.

So please note that this decision of approval is appealable to the city council within 10 calendar days.

and given that this is the only agenda item this concludes our public hearing today

at 4 10 p.m and if anyone has any follow-up questions on any of the items on the agenda

please contact tristan here all right thank you very much everyone

thank you
