Background

The Head-Royce School is an existing K-12 school located at 4315 and 4465 Lincoln Ave. The existing school complex includes classrooms and administrative functions, a library, gym, auditorium, swimming pool, multipurpose sports field, outdoor tennis courts and other outdoor play areas. The School currently operates under a 2016 Planned Unit Development Permit (PUD) which governs use of the existing Campus for school activities and allows up to 906 students during the school year and two sessions of 780 students each during the summer. The PUD also allows parking on the former Lincoln Children’s Center site at 4360 Lincoln Avenue (Lincoln site) and use of an adjacent field at 4500 Lincoln Ave, home of Ability Now, for school sports. The Head-Royce School purchased the Lincoln site in 2013. The School is now requesting an amendment to their PUD to expand their physical campus to the Lincoln site, redevelop it as a new South Campus, and increase their enrollment.
