Adventure World Kids, identified as case number CNU25-00007, seeks to establish a child care center at units 1386 and 1388. To proceed under the current zoning, the project required conditional use approval. Sean Raja from the community development department presented the case, detailing the necessity of such a permit and the impact on city facilities. He confirmed the proposal’s compliance with zoning requirements and outlined conditions for approval, emphasizing that the permit is valid only while the initial certificate of use remains active. Any changes in ownership or site alterations would necessitate a new permit or site development plan approval. Raja also noted that issues such as vehicle stacking or traffic disruption could prompt a review by the city council to impose additional conditions or revocation.

Nicole, founder and director of Adventure World Kids, addressed the commission to elaborate on her vision for the facility. She articulated the goal of creating a nurturing environment focused on learning through play, intending to foster social and emotional skills. The planned facility aims to accommodate 60 students across two buildings, supported by a staffing plan of one director and three teachers per building. Nicole highlighted plans for staggered scheduling to alleviate local traffic concerns, addressing existing congestion issues on Narcissus Road.

Public comments strongly supported the proposal, with Sharon Matthews, owner of Playful Scholars Academy, and Jennifer from Kitty Academy of Hunter Creek, both expressing approval. Matthews emphasized the demand for educational facilities offering alternatives to traditional public schooling, while Jennifer praised the applicant’s dedication to early childhood education. The applicant confirmed the intention to transition from open play sessions to a more structured preschool service, aligning with parents’ preferences for intimate learning environments.

Following the public comments, the commission considered the community’s support and voted on the resolution. The conditional use permit, including the staff-recommended conditions, was approved unanimously.

Another agenda item, the proposed Planned Unit Development (PUD) related to REA’s Edge, was tabled for future discussion. The applicant requested a continuation to further engage with the community, with the planning commission and city council set to revisit the matter in December 2025 and January 2026, respectively.
