Heartland Ranch Children's Home and Private School
Description
A permanent use permit for a children's home for up to 100 trafficked and abused kids ages 4 to 12, with an on-site K-12 school, on 160 acres in the R1L-70 zoning district. The Board added conditions on flooding, licensing, and the Blue Bell Road crossing before approving unanimously.
Impact summary
Up to ten homes and a school will be built in phases over five years at just 3% lot coverage, bringing a therapeutic children's facility to a rural area — with flood and emergency-access safeguards written into the permit.
