Sage Ridge School has been teaching grades it wasn't permitted for since roughly 2005 — this amendment cleans that up and lets the school formally add kindergarten starting next year, with a cap of 14 new students and no construction. A neighboring Arrow Creek resident asked the school to plant trees to screen the gymnasium, but the commission noted it can't enforce landscaping through this permit.
