Staff recommends deleting the limiting term "private ". There is no reason a public entity should not be able to open a small instructional operation as could a private business. We recommend allowing specialty schools as conditional uses in the NB zone as well. These typically are small businesses, often in storefront locations. A larger operation, while possible, probably would require a larger piece of property than typically is available in an NB zone.
