LifeLab Kids PUD Amendment and Site Plan
Ferndale
Description
LifeLab Kids wants to swap its aging greenhouse for a two-story classroom building on the same footprint, adding dedicated teen and young-adult space. The commission recommended the PUD amendment to council and approved the site plan with conditions; the council makes the final PUD call.
Impact summary
No new students or staff — the expansion gives LifeLab's older clients a dedicated space for independent-living and pre-vocational training, including a mock apartment on the second floor.
