Planning Commission - Jan 21, 2026
LifeLab Kids, an educational facility for people with special needs, wants to replace its aging greenhouse with a two-story classroom building for teens and young adults. No growth in students or staff — just better-suited space. It now heads to City Council for a final vote on the PUD amendment.
