PanARMENIAN.Net - Chamlian Armenian School can move forward with
plans for a new gymnasium after the Glendale City Council unanimously
overturned a commission-level decision to deny the project.
The decision was a victory for the dozens of school administrators,
parents and students - many donning athletic jerseys - who packed
the City Hall chambers in support of the gym.
"Our only purpose for this project is to enhance our daily physical
education classes for our students," said Principal Vazken Madenlian,
Glendale News-Press reported.
City planners determined that the gym would not add to existing
traffic associated with daily drop-off and pick-up of students.
Despite this, the Planning Commission voted 3 to 1 in January to
reject the gym, siding with neighbors who have vigorously opposed
the project because they say it will add to neighborhood traffic and
parking problems.
Roughly 500 students in kindergarten through eighth-grade attend the
private school, which has been located at the former public school
site of Lowell Elementary for more than 20 years.
