Proposed Project Project Narrative Per the applicant’s description: Schoolhouse of Wonder has been operating on Triangle Land Conservancy property since 2018 under a previous interpretation from Orange County Planning and Inspections that the nature preserve was a park use permitted by right and the day camp was an accessory to that use. In early 2024, Schoolhouse of Wonder representatives reached out to Planning and Inspections staff regarding installing permanent structures on-site related to the Camp use. The staff interpretation is that this permanent Camp use of the property requires a Special Use Permit for the use and associated structures to be permitted on-site. For additional project information, including a narrative of the proposed use, see Application (Attachment 1) Exhibit B. 88
