The school would like a conditional use permit amendment in order to sei’ve 69 <br />children including 29 infants and toddlers and the remaining preschoolers (ages 33 <br />months to 6 years old). Currently, the school docs not have 69 children enrolled however <br />a CUP amendment is required in order to serve their existing enrollment level. Ihe <br />applicant has listed the proposed hours of operation to be between the hours of 7:00 am to <br />6:00 pm Monday through Friday. <br />Play Area <br />City Code requires 50 s.f. of fenced-in play area per .student which, for 69 studcnis would <br />total 3,450 s.f., this fenced-in area must be at least 15 ’ Irom a road. There is an existing <br />50 ’ X 70 ’ fenced-in play area located 45 ’ from Highway 12. 'I'his existing fenced-in area <br />meets this requirement with 3,500 s.f.. <br />Parking <br />City Code has determined parking needs for a daycare to be four stalls plus one stall for <br />each 500 s.f in exce.ss of 1000 s.f. of floor space. The existing building is 5,500 s.f. in <br />area therefore: <br />5.500 s.f. - 1,000 -s.f. = 4,500 s.f. <br />4.500 s.f./500 = 9 stalls <br />4 + 9-13 total parking stalU <br />The property’s existing parking area, although not paved nor are the stalls striped, <br />exceeds tlic parking needs for a daycare. <br />Signage <br />file applicant is proposing to replace the existing 4.5 ’ x 9’ sign face with a new sign <br />meeting those dimensions. A sign permit will be required at the time of the installation. <br />The applicant has also requested some temporary signage to aimounce the new location. <br />Technically, City Code Section 78-1466(8)(b) states that a conditional use within a <br />residential zone which has a permanent sign shall not be allowed any temporary signage. <br />However, past practice has shown that institutional uses within residential districts have <br />commonly used teni|x)rary signage to announce events without applying for variances or <br />often even a tempirrary sign permit. As we have the request on the table. Planning
