ANALYSIS Day care facilities are allowed in rural lesidential districts as a conditional use. Day care facilities are licensed by t^ . Minnesota Departme^^ of Human Services (DHS). The zoning application addresses how the facility'will o^rale as a land use and the DHS licensing addresses the staffing levels and care of the children in the facility. The issues to be addressed in the conditional use permit application are access, parking, landscaping, signage, and hours of operation. The conditional use permit may also limit the number of persons using the facility to correlate with the size of the septic system and control the offisite impact on adjacent residential properties and traffic. It is anticipated that this building will be removed when construction begins on Hwy. 12. \ , /VS.CCSS The subject property ^ a driveway and curb cut on Hwy. 6. No access is available from Hwy. 12. Parking • , • • The site plan indicates that there are 18 parking spaces with 1 designated as a handicapped accessible space. There are also 2 parking spaces available in the garage. The Zoning Code requires that 4 parking spaces be provided for each 500 sq. ft. in excess of' ,00 sq. ft. of floor space in the principal structure. The structure measures SO' x 63' (3,150 sq. ft.) according to building plans on file. The parking requirement for the size of the facility is 17.2 spaces. The site plan meets the required parking requirement. The national Paiidng Consultants Council recommends 1 parking space per employee ^d .1 space per person of licensed capacity enrollment and drop-off spaces equal to Gnc for each eight enrollees. This would result in X + .1(45) + (45)/8= 10 spaces + 1 per staff person. If 7 oi fewer staff people are on-«.‘ic one time, then the site would meet this requirement. % Land5C.-^Ir.:£ The previous day care facility was required to have a fence around the play area and trees along the fencing on Hwy. 12.
