Pertinent Ordinances • RR-1 A District Standards, Section 10.27 • Conditional Use, Section 10.09 ANALYSIS Day care facilities are allowed in rural residential districts as a conditional use. Day care facilities are licensed by the Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS). The zoning application addresses how the facility will operate 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 off-site impact on adjacent residential properties and traffic. It is anticipated that this building will be removed when construction begins on Hwy. 12. Access The subject propert>' has a driveway and curb cut on Hwy. 6. No access is available from H vn 7. 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 e.xcess of 1,00 sq. ft. of floor space in the principal structure. The structure measures 50' 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; where 21 spaces are provided. The site plan meets the required parking requirement. The national Parking Consultants Council recommends 1 parking space per employee and .1 space per person of licensed capacity enrollment and drop-off spaces equal to one for each eight enrollees. This would result in X + .1(60) + (60)/8= 16 spaces + 1 per staff person. If 5 or fewer staff people are on-site at one time, then the site would meet this requirement. ^2460 Oiten/Jacqucs 3800 tt'ayzata Blvd. PC-02/16/99 page-2
