The Church is requestinG approval of a Special Use Permit to operate a full time day care facility, at least four days per week. Infants and pre-schoolers will be cared for on a regular basis by employees of the Church. Several of the existing classrooms, kitchen and restroom facilities within the Church buildinG, (all located on the first floor) will be utilized for the day care center from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., Tuesdays through Fridays. Historically, some cities require day care centers to operate under a Special Use Permit in residential zoned areas, in order to make sure adequate parking is provided and to ensure that traffic caused by a day care center would not become a nuisance to the neighborhood. An emphasis on vehicular traffic, on the quality of light and air, and on freedom from crowding are other reasons to ensure that day care facilities will be situated in appropriate neighborhoods. This facility is bound by open space and single-family structures, and the abutting streets serve as minor collectors to the residential area. The existing number of paved parking spaces is more than adequate for a day care nursery use. Staff recommends approval of a day care facility. ALTERNATIVES: 1) Approve the Special Use Permit request 2) Deny the Special Use Permit request S1052STF SF .12 FIRST UNITED METHODIST CHURCH '1 '~ ~ j' ~ -'?'fill,l~l.]j J~-~-'~ FIRST UNITED METHODIST CHURCH Item 14 Consider approval of a zoning change, Case #S-1052, from (SF-12) Single- Family-12, to (SF-12-SUP) Single-Family-12 Special Use Permit, for the operation of a Day Care Facility, located at 420 S.
