RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Kay Elder Daycare (Stepping Stones Preschool), Preliminary and Final P.U.D., #52-95. Kay Elder Daycare (Stepping Stone Preschool) PUD - Preliminary & Final, #31-94A January 22, 1996 P & Z Meeting Page 2 COMMENTS: Background: The surrounding zoning and land uses are as follows: The property is surrounded by single-family detached homes, all within the R-L, Low Density Residential Zone District. The property is Lot 21, Block 15, Parcel Number 9726316021 of the Woodwest, Seventh (7th) Filing Subdivision. The lot size is 9,057 square feet. The home is 2,232 square feet. The backyard is fenced in compliance with the Zoning Code for Child Care Centers. The Zoning Code's minimum requirements for both indoor play area and outdoor play area are satisfied. The property is well landscaped, well maintained, and contributes to the character of the established neighborhood. 2. Land Use: A. Residential Density Point Chart Child Care Centers are included in the definition of Residential Uses according to Point Chart H of the L.D.G.S. The single-family detached home will remain a dwelling unit for the applicant who, along with her husband, are the owner -occupants of the home. There is no request for additional dwelling units. The proposed child care center is a daytime function, not a typical residential activity. Since the request is not a function of the number of dwelling units per acre, density is not an issue. Therefore, the calculation afforded by the "Density Chart" of the L.D.G.S. does not reveal any practical information by which to evaluate the request. Rather, the request has been reviewed by the All Development Criteria of the L.D.G.S. B. All Development Criteria The request has been reviewed by the applicable criteria of the All Development chart of the L.D.G.S. (See attached). These criteria are satisfied. C. Zoning Code The Zoning Code requires that there be a minimum of 2,500 square feet of properly fenced outdoor play area. The Code also requires a minimum of 40 square feet per child of indoor floor space reserved for school purposes. These requirements are satisfied, with 3,060 square feet of fenced, outdoor, play area, and 558 square feet of indoor floor space reserved for school purposes (46.5 square feet per child). , ITEM NO. _ 6 MEETING DATE 112 2 / g 6 STAFF Mitch Hags City of Fort Collins PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD STAFF REPORT PROJECT: Kay Elder Daycare (Stepping Stones Preschool), Preliminary and Final P.U.D., #52-95 APPLICANT: Mrs. Kay W.
