Neighborhood Compatibility: A neighborhood information meeting was held on March 8, 1995. This meeting took place within the home. Three affected property owners attended. There were no negative comments regarding the proposed use. Since the meeting was sparsely attended and no issues raised, there are no minutes. The Planning Department has inspected the property. There will be no exterior alterations to the home. There is ample parking in the two car drive -way for parents. The backyard is maturely landscaped and properly fenced. There is a 48 square foot playhouse in the backyard for activities. Staff considers the request to be compatible with the surrounding neighborhood. FINDINGS OF FACT/CONCLUSIONS: A. The request for a Child Care Center for up to a maximum of 12 children in the R-L Zone satisfies the All Development Criteria of the L.D.G.S. B. The request exceeds the Zoning Code's minimum requirements for indoor and outdoor play areas. C. Based on citizen input and a site evaluation, Staff considers the request compatible with the surrounding area. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Choice Child Care Preliminary and Final P.U.D., #16-95. Choice Child Care PUD - Preliminary and Final, #16-95 May 22, 1995 P & Z Meeting Page 2 COMMENTS: 1. 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 Zone District. The property is Lot 10, Block 17 of the Brown Farm, First Filing Subdivision. The lot size is 7,700 square feet. The home is 2,208 square feet. The two car garage has been converted into usable indoor floor space and will be the child care area. The backyard is fenced in compliance with the Zoning Code for Child Care Centers. The Zoning Code's minimum requirements for both the 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 satisified.
