Type I Public Hearing held 11.29.18
General Information:
This is a request to construct a 10,925 square foot day care center on four lots that formerly
contained single family homes. The lots will be consolidated into one lot with the Plat. The
building and associated play yards will be located in the middle of the site, with a parking lot
to the south. Access to the site will be from an existing parking lot owned by CSU accessed
from Lake Street. This will be a second location for a Sunshine House facility.
Although priority is given to CSU faculty, students and staff, this facility will be open to the
Fort Collins community. Sunshine House operates several locations in Colorado, including
their existing facility on Centre Avenue, Colorado Springs, Loveland and Greeley. The
Sunshine House will operate the new facility designed and built for an enrollment of a
maximum of 188 FTE children. The new center will provide a program of play and learning
activities for children ages six weeks to 12 years. Hours of operation will be from 6:30 am to
6 pm, M-F.
The 1.37-acre site is in the HMN zoning district. Child Care Centers are subject to
Administrative Review.
Existing and Proposed Owners: Colorado State University Research Foundation.
