Project Description The project proposal is to remodel the existing 7,559 square foot bu8dimg at 1247 Riverside Avenue in order to create a Child Care Center out of the entire building. Additionally, the adjacent vacant lot at 1230 East Elizabeth Street will be developed as the Child Care Center's outdoor playground. Fencing of the playground is not intended for visual screening, but rather to define May areas and contain the children within, while keeping the public out. The playground is proposed to have 6-foot chain link fencing around its perimeter, and a 4-foot vinyl fence along the path to the playground, and dividing the playground into separate "age appropriate" areas. The playground will consist of natural play features such as small rocks and logs, grass, a track, and shade structures. The Plat The site of the PDP is lots 2 and 3 of the Viking 1 Subdivision. The existing building at 1247 Riverside Avenue and its existing parking lot are on Lot 2 of Viking I Subdivision. The vacant lot at 1230 East Elizabeth Street is lot 3 of Viking I Subdivision. The Viking I Subdivision was platted in 1979. Note that a 30 wide access and utility easement was Matted across the shared driveway between Lot 1 and Lot 2, and also between Lot 3 and Lot 4. Compliance with Child Care Center Requirements Play Area. Section 3.8.4(A) of the Fort Collins Land Use Code regulates chili care uses and requires that a minimum of two thousand five hundred (2,S00) square feet of outdoor play area be provided for fifteen (1S) children or fewer, with seventy-five (75) additional square feet being required for each additional child, except that the size of the total play area need only accommodate at lost fifty (50) percent of the capacity of the center. For the purposes of this subsection, the capacity of the center is calculated based upon indoor floor space reserved for school purposes of forty (40) square feet per child. The classrooms within the building constitute 4015 sq. ft. of indoor floor space (out of a total ground floor footprint of 6290 sq. ft.). For the purpose of applying this section, at 40 sq. ft. per child, the capacity of the center is 100, therefore the May area need only accommodate 50 children total. The first 15 children (of maximum capacity) require 2S00 sq. ft. of outdoor play area, and the remaining 35 children (of maximum capacity) require another 75 sq. ft. per child, or another 2627 sq. ft. of May area. This equates to a total minimum required play area of 5125 sq. ft. The outdoor playground we propose in 10,964 sq. ft, which is almost double the minimum required size required by this code. Screening. Section 3.8.4(A) goes on to say that any such play area within or abutting any residential district shall be enclosed by a decorative solid wood fence, masonry wall or chain link fence with vegetation screening, densely planned. The height of such fence shall be a minimum of sic (6) feet and shall comply with Section 3.8.11. The play area is not within, nor does it abut any residential district. Screening of the playground is therefore not required. We propose to enclose the play area with a 6 foot tall chain link fence, with is not intended for screening purposes, but rather containment purposes, Loading & Uniooding. Section 3.8.4(A) goes on to say that where access to preschool nurseries is provided by other than local streets, an off-street vehicular bay or driveway shall be provided for the purpose of boding and unloading children. An off-street vehicular driveway leads to a parking lot that serves the building. Parents will park their cars and physically bring their children into the bulidiy to check them In. Pick up will also require the parents to park, and go into the building to check out their child. Compliance with Parking Requirements As explained in the project description above, the project proposes to change the use of an existing building (that already has a parking lot in place) that serves the building. The existing parking lot provides 21 parking spaces, 3 of which are handicap spaces. Minimum Parking. Section 3.2.2(K)(1)(h) of the Land Use Code Requires Child Care Centers to provide two (2) parking spaces per three (3) employees, or one (1) parking space per one thousand (1,000) square feet of floor area, whichever requires the greatest number of parking spaces. Using the first method listed above to determine the minimum Parking required, the 21 parking spaces provided would allow up to 31 employees during any single shift. The proposed child care center typically expects to have 12 to 15 employees per shift, but no more than 21 employees in the building at any one time. Using 21 employees forthe calculation would require a minimum of 14 parking spaces. Using the other method of alculaticg, the ground floor of the existing building is 6290 sq. ft. in size. For the purpose of this calculation, it should be rated that there is also a basement, however ft will be only used for storage and not for child are uses. The total building square footage including the basement is approximately 7,559 square feet, so a minimum of 8 parking spaces would be required If this method of calculation were to be used. The minimum required parking is therefore the greater of the two, which is a minimum of 14 parking spaces. Maximum Parking. Section 3.2.2(K)(1)(h) goes on to say that in the event that a child care center is located adjacent to uses such as retail, office, employment or industrial uses, and when staggered peak periods of parking demand do not exist with these adjacent uses, then the maximum number of parking spaces allowed for a child care center shall be four (4) spaces per one thousand (1,000) square feet of floor area. Even do* there are adjacent office and employment uses, they have the same peak periods of parking demand as the proposed child arc center. Using the 6290 sq. ft. ground floor of the building to calculate the maximum, a maximum of 25 spaces are allowed. In summary, the minimum number of spaces required is 14, and the maximum number of spaces allowed is 25. We propose to use the 21 spaces that already exist to serve the building.
