better drop-off/pickup and adjust the parking spaces
accordingly.
6. utility Comments
None as of this writing.
7. Analysis
Staff feels that this proposed day care center is an
appropriate use for this property. The proposed day care
center is small in scale and is located on a tract of land
larger than one acre in size. The uses in the immediate
vicinity are varied, including several churches, commercial
uses and industrial uses.
The applicant is providing adequate parking, but needs to
redesign the driveway as suggested by the City Engineer. A
circular driveway would provide safer access to the site
from Confederate Blvd. (State Highway 365).
