request does not require a change to the Land Use Plan. This area is not
covered by a Neighborhood Plan.
Master Street Plan: Kanis Road is a Minor Arterial. A Minor Arterial provides
connections to and through an urban area and their primary function is to provide
short distance travel within the urbanized area. Entrances and exits should be
limited to minimize negative effects of traffic and pedestrians on Kanis Road
since it is a Minor Arterial. These streets may require dedication of right-of-way
and may require street improvements for entrances and exits to the site.
Bicycle Plan: There are no bike routes shown in the immediate vicinity.
Landscape:
1. Site plan must comply with the City's landscape and buffer ordinance
requirements.
2. Any/all parking or landscaping located within the public right-of-way will need
to be franchised.
3. Upon rehabilitation or building addition in the future the parking lot and

G. SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT- (October 14, 2010)
Mr. Pat McGetrick of McGetrick Engineering was present representing the
request. Staff presented the item stating there were a few outstanding technical
issues associated with the request in need of addressing prior to the Commission
acting on the request. Staff questioned the number of children, the number of
staff and if the daycare would provide transportation. Staff also questioned any
signage including ground and building signage proposed. Staff questioned the
days and hours of service and if any new fencing was proposed.
Public Works comments were addressed. Staff stated a dedication of right of
way 45-feet from centerline was required. Staff also stated street construction
per the Master Street Plan was required including curb, gutter and sidewalk.
Staff stated a franchise agreement was required to allow the parking as indicated
to be located within the newly dedicated right of way.
Landscaping comments were addressed. Staff stated all landscaping located
within the public right of way would require franchising. Staff also stated upon
rehabilitation of the building a landscaping upgrade would be required. Staff

stated credit for fulfilling landscape ordinance requirements would be given for
preservation of trees six (6) inches in caliper or larger.
Staff noted comments from the other reporting departments and agencies
suggesting the applicant contact them individually for additional clarification.
There was no further discussion of the item. The Committee then forwarded the
item to the full Commission for final action.
H. ANALYSIS:
The applicant submitted a revised site plan to staff addressing the issues raised
at the October 14, 2010, Subdivision Committee meeting. The applicant has
provided the days and hours of the proposed daycare, the number of children to
be served and the number of staff persons. The revised plan also indicates the
placement of signage and relocated the driveway to the east.
The request is a rezoning from R-2, Single-family to POD to allow the reuse of
this- existing structure as a daycare center. The center will serve a maximum of
thirty-five (35) children. The center is proposed with three (3) staff persons and
the- center will have one van for transporting the children. The typical parking
requirement for a daycare center is based on one space per administrator,
teacher and employee on the largest shift plus one space per facility vehicle plus
one space per ten (10) children of licensed capacity. The parking typically
required for a daycare center of this size is seven (7) spaces. The site contains
twenty-two (22) parking spaces. The existing parking is more than adequate to
serve the use. The applicant is also seeking 0-3, General Office District Uses as
allowable alternative uses. The building contains 1,775 square feet of space.
Based on the parking requirements for an office development five (5) parking
spaces would typically be required.
The site plan indicates the dedication of right of way to 45 feet from centerline
along Kanis Road. With the dedication of right a way a portion of the parking and
the landscaped area will be located within the right of way. The applicant will
seek a franchise agreement with the City for these improvements to remain.
The applicant is requesting the placement of a ground mounted sign within the
front yard area along Kanis Road. The sign will also be located within the public
right of way. The applicant will request a franchise agreement with the City to
allow the placement of the sign within the public right of way. Building signage is
proposed consistent with signage allowed in office zones or a maximum of ten
percent of the front facade area. The sign is proposed three feet by twelve feet
with a total sign area of thirty-six square feet. The proposed signage is a total of
6.9% of fagade coverage.
The applicant has indicated the days and hours of operation from 6:00 am to
7:00 pm six (6) days per week.
5
FILE NO.- Z-8605 (Cont.
The revised site plan has relocated the dumpster from the front parking area to
the side of the structure. The applicant has not proposed limiting the dumpster
service hours to daylight hours. Staff does not feel the hours of service should
necessarily be limited to daylight hours for this site. There are few residences
located in this immediate area which would be impacted by early morning hour
service.
There are very few improvements required with the proposed reuse of this site.
The applicant is proposing the addition of a six (6) foot chain link fence around
the playground area in the rear yard area. The only other improvements will be
cosmetic. The revised site plan has relocated the driveway along the eastern
perimeter to be a shared drive with the adjacent property owner. Staff feels this
will improve access to this site as well as the adjacent site.
Staff is supportive of the request. The site is shown as Mixed Office Commercial
on the City's Future Land Use Plan which allows for redevelopment of properties
with a mixture of office and commercial uses through the planned development
process. The request to allow redevelopment of the site with a daycare center
and the request to allow 0-3, General Office District uses as allowable alternative
uses is consistent with the City's Future Land Use Plan. To staff's knowledge
there are no remaining outstanding technical issues associated with the request.
Staff does not feel the redevelopment of the site as proposed will significantly
impact the area.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the request subject to compliance with the
comments and conditions as outlined in paragraphs D, E and F of the agenda
staff report.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (NOVEMBER 4, 2010)
