NAME: St. Luke United Methodist Church Day Care —
Revised Conditional Use Permit
LOCATION: 6401 West 32"d Street
OWNERIAPPLICANT: Pulaski Heights United Methodist Church
PROPOSAL: A revision to the previously approved conditional use
permit is requested to allow for an expansion of the
hours of operation for the day care center to be
operated in this existing church building. The
property is zoned R-3.
STAFF REPORT:
On May 11, 2017, the Commission approved a conditional use permit to allow a
day care center to be operated in the existing church building located on this R-3
zoned property. The day care center was approved with an enrollment of
50 children with hours of operation being Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to
6:00 p.m. The site contains an asphalt -paved parking lot with more than
sufficient parking available to accommodate the day care. A playground is
located adjacent to and behind the building. Signage is to consist of either an
addition to the church's existing ground sign or the addition of a second, small
sign. On March 15, 2017, the church hosted a neighborhood meeting to explain
their application. No one from the neighborhood attended. There is no bill of
assurance for this acreage tract. Required right-of-way dedication was
completed subsequent to the commission's approval of the CUP.
The application was filed by St. Luke United Methodist Church in partnership with
Pulaski Heights United Methodist Church. At that time, the churches were
involved in a process whereby the two churches would combine. That process
has been completed and St. Luke is now a second campus of Pulaski Heights.
When the church was going through its final approval through State DHS, it was
discovered that the approved hours of operation were not what Pulaski Heights
intended. It was their intention to request hours of operation to be Monday
through Friday, 6:00 a.m. — 11:59 p.m. The longer hours of operation will allow
for flexibility for parents who may have non-traditional work schedules. The
church is now seeking approval of a revision to the approved CUP to allow those
expanded hours.
Notice of the public hearing was sent to all owners of properties located within
200 feet of the site and the College Terrace, Broadmoor, Broadmoor Property
