H. ANALYSIS:
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit to allow the use of the R-2
zoned property at 4820 West 65th Street for a Child Care Facility for twenty (20)
children in the lower level of the existing Tabernacle Missionary Baptist Church
building.
The lot contains the Tabernacle Missionary Baptist Church building with
occupiable ground and lower level, paved parking areas, perimeter fencing and
paved access drives to West 65th Street.
The property is comprised of an existing 7,440 square foot two (2) level structure
on a 1.86-acre lot with existing paved parking areas for approximately forty (40)
vehicles. The site includes a paved drive that access the property on the east and
west sides of the structure and circles the property to the north.
The applicant proposes to utilize the 1,120 square foot lower level of the structure
as a childcare facility for up to twenty (20) children between 6 months and 5 years
in age.
The childcare facility will operate Monday through Friday from 6:00 am to 6:00 pm
and will have up to five (5) employees including one (1) supervisor and four (4)
staff.
The applicant is proposing to utilize five (5) paved parking spaces for use by the
staff. The paved access drive from West 65th Street will serve as the primary
drop-off lane for the children with access to the parking area. Section 36-502
requires a minimum of seven (7) parking spaces for the proposed daycare use.
Staff believes the existing parking will be sufficient to serve the church and
daycare.
No additional dumpster is proposed for the site and trash will be collected using
existing services.
There is no signage proposed for the development. Any new signage must comply
with Section 36-553 (signs allowed in office and institutional uses).
Any new site lighting must be low-level and directed away from the adjacent
properties.
To staff's knowledge, there are no outstanding issues associated with this
application. Staff believes the proposed conditional use located at 4820 West 65th
Street is an appropriate use for this property. The proposed use will not be out of
character with other uses in the general area.
