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 proposed use will not be out of character with other uses in the general area. Staff believes the proposed daycare facility will have no adverse impact on the neighborhood or surrounding uses.
