STAFF ANALYSIS:
The request is for a special use permit to allow a day-care
family home for not more than 10 children, including the
care giver's own children. A special use permit must be
obtained and meet licensing requirements established by the
State of Arkansas prior to operating. (It is the staff's
understanding that this particular request is the result of
enforcement action because the day-care is currently in
operation.)
The Zoning Ordinance does not provide any specific criteria
for reviewing a special use permit, but does state "a method
of control over certain types of land uses that require some
review procedure which allows for determination of their
appropriateness within the neighborhood for which they are
proposed and for public comment."
In reviewing this request, the staff looked at several
issues to provide some guidance in making a decision. These
included: (1) meeting State requirements for licensing,
(2) adequate yard area, (3) impact upon surrounding
neighbors, (4) an adequate drop-off area, and (5) impact on
traffic circulation.

Item No. 27 - Continued
The applicant has received the necessary license from the
State and appears to be providing adequate yard area because
that is part of the State's review. Being on a corner lot
and abutting alley, the day-care should have a minimal
impact on the immediate neighbors. The lot has a good
drop-off area on the West 26th Street side that allows the
cars to stop without interrupting the flow of traffic, and
because of only keeping a maximum of 10 children, there
should be no impact on the streets. Based on these factors,
staff supports a special use permit for 2601 South Johnson.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the special use permit request.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION:
The applicant was present. There were no objectors in
attendance. The Planning Commission discussed the item
briefly and then voted to recommend approval of a special
use permit. The vote: 9 ayes, 0 noes and 1 absent.
