7. Staf f final •s i.s :
The applicant is requesting a conditional use permit to
allow for the location of a daycare and kindergarten
within the existing Geyer Springs First Baptist Church
building at 12400 Interstate 30, which is zoned R-2. The
site currently consists of a large church building and
parking lot. on September 6, 1994 the Little Rock
Planning Commission approved a conditional use permit for
the temporary placement of four (4) portable classroom
buildings, but these buildings have not yet been placed
on the site. The proposed daycare/kindergarten will be
located within the existing church building and no new
buildings are being proposed for the site at this time.
At present, the applicant is proposing to have an
enrollment of 99 children. In the future, the entire
church congregation will relocate to this facility from
the Geyer Springs Road facility, and the daycare/
kindergarten will expand to a maximum enrollment of 200
children.
The applicant is also proposing a 70 foot by 90 foot
playground area to be located at the northwest corner
of the building (as shown on-site plan). The
playground will be located where one of the four future
classrooms was approved to be placed on the site. If
the portable classrooms are ever placed on the site,
the location of this particular one will need to be
altered slightly.
With the church site being located in the middle of 165
acres and the existing church building being located
over 500 feet from the nearest property line, the
proposed daycare/kindergarten will have no effect on
the surrounding properties.
