H. ANALYSIS:
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit to allow a day care facility to
be operated in the single-family residence on the R-2 zoned property located at
8704 Oman Road. The proposed day care family home will have a maximum of
sixty to sixty-seven (60-67) children, with seven to ten (7-10) staff members at the
location.
The applicant proposes the hours of operation to be from 6:30 am to 6.30 pm,
Monday through Friday.
The site contains a 3,200 square foot, one-story, L-shaped building located south
of the intersection of Poppy Road and Oman Road. Access to the rear yard is
along Toombs Road. The residence contains a fence around the backyard of the
building. R-2 zoning and uses are contained in all directions.
The loading zone will be in front of the property adjacent to Oman Road. The
proposal calls for new paving in this area, and a proposed fence will be constructed
between the parking area and the building. A playground area will be added to the
property, which will be located behind the new fence, close to the building. Another
playground area is proposed behind the building in the rear of the property.
Signage will comply with all zoning requirements (Section 36-553 of the code) and
will be located near the Oman Road right-of-way. A new dumpster encloser will
be added at the north-east corner of the parking area. The application calls for
eleven (11) parking spaces at the location. Staff believes the parking will be
sufficient to serve the proposed daycare use.
Staff feels the proposed day care family home at this location will have no adverse
impact on the general area.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the conditional use permit, subject to compliance
with the comments and conditions outlined in paragraph E and the staff analysis
of the agenda staff report.
