G. SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT: (JULY 5, 2001)
Rhonda Ross, Claudia Starks and Barbara Douglas were
present, representing the application. Staff briefly
described the proposed conditional use permit. In response
to a question from staff, Mrs. Ross noted that there would
be two (2) employees on the site.
The issue of signage was briefly discussed. Staff noted the
type of business proposed needed no signage for advertising,
only a small sign to identify the building. This was
discussed further. After the meeting, Mrs. Ross noted that
only a one (1) square foot wall sign would be requested.
The issue of parking was also discussed. Mrs. Ross noted
that the existing drive from Valentine Street would be
widened to provide a drop-off/pick-up space. It was noted
that there was existing parking on the site for the two (2)
employees (carport and driveway).
After the discussion, the Committee forwarded the
application to the full Commission for final action.
H. ANALYSIS:
The applicant is requesting a conditional use permit to
allow an adult day care center at 2506 S. Valentine Street.
The proposal is to convert the existing 929 square foot
residential structure for the day care use. The applicant
proposes to maintain the residential appearance of the
property, with the only proposed changes being a future
covered patio, additional landscaping and widening of the
existing driveway to provide an additional parking space.
There are two (2) existing parking spaces on the site
(carport and driveway), which will be used for employee
parking. The proposed additional space will be for
drop-off/pick-up. The applicant has noted that the
drop-off/pick-up times are expected to be staggered. The
ordinance requires a minimum of three (3) parking spaces to
serve a day care use of this size. Staff has no problem
with the parking plan as proposed.
Staff feels that the adult day care as proposed, with only
two (2) employees and four (4) clients, will be compatible
