ITEM NO.: 1
FILE NO.: Z-8362
NAME: Robinson Day Care Family Home —
Special Use Permit
LOCATION: 1102 West 215t Street
OWNER: Wilma Robinson
APPLICANT: Kimberly Blanton
PROPOSAL: A Special Use Permit is requested to allow a Day
Care Family Home to be operated within the
residential structure at 1102 West 21 st Street.
STAFF NOTE:
After thorough investigation, staff has determined that the proposed day care use
does not qualify for a special use permit for a day care family home. The existing
residential structure is a duplex -type structure with upper and lower individual
units, with no inner connectivity. The lower unit (previously a one -bedroom
apartment with kitchen facility) has been converted to the day care use. The
upper single family unit is not connected to the. lower unit, and therefore the day
care use is not part of the single family home. It is a separate use which staff
has to classify as a day care center.
The applicant has the option of ceasing the day care use or filing for a conditional
use permit for a day care center. Staff will give the applicant to the next filing
date (July 14, 2008) to cease the day care use or file for a conditional use permit.
The filing fee paid by the applicant for the special use permit will be applied to a
conditional use permit, if filed. Staff recommends this Special Use Permit
application be withdrawn.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (JULY 10, 2008)
Staff informed the Commission that the proposed day care use did not qualify for

of the application.
The Chairman placed the item before the Commission for inclusion within the
Consent Agenda for withdrawal. A motion to that effect was made. The motion
passed by a vote of 8 ayes, 0 nays and 3 absent.
