SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT: (January 5, 2011) Mr. Deloney was present representing the request. Staff presented an overview of the request stating there were few outstanding technical issues associated with the request. Staff questioned if there was an existing dumpster or if one was proposed for the site. Staff also questioned the days and hours of operation, the maximum number of clients and if transportation would be provided. Staff also stated a screening fence would be required along the southern and eastern perimeters of the proposed playground area. Staff questioned if any upgrades in landscaping or paving were proposed for the site. Public Works comments were addressed. Staff stated measures to control the increase in stormwater runoff from the increased impervious surface should be implemented to not damage adjacent property. Staff also stated any broken curb, gutter or sidewalk located within the public right of way should be repaired prior to occupancy. Staff noted no new landscaping would be required with the current request since there was no new paving proposed. Staff noted comments from the other reporting departments and agencies suggesting the applicant contact them individually for additional clarification. There was no further discussion of the item. The Committee then forwarded the item to the full Commission for final action. H. ANALYSIS: The applicant submitted a revised cover letter and site plan to staff addressing the issues raised at the January 5, 2011, Subdivision Committee meeting. The revised plan indicates the placement of a dumpster along the southern perimeter. The revised cover letter indicates the number of clients, the days and hours of operation and the number of employees. The revised site plan indicates there is existing landscaping located in front of the building and there are areas of open space located on the site. The request is a rezoning of the site from R-2, Single-family to PD-C to allow the continued use of the site as an adult daycare center as well as adding child daycare service to the site. The site contains an existing metal building being used as an adult daycare center. There are 25 adult clients at the center. The applicant is requesting to add a maximum of 60 child clients to the site. The existing building will be modified with the construction of a separation wall and a separate entrance will be placed on the front facade of the building to accommodate the two uses. The only exterior modification proposed to the site is the addition of a playground area. The playground will be located to the south of the building. A six (6) foot screening fence will be installed around the playground area. Paving of the existing gravel drive extending from Mabelvale Cut-off into the site will be added within the next five (5) years. M FILE NO.� Z-8579-A(Cont. The site contains 10 parking spaces. Parking for a daycare facility is based on one parking space per employee, administrator or teacher plus one space per 10 persons of licensed capacity. The Bill of Assurance for the two lot Perry Acres Subdivision may still be active and includes the following statement: "No lot shall be used except for residential purposes." However, Lot 2, which is located to the west, was previously rezoned to PCD for an automobile repair business. Otherwise to staff's knowledge there are no remaining outstanding technical issues associated with the request. Staff feels the rezoning of the site from R-2, Single-family to PCD to recognize the existing adult daycare and add child daycare service to the site will not significantly impact the area.
