ORDINANCE DESIGN STANDARDS:
1. Site Location:
Brown - Conditional Use Permit
2100 Vancouver Drive
Harold and Brenda Brown
A conditional use permit is
requested to allow for the
continuation of a 16-child day
care center within the
existing residence at 2100
Vancouver Drive, zoned R-2.
The site is located on the west side of Vancouver
Drive, north of west 28th Street. This residential
area is located west of Boyle Park and east of Barrow
Road within the John Barrow Neighborhood Association.
2. Compatibility with Neighborhood:
This residence/day care center is located in an area
exclusively residential in nature. Uses and zoning in
this area range from single-family to multifamily (MF-
6) .
The continuation of the existing day care center (which
has existed at this location for two years) should have
no adverse effects on the surrounding properties.
The John Barrow Neighborhood Association was notified
of the public hearing.
3. On -Site Drives and Parking:
Access to the site is gained by utilizing an existing
residential driveway.
The City's Zoning Ordinance requires three (3) parking
spaces: one (1) for the single-family residence and
two (2) for the day care use. The applicant states
that four (4) vehicles can be parked on the existing
driveway. Although these parking spaces do not meet
the ordinance requirements (minimum size and
maneuvering area), parking has apparently not been a

A. PROPOSAL:
The owner proposes to remodel a run down dwelling into an
office for an insurance agency office. Several parts of the
building will be removed and two new rooms added as well as
off-street parking. The owner will remove overgrown
property line vegetation, replant and also save one
exceptional tree in the rear yard.
B. EXISTING CONDITIONS:
A one family dwelling occupies the lot currently. It has
been vacant several months and is deteriorating rapidly.
The lots to the east and north are single family, well
maintained and oriented to streets off Markham or Sante Fe
Drive. To the south is a large church complex on the south
side of Markham Street. Abutting the lot on the west is an
office use as are the next several lots running west.

None at this writing, the Sante Fe Heights neighborhood was
notified as well as those persons within 200 feet.

F. ISSUES/TECHNICAL/DESIGN:
Landsca e-
The Landscape Ordinance requires a minimum four foot wide
landscape strip west of the proposed vehicular use area
unless a variance is approved by the City Beautiful
Commission. The plan submitted only provides for a width of
two feet.
The full on site buffer width requirement along West Markham
Street is eight feet. A portion of this requirement may be
transferred to other areas of the site but is required to
not drop below a width of six feet. The plan submitted only
provides for a width of four feet.
A six foot high opaque screen is required to screen this
site from the residential properties to the north and east.
Existing natural vegetation can count toward fulfilling this

requirement where it provides the required year-round
screening. The site must meet with Landscape Ordinance
requirements.
Issues•
Planning Division:
The site is in the Rodney Parham District. The Plan
recommends Suburban Office. The request is for an Office
use. The requested zoning is PDO. The request appears to
be in conformance with the Plan.
G. ANALYSIS•
The staff review produces several items that require
followup but the plan as presented we think will produce an
office site that works and will not adversely affect the
neighborhood. The several items yet to be dealt with are:
1. Limit parking in front yard to two spaces.
2. Save all large trees outside marked parking spaces.
3. As much as possible leave north boundary undisturbed.
4. Cleanup eastern property line but retain useful plants.
5. Work with Public Works on drive apron.
6. Revise plan to clean up drawing. (Remove as is.)
7. Note building exterior finish after remodel.
8. Note signage desired. (Possible office district limit)
9. Provide copies of any agreements on common property line
landscape maintenance.
10. Check Bill of Assurance conflict.
11. Provide list of uses for possible future conversion or
occupancy.

The Staff supports the efforts of Mr.

and Public Works
(JULY 17, 1997)
The application was represented by Mr. Clevenger, the owner of
the property. The Staff presented its comments on the proposal.
The site plan was discussed at length relative to parking, tree
retention, landscaping and buffer requirements. Mr. Clevenger
was very receptive to addressing these design items. He stated
that he could only save one of the large oaks in the back yard
because of the root problem and condition of one tree.
