Item 14: Public Hearing: CUP 04-027 Request for a Conditional Use Permit for a daycare facility for up to 150 children in a C-G zone for Primary Colors Daycare by Primary Colors, Inc. - east of South Eagle Road and south of East Overland Road: Borup: Next item is Public Hearing CUP 04-027, request for a Conditional Use Permit for a daycare facility for up to 150 children in a C-G zone for Primary Colors Daycare by Primary Colors. South Eagle and south of East Overland. We'd like to open this hearing and start with the staff report. Kirkpatrick: Mr. Chairman, Members of the Commission, this application is a Conditional Use Permit for a childcare center. The application is a Conditional Use Permit, because they are proposing to serve 150 children. The subject property is Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission August 19, 2004 Page 35 of 82 located in Silverstone Business Park and it's the site for both Citi Bank and for T Mobile, so it's probably a prime location for a daycare center out there. The daycare center will be licensed by the state of Idaho and will meet all state daycare criteria. The applicant also operates another daycare in Boise and one in Eagle, just to give you some background on the applicant. And here is an aerial, which is not quite up to date, but shows some of Silverstone. And here is a copy of the site plan. The proposed project meets all site plan criteria for the Conditional Use Permit. It has all of the required parking, landscape buffers, and landscaping for the parking lot. The site consists of a large -- of a building, which is approximately 8,000 square feet in size. This is the childcare building. And, then, a large play area, which includes two sand boxes, playground equipment, and the applicant has submitted detailed drawings of what the playground equipment is going to look like for the site. The only real issue with this site plan, since it has been submitted to the Planning and Zoning Commission, that the fire chief has commented he wants to see a turnaround at the southern end of that eastern - - of the parking lot on the east part of the site. So, to do that turnaround, most likely they are going -- I haven't seen a reconfiguration yet. They are going to have to lose a couple of parking spaces. Right now this site is over parked, but we will want to make sure that when they submit the revised site plan they still meet the parking requirements for the daycare center where they are proposing to serve 150 children. And that's really the only outstanding issue. Staff recommends approval of this project. Oh. And here is some elevations of the proposed daycare center. Do you have any questions of staff? Zaremba: I do have a question. Borup: Commissioner Zaremba. Zaremba: Essentially, the parking area, I think we have had discussion on other larger daycares -- and by that, the biggest one I remember is like 40 kids, but they tend to not need as much parking as they need a real drop off area that would be in and out and I'm thinking if we are looking at 150 kids, shouldn't there, near the entrance, be something that's specifically a drop off area that allows the traffic to flow smoothly? Kirkpatrick: Well, I will have the applicant address where -- where they envision the drop off area being. Our code requires these spaces. They are required to have one space every ten children and one for every staff member. So, they are required -- I think worked out to have about 35 spaces. So, that's -- that's part of the code that we can't modify. But we will have the applicant go ahead and address the drop off issue. Zaremba: Okay. Thank you. Borup: Okay. Would the applicant like to make their presentation? Canning: Chairman Borup, just a quick comment. Parents are -- and the applicant can verify this, but the parents are required to sign their children in inside the door, so you can't really just drop them off, as might have happened in past times. You have to walk them inside the door. Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission August 19. 2004 Page 36 of 82 Zaremba: I think I betrayed the fact that I don't have children. I'm not up to date on those kind of procedures. Borup: I think that was the testimony at previous -- some of the previous ones, that they require them to bring them in the door. Okay. Hobbs: Chris Hobbs, 12552 West Executive. Chairman and Commissioners, I'd like to thank the staff for their comments. They did a good job. They did mention the concern with the turnaround for fire and trash -- actually, we have spoken with the fire department, with Ken Bowers, and I believe we also have the -- an okay in speaking with SSC, that instead of a turnaround, this area here is going to be opened up more and be striped no parking, so that they can -- let's see, they can come in and, then, back up and, then, go out again and they said that they'd have enough space to work that. And they already mentioned the point with the drop off that they have to go in and do that anyway. And at the other two daycare centers they are set up and they have similar parking schemes, so -- and it seems to work all right. And I will stand for any questions. Thank you. Zaremba: You answered mine. Borup: Questions from any of the other Commissioners? Okay. Thank you. Newton-Huckabay: Is there not room to put -- Borup: Go ahead, Commissioner. Newton-Huckabay: -- where you would turn around, rather than back up? Borup: Your question was is there -- Hobbs: No, there is not. What they were wanting was some sort of T or something that would cut way into here and there just wasn't -- we looked at all sorts of ways, we spent a couple days looking at it and discussing it, and we just couldn't make any of the other options work until we figured that out. Rohm: And the fire chief is agreeable to your solutions? Hobbs: Yes. We spoke with Ken Bowers. Rohm: That's an important one. Kirkpatrick: And, Chairman, Members of the Commission, we want to make sure that we have documentation of that prior to the City Council hearing. We don't have it yet. Borup: And that's in the works? Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission August 19, 2004 Page 37 of 82 Hobbs: Yes. Okay. Thank you. Do we have anyone else to testify on this application? Seeing none, Commissioners? Moe: Mr. Chairman, I move we close the Public Hearing. Rohm: Second. Borup: Motion and second, All in favor? MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
