Conditional Use Request for a Group Childcare Facility
e Request to operate a Group Childcare Center for six to twelve (6-12)
Children in an R-8 Zone, at 1537 W. 15th Street, by Stephanie Edwards. (File
No. CUP-O5-011)
We have reviewed this submittal and offer the following comments, as conditions of the
applicant. These conditions shall be considered in full, unless expressly modified or deleted by
motion of the Meridian City Council:
APPLICATION SUMMARY
The applicant, Stephanie Edwards, has submitted a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) requesting
approval of a Group Childcare Facility in a single family residence. The property is located at
1537 West 15"' St. The site is currently zoned R-8. A group childcare facility in the R-8 zone
requires CUP approval (MCC 11-8-1).
There is one single family residential structure on the site. Approximately 1,000 square-feet of
the primary building, which is currently a single family residence, will be used for the
childcare center. The parking layout proposed by the applicant does not meet Meridian City
Code for location or design. Parking for the existing, proposed, and future uses need to be
designated and (see Standards for Conditional Uses "A" below).
Specific standards for a conditional use group childcare facility are not identified in the MCC.
Staff is using the standards for a fallÙly daycare (1-5 children) as the basis for a
recommendation. Family daycare (1-5 children) is listed as a home occupation with standards
cUP-as-oIl
Edwards Daycare
as listed in MCCl1-9-4B2. Staff has also included an analysis of the considerations related to
fire protection and general safety and welfare.
Familv Childcare Home Standards (MCC 11-9-4B2) - The following standards are listed as
minimum requirements for the establishment of a Family Childcare Home:
a. Secure and maintain a childcare license from the Idaho State Department of Health
and Welfare, Childcare Licensing Division, if required.
b. Acquire an occupancy certificate and/or building permit.
c. Provide one off-street parking space per employee which may be in the driveway of
the home.
d. Provide for child pickup area located off of arterial or collector streets.
e. Provide for screening of adjacent properties to protect children from adverse impacts
and to provide a buffer between properties.
f. Provide a fence of appropriate height/construction, to enclose play areas, protection
children from traffic on arterial or collector streets.
LOCATION
The subject property is located at 1537 W. 15th Street, near the intersection of Linder and
Cherry, in Section 12, Township 3 North, Range I West. Lot 9 Block 3 Northgate No.2
Subdivision.
SURROUNDING PROPERTIESIUSES
North: Single Family Residential, R-8 Northgate Subdivision
South: Single Family Residential, R-8 Northgate Subdivision
East: Single Family Residential, R-8 Northgate Subdivision
West: Single Family Residential, R-8 Northgate Subdivision
CURRENT OWNERS OF RECORD
Stephanie Edwards is the current owner of the subject property and he has submitted an
affidavit of legal interest to allow the application to be submitted on the subject property.
STANDARDS FOR CONDITIONAL USES
The Commission and Council shall review the particular facts and circumstances of each
proposed conditional use in terms of the following and may approve a conditional use permit
if they shall find evidence presented at the hearing(s) is adequate to establish (11-17-3):
A.
That the site is large enough to accommodate the proposed use and all yards, open
spaces, parking, landscaping and other features as may be required by this
ordinance;
Meridian City Code 11-13-1 requires a new use to provide parking and/or loading
facilities in accordance with Title II. One parking space is required for every 10
children, plus 1 space is required per employee for a daycare center (MCC 11-13-5).
Currently there are two (possibly three), un-striped parking stalls on the east side of the
building.
CUP-O5-011

The applicant has not shown a parking plan that adequately accommodates the use. The
proposed site plan shows a paved driveway area and a large RV parking area. The site
has an approximate 300 sq ft garage and approximately 20' wide driveway; standard
parking stalls are 9'x 19'. It is practical that the resident will utilize the garage for the
required "one employee" parking requirement and the driveway would accommodate the
one required parking stall (1 per 10 children). The street is not an arterial or collector
street.
Staff finds that the subject property may be large enough to accommodate the requested
use and the required parking; however, it is not currently designed to do that.
B.
That the proposed use and development plan will be harmonious with the Meridian
Comprehensive Plan and in accordance with the requirements of this Ordinance;
The current Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designates the property as "medium
density residential" and is currently zoned "R-8". Staff finds that the requested
secondary use of a group daycare in a single family residential building is a "Conditional
Use" according to MCCI1-8-1. Staff finds that if the group daycare use is approved with
conditions by the Commission and the Council, the use will be compatible with the
Meridian Zoning Ordinance and the Comprehensive Plan.
C.
That the design, construction, operation, and maintenance will be compatible with
other uses in the general neighborhood and with the existing or intended character
of the general vicinity and that such use will not adversely change the essential
character of the same area;
The site plan shows the yard is fenced with a 6' high wooden fence and maintained
and gated in working condition. There is existing vegetation which has been
maintained in healthy condition. It is staff's opinion that the site is of a sufficient size
for the requested number of children, but the applicant should be required to comply
with Idaho State Department of Health and Welfare, Childcare Licensing Division and
acquire an occupancy certificate and/or building pennit to certify the building and play
area.
It is often difficult to find an ideal location for a daycare center. Residents often oppose
daycares, and commercial businesses often have concerns about having children in close
proximity to their business, but childcare facilities are a very valuable resource.
Therefore, site design is critical for finding a successful location. Staff recommends that
the Council rely upon public testimony, staffs analysis, and other agency comments
when determining if the proposed use is compatible with the neighborhood residential
uses in the area and if the use will adversely change the existing and intended character
ofthe area.
D.
That the proposed use, if it complies with all conditions of the approval imposed,
will not adversely affect other property in the vicinity;
Please see above finding. Staff recommends that the Council rely upon public testimony,
staff's analysis, and other agency comments when determining if the proposed use is
CUP-O5-O11
Edwards Daycare

E.
F.
G.
H.
compatible with other uses in the area and if the use will adversely affect other property
in the vicinity.
That the proposed use will be served adequately by essential public facilities and
services such as highways, street, police, and fire protection, drainage structures,
refuse disposal, water, sewer or that the person responsible for the establishment of
proposed conditional use shall be able to provide adequately any such services;
On March II, 2005, a joint agency/department comments meeting was held with
representatives of key service providers to this property. The Meridian Fire Department
requested an inspection to determine conditions and needs in order to adequately serve
the project.
Water and sanitary sewer service currently exist to the site.
Staff finds that the proposed development can be adequately served by the essential
public facilities and services listed above, if improvements are made by the applicant in
accordance with existing policies, ordinances and the international building and fire
codes.
That the proposed use will not create excessive additional requirements at public
cost for public facilities and services and will not be detrimental to the economic
welfare of the community;
If approved, the applicant will be financing the installation of any required upgrades to
the building necessary to serve the project. The Meridian Fire and Police Departments
currently provide service to the site. Staff finds there will not be excessive additional
requirements at public cost and that the proposed use will not be detrimental to the
community's economic welfare.
That the proposed use will not involve activities or processes, materials, equipment,
and conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any persons, property, or
general welfare by reason of excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes,
glare or odors;
Staff recognizes that traffic and noise from vehicles coming to and going from this site
will increase; staff does not believe that the amount of traffic and noise generated will be
detrimental to the general welfare of the public. Staff finds that the proposed use should
not be detrimental to neighboring properties because the use will not generate excessive
traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors.
That the proposed use will have vehicular approaches to the property which shall
be so designed as not to create an interference with traffic on surrounding public
streets;
ACHD has not made comment on the site. The approaches lie on a local street on a dead
end road, the access of the site will not impact traffic significantly more than a single
family residence. Staff finds that the proposed use will not create significant
interference with any traffic on the surrounding public streets.

I.
That the proposed use will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural,
scenic or historic feature considered to be of major importance.

area that may be affected by the issuance of this conditional use.
