VII. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES AND GOALS
The Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map (FLUM) designates this site as Commercial. The
purpose of the Commercial designation is to provide a full range of commercial and retail to serve
area residents and visitors. Uses may include retail, wholesale, service and office uses, multi-family
residential, as well as appropriate public uses such as government offices.
Staff finds the following Comprehensive Plan policies to be applicable to this property and apply to
the proposed use (staff analysis in italics):
“Plan for and encourage services like healthcare, daycare, grocery stores, and recreational
areas to be built within walking distance of residential dwellings.” (2.01.01C)
The proposed daycare center is within a large residential subdivision, Paramount
Subdivision. This use will be within walking distance of a large number of residences and
provide a much needed service to residents in the northern part of the City.
For the above-stated reason, staff is of the opinion the proposed use is consistent with the applicable
comprehensive plan policies and is appropriate in this location.
VIII. UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE
A. Purpose Statement of Zone: Per UDC 11-2B-1, the purpose of the commercial districts is to
provide for the retail and service needs of the community in accordance with the Meridian
Comprehensive Plan. Large-scale and a broad mix of retail, office, service and light industrial
uses are allowed in the C-G zoning district in close proximity and/or access to interstate or
arterial intersections.
EXHIBIT A
Raisin’ Angels Daycare – CUP H-2017-0072
B. Schedule of Use: Unified Development Code (UDC) Table 11-2B-3 lists the permitted,
accessory, conditional, and prohibited uses in the C-G zoning district. The proposed daycare
center requires conditional use approval in the C-G zoning district and is subject to the specific
use standards listed in UDC 11-4-3-9, Daycare Facility.
C. Dimensional Standards: The dimensional standards listed in UDC Table 11-2B-3 for the C-G
zoning district apply to this site.
D. Off-Street Parking: Per UDC 11-3C-6B, the applicant is required to provide a minimum of one
off-street vehicle parking space for every 500 square feet of gross floor area. On-site vehicle pick-

IX. ANALYSIS
A. Analysis of Facts Leading to Staff Recommendation:
Conditional Use Permit: The applicant requests a conditional use permit to operate a daycare
center for up to 135 children in a 6,133 square foot facility in a C-G zoning district on 0.76 of an
acre of land as required by UDC Table 11-2B-2. The facility will provide care for infants up to
school age children. The days of operation are Monday through Friday; no hours of operation are
proposed in the application.
Specific Use Standards: The proposed use is subject to the specific use standards listed in UDC
11-4-3-9, Daycare Facility.
A. General standards for all child daycare and adult care uses, including the classifications
of daycare center; daycare, family; and daycare, group:
1. In determining the type of daycare facility, the total number of children at the facility
at one time, including the operator's children, is the determining factor.
The applicant proposes to care for up to 135 children at any one time and therefore
is classified as a daycare center.
2. On site vehicle pick up, parking and turnaround areas shall be provided to ensure safe
discharge and pick up of clients.
The site has a drop-off area in front of the building where cars can pull out of the
main drive-aisle and park to load and unload children.
3. The decision making body shall specify the maximum number of allowable clients
and hours of operation as conditions of approval.
A maximum number of 135 children are proposed to be cared for at one time, which
includes any children of the operator’s. The facility will be open 6:00 am – 7:00 pm
Monday through Friday. The specific use standards allow the facility to operate
between the hours of 6:00 am to 11:00 pm, unless otherwise restricted by the
Commission.
EXHIBIT A
Raisin’ Angels Daycare – CUP H-2017-0072
4. Upon tentative approval of the application by the director or commission for a
daycare center facility, the applicant or owner shall provide proof of criminal
background checks and fire inspection certificates as required by title 39, chapter 11,

requirement with the Certificate of Zoning Compliance application.
5. In residential districts or uses adjoining an adjacent residence, the hours of operation
shall be between six o'clock (6:00) A.M. and eleven o'clock (11:00) P.M. This
standard may be modified through approval of a conditional use permit.
There in not currently residential uses adjacent to this property; however, a multi-
family residential development is in the development process across the street to the
north. Therefore, staff recommends the facility is restricted to the hours between 6:00
am and 11:00 pm.
6. Prior to submittal of an application for an accessory daycare facility in a residential
district, the applicant or owner shall hold a neighborhood meeting in accord with
subsection 11-5A-6C of this title. Notice of the neighborhood meeting shall be

This standard is not applicable to this application.
The applicant shall not exceed the maximum number of clients as stated in the
approved permit or as stated in this title, whichever is more restrictive.
The applicant shall not provide care for more than 135 children, including any of the
applicant’s own children, at any one time.

1. All outdoor play areas shall be completely enclosed by minimum six foot (6') non-
scalable fences to secure against exit/entry by small children and to screen abutting

C. Required Findings from Unified Development Code
1. Conditional Use Permit (UDC 11-5B-6E)
The Commission shall base its determination on the Conditional Use Permit request upon

the site is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan in that the proposed daycare group will
contribute to the variety of uses and educational opportunities available to the surrounding
area.
