The property is currently zoned (OT) Old Town.
In the

attention to the handling of high volumes of traffic,
adequate parking, and pedestrian movement, and to provide
strip commercial development, and must be approved as a
conditional use, unless otherwise permitted.
8.
Conditional Use Permit
is defined in the Zoning and
Development Ordinance as a "Permit allowing an exception to the
uses authorized by this Ordinance in a zoning district."
9.
The Applicant testified substantially as follows.
She
plans on expanding her current child care business which presently
exists in her home.
Currently, there are five children in her
child care.
As part of the expansion of her child care business,
she is purchasing the property in which she will operate her child
care business.
She has been in personal contact with the neighbors
whose
property
adjoins
the
property.
She
states
that
these
neighbors have given her positive feedback on her proposed use of
the property.
The general hours will be from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00
p.m., Monday through Friday.
The business will be closed Saturdays
and Sundays.
The total number of children will be 20, the ages of
whom are newborns to five years of age.
She and her husband will
own and operate the child care business, and will be the employees
of the business.
The Applicant further testified substantially as follows.
She has prepared vicinity maps of the property, which presents two
10.
configurations, Plan "A" and Plan "B," for the property.
She has
met with the Ada County Highway District concerning the use of the
property.
With regard to her discussion with the Ada County
Highway District, there exist two potential configurations for the
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW - Page 3.

property.
She wants to create a "home away from home" atmosphere
for the business.
She wants to preserve the appearance of the
neighborhood and keep the property's appearance as a home.
She
wants to avoid the property appearing as a "day care center."
In
this regard, she will not place a business sign in front of the
property.
She wants to make the appearance of the property and the
business a "home day care," but with a greater number of children.
She is able to provide three parking spaces on the property;
however,
in speaking with City staff,
she understands that the
property needs four parking spaces.
If the Ada County Highway
District does not object, she desires to use the configuration for
the property identified as Plan "A."
Plan "A" provides the fourth
parking space as a paved on-street parking space.
If Plan "A" is
not
acceptable
then
she would
use
the
configuration
for
the
property identified as Plan "B," which would provide the fourth
parking
space
on
the
property
in
front
of
the
house
on
the
property.
She will use which ever configuration is best for the
neighborhood, whether that be Plan "A" or Plan "B."
However, she
again reiterates that she wants the appearance of the business to
be "home away from home."
11.
The Applicant testified that she has read the comments
received on the application.
She will comply with the requirements
stated in those comments.
12.

Buchanan

the
Applicant
substantially testified that she has spoken with them a number of
times
and
personally met with
them twice.

received
no
indication from them whether they were opposed to the application.
14.
Chairman
Johnson
commented
that
he

the
Applicant's desire with regard to the appearance of the business;

meet the parking requirements, the Applicant testified that under
Plan "B" the additional off-street parking space is provided at the
front of the house on the property.

the number of children at the business, the Applicant testified
substantially as follows.
She and her husband can manage 13 plus
children.
She has taken care of five plus children for two years.
She has a degree in child development and originally started
working in social work.
Due to the atmosphere of the social work,
she decided to start shaping children at an early age rather than
reacting to that which occurs later.
The care of children has
become a love of hers and the line of work she desires to pursue.
16.
In response to questions of Commissioner MacCoy,
the
Applicant substantially testified as follows.
One of the children

is her child.
In terms of the square footage of the building on
the property,
the maximum number of children permitted is 20.
Comr:1.Ìssioner NacCoy conunented that 20 children at the proposed day
care facility seems to be a lot.

has set goals for the ratio of the age of the children.
She will
not have 20 infants.
Rather, she will allow two infants and four

cix feet high privacy fence will be erected along the area where
t:hf~ three parking :.paces are to be located and run to the new
fourteen feet high privacy fence depicted on the configurations.
This fence will have a locking gate.
She will use a combination

with children climbing on their fence.
The new privacy fence to be
constructed will prevent access to their fence.
There are no
neighbors directly behind the property.
To the south of the
property is Weast TV and to the southeast and northeast is a
construction company.
The privacy fence will help reduce the
amount of noise.
18.
In response to questions
of Commissioner Borup,
the
Applicant substantially testified as follows.
With regard to the
number of children, Health and Welfare has a ratio of 1 [adult] to
12 [children].
The configuration of the parking areas is based
upon her discussion with the Ada County Highway District.
It
recommended that three parking spaces be located to the north of
the house on the property and one parking space at the front of the
house.
She developed the configurations depicted as Plan "A" and
Plan "B" based upon the recommendations of the Ada County Highway
District.
19.
Shari stiles commented that in regard to the off-street
parking requirement, the Applicant believed her property extended
to the edge of the pavement on East 3rd Street.
However, in fact
the right-of-way is 80 feet so the right-of-way extends beyond the
pavement to the existing sidewalk, which area is not paved.
The
Applicant stated that it was her impression that the property
extended to the edge of the existing pavement.

set time period for which a conditional use may be in existence.
5.
Section 11-2-418 D. states as follows:
In approving any Conditional Use, the Conunission and
Council may prescribe appropriate conditions, bonds, and

shall be deemed a violation of the Ordinance and grounds
to revoke the Conditional Use. The Commission and
Council may prescribe a set time period for which a
Conditional Use may be in existence. .
6.
The City has judged this application for a conditional
use upon the basis of guidelines contained in Section 11-2-418 of
the Revised and Compiled Ordinances of the City of Meridian and
upon the basis of the Local Planning Act of 1975, Title 67 Chapter

City of Meridian sets forth the standards under which the Planning
and
Zoning
Commission
and
the
City
Council
shall
review
applications for Conditional Use Permits.
Upon a review of those
requirements and a review of the facts presented and the conditions
of the area and assuming that the above conditions or similar ones
thereto would be attached to the conditional use, the Planning and
Zoning Commission concludes as follows:
a. The use, would in fact, constitute a conditional use
and a conditional use permit would be required by
ordinance;
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW - Page 12.
RHONDA WILLIAMSON/R-HOUSE CHILD CARE

b. The use would be harmonious with and in accordance
with the Comprehensive Plan but the Zoning Ordinance
requires a conditional use permit to allow the use;
c. The use and appearance are designed and constructed
to be harmonious in appearance with the character of the
general vicinity. If the conditions set forth herein are
complied with the use should be operated and maintained
to be harmonious with the intended character of the
general vicinity and should not change the essential
character of the area;
d. The use would not be hazardous nor should it be
disturbing to existing or future neighboring uses if the
conditions are met; that traffic may increase, but due to
proposed configuration of the driveway and off-street
parking it should not be a problem;
e. The property has sewer and water service already
connected, but the Applicant may have to pay additional
fees for the use;
f. The use would not create excessive additional
requirements at public cost for public facilities and
services and the use would not be detrimental to the
economic welfare of the community;
g. If the conditions are met, the use should not
involve a use, activity, process, material, equipment or
conditions of operation that would be detrimental to
person, property or the general welfare by reason of
excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes,
glare or odors;
h. Sufficient parking for the proposed use will be
required to meet the requirements of the City ordinance;
and
i. The development and uses will not result in the
destruction, loss or damage of a natural or scenic
feature of major importance.
