Primarv Issues to Consider
• What is the zoning of the property, and how has the Comprehensive Plan
designated the subject site?
The subject property is zoned B-3, General Business. The Comprehensive Plan has
designated the site as Commercial. The proposed use complies with both documents.
• What are the conditions for day care?
535.03. Subd. 2. Conditional uses with B districts:
E} Day care facility provided:
1. Said operation shall be licensed.
• What are the parking requirements?
The parking requirement is one space per classroom. In this case there are four classrooms,
which will require four parking spaces. The site plan indicated 17 parking spaces for the
entire site. There are additional drop off spaces.
• Does the site have a state license?
At the time this report was written, the applicants had applied for a license. Any approval
will be contingent on the applicants receiving a state license.
Alternatives
1. Recommend approval of the conditional use permit to operate a day care. By
recommending approval of the conditional use permit, the City Council will consider a
recommendation of approval.
2. Recommend denial of the conditional use permit. By recommending denial of the
conditional use pennit, the City Council will consider a recommendation of denial. If the
Planning Commission considers this alternative, findings will have to be identified that
support this alternative.
3. Continue for further information. If the Planning Commission indicates that further
infonnation is needed, the item should be continued.
