CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT — DAY CARE
Proposed Action
Staff recommends the following motion: Move to adopt Resolution 13-72, approving a
conditional use permit to operate a day care at 715 Mainstreet.

Overview
Family Resources & Child Care Center has applied for a conditional use permit to operate a
day care at 715 Mainstreet. The property is zoned B-3, General Business. The Zoning
Ordinance requires a conditional use permit for the operation of a day care. Previously the
site was used for a retail space.
The site plan indicates four classrooms for a total of 55 children. The proposed hours of
operation are 6 a.m. to midnight, seven days a week. The day care will service children from
one month to 12 years. The target cliental is full-time working, single parents and drop-in
customers. The drop-off area for the children will be in the back, on the north side of the
building. The daycare will use city parks for their playground.
Primary Issues to Consider
• What is the zoning of the property, and how has the Comprehensive Plan
designated the subject site?
• What are the conditions for a day care facility?
• What are the parking requirements?
• Does the proposed business have a state license?
• What was the discussion at the Zoning and Planning meeting?

Primary 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 a day care facility?
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 indicates two drop off spaces. There
will be 16 staff members, comprised of eight teachers, four teacher aids, director/assistant
director, receptionist, driver and meal prep staff person. The staff will park at the city lots,
and staff is recommending that this be a condition of approval.
• Does the proposed business 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 applicant receiving a state license.
• What was the discussion at the Zoning and Planning meeting?
Ms. Anderson reviewed the proposed daycare. Fortun, Hussan, and Hassan, the applicants,
appeared before the Commission. The Commission and the applicants discussed the
playground, hours, number of children, parking, and clients.
The public hearing was opened at 6:50 p.m. Monica Rommel, the owner of the building,
appeared before the Commission. Ms. Rommel stated that they had reviewed their business
plan and found it acceptable. Tom Baker, the leasing agent, appeared before the
Commission. Mr. Baker stated that they would also mark a lane in the back for drop-off.
Mr. Kuznia moved and Mr. Kerssen seconded a motion to close the public hearing at 6:52
p.m. The motion was approved unanimously.
