STAFF REPORT
Staff recommends approval with the following conditions:
1. Two (2) paved parking spaces, one being for handicap access, meeting city requirements be
installed on the property (to the left or right hand side of the driveway).
and a waiver to the landscape buffer and screening requirements.
Carol Smith would like to operate a Licensed Child Care Home in her residence located at 675
Alma Street. A Licensed Child Care Home allows the caregiver to provide care for seven (7) to
twelve (12) children under the age of fourteen (14). Childcare hours would be between 6:30
a.m. and 6:30 p.m. An existing six foot fence surrounds an outdoor play area in the rear yard of
the property. In order to maintain the residential nature of the property, Ms. Smith has asked
for a waiver to the landscape buffer and screening requirements for the east and south property
lines. The applicant owns the adjacent, vacant, corner lot to the west. Customers would
mostly be dropping off and picking up the children in the morning and evening. Two (2)
parking spaces, providing a three (3) point turn around in the front yard, will be required.
Please note that final occupancy approval is subject to review and acceptance of submitted plans
and field inspections to verify compliance with applicable codes.
Exhibits are attached.
