twenty-six (26) parking stalls on this property (however three will be reserved for use by the adjoining dentist's office). There are no specific parking requirements in City Code for daycare centers, but there appears to be ample parking for this use. Staff would like to note that there has been some concern from residents about this facility utilizing adjoining parcels, all activities by the daycare/preschool will take place on the subject property only. Also of concern were the current traffic levels on Dysprosium Street. The City has approved a project to calm traffic in the area. The projects approved by City Council do not require any additional property. Concerns were also raised at the June 3rd Planning Commission meeting by residents near the proposed daycare. The primary concerns raised were an increase in traffic and noise from the playground area. As the daycare will be limited to only forty-five (45) children, there will generally be a maximum of ninety (90) trips per day to the facility. This traffic will be staggered throughout the morning and afternoon hours. With regards to the noise, the Applicant has stated that the facility will be made up of classes, and does not expect that all forty-five (45) children will be utilizing the playground area at one time. Staff would also note that these concerns were raised at the Public Hearing for the Cubby's Deli and Learning Lodge Conditional Use Permit. This CUP was approved in July, 2007. To date, the City has not received any complaints regarding noise or traffic issues. Recommendation: On June 3, 2010 the Planning Commission recommended approval of the Conditional Use Permit. Funding: All costs associated with processing the application are the responsibility of the applicant. Council Action: Motion to adopt Resolution # _ adopting Findings of Fact relating to the applicant's request for a conditional use permit; -and- Motion to adopt Resolution # _ approving the applicant's request for a conditional use permit to operate a preschool/daycare center in the Mallard Ponds PUD, based on the Findings of Fact. -or- Motion to deny the applicant's request for a conditional use permit based on the Findings of Fact.
