REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION DATE: 04/27/98 ITEM NO: 1-3 Agenda Section: LAND USE Miniapple International Montessori request to amend a conditional use permit to allow the expansion of a day care facility at 1875 Perimeter Drive (PF#2991). 1.0 REQUESTED ACTION 1,1 Miniapple International Montessori is requesting an amended conditional use permit to allow the expansion of a day care facility at 1875 Perimeter Drive. 1.2 The conditional use permit process for this request allows the City to consider compatibility with adjoining properties; impacts on traffic, public facilities, and property values; impact on the general health, safety, and public welfare; and compatibility with the City's comprehensive plan. The process also allows the City to impose those conditions it considers necessary to protect the public health, safety, and welfare. 2.0 BACKGROUND 2.1 Udi and Mithula Perera own the property located at 1875 Perimeter Drive and operate the Miniapple International Montessori on this property. The property is located in a B-1 B Limited Retail District, and the Comprehensive Plan designates the property as Business. Adjacent land uses include a variety of commercial uses to the north, south, east, and west. 2.2 The property is currently occupied by an 3,800 square foot day care facility, which was granted a conditional use permit in November 1993. The facility provides day care services to children from six weeks to six years of age. The existing site has a fenced play area at the front of the building (approximately 4,600 square feet). The property shares a common driveway easement with its neighbor to the west (Willow Gate Restaurant), with the property line being located down the center of this driveway. The property also shares parking lot access easements in the rear of the building with its neighbor to the east (Fairdale Shoppes). 2.3 The proposed expansion will include the construction of a 4,815 square foot addition, which will bring the total building area to 8,615 square feet. The fenced in play area in the front of the building will be reconfigured to provide six parking spaces on the west side of the play area. One tree within the play area will be relocated to accommodate this parking area. Other than the extension of sidewalk along the west side of the addition and the placement of sod along the east side of the addition, no other site improvements are proposed. 2.4 In conjunction with the application for a conditional use, the following documents PF#2991 - RPCA (04/08/98) - Page 1 of 4
