Conditional Use Permit No. 2017 -11 April 10, 2017 Page 3 Staff has reviewed the applicant's request to expand the existing child care facility and is supportive of the request. To avoid potential adverse impacts associated with the child care facility use, a number of conditions are proposed to be attached to the conditional use permit. It is not anticipated that the expanded child care facility, in conjunction with the proposed conditions, will adversely affect the surrounding residential or commercial community. Parking for the child care and residential uses meets code, with 27 parking spaces required and 28 provided. In addition, upgrades will be made to the site, including the addition of new paved areas for parking, an enlarged outdoor play area, and interior modifications to meet Building and Fire codes. The expanded child care facility will provide a long -term social benefit to the community as the facility will increase the educational competence of children in the immediate area and will provide a supportive learning environment for preschool aged children. These services will serve to increase the safety and general welfare of children in the area. Additionally, no adverse impacts are anticipated as a result of the project's approval. The facility will continue to operate in compliance with all applicable regulations and conditions imposed on a child care facility pursuant to Chapter 41 of the SAMC. Finally, the proposed CUP will be consistent with several goals and policies of the General Plan, including Goal 1 of the Land Use Element to promote a balance of land uses to address basic community needs and Goal 3 to preserve and improve the character and integrity of neighborhoods.
