<br /> <br />The off-street parking supply for the subject building was originally calculated based upon expected building <br />occupancy by office/warehouse uses. Since much of the building would be occupied by persons arriving in the <br />Day Care vans or dropped off/picked up by caregivers it is staff’s recommendation that 10 on-site parking <br />spaces as shown on the site plan would be sufficient for the proposed use at the current level of staffing with <br />two employees. However, at a maximum occupancy of 100 adults and with the same staff ratio that would <br />equate to 12.5 parking spaces for staff only (100 adults/8 = 12.5 staff needed). Therefore, staff recommends <br />that the applicant and/or property owner submit a revised parking plan that shows “proof of parking” for five <br />(5) additional spaces that would provide this rental/leasing space the potential of having 15 available if <br />needed. This way if they reach their maximum occupancy then they have ample parking for 12.5 employees, <br />plus their minimal pick-ups and drop-offs of adults that they allow for. <br /> <br />Recommendation <br />Based on the previously similar 2013 Conditional Use Permit being issued and on the review of the current <br />application being consistent with the Land Use and Zoning regulations, city staff recommends approval of the <br />PUD Amendment based up on the following findings: <br /> <br />1. The proposed use meets the City’s commercial district zoning requirements for group day care and the <br />property is developed in a way that facilitates the use without significant modification. <br /> <br />2. The applicants will be required to obtain all required State license(s) for such facilities demonstrating <br />compliance with applicable state and local codes. <br /> <br />3. The applicant and/or property owner submits a revised parking plan that shows an allocation of five <br />(5) additional “proof of parking” spaces which could be used by this tenant should they reach their <br />maximum number of clients served. <br /> <br />4. The proposed facility will not create parking and use demands on the building or site that are equal to, <br />or greater than, the designed capacity of the property. <br /> <br />5. The applicant will follow the State licensing requirements through the Minnesota Department of <br />Human Services on the ratio required for the number of employees to adults served, but in no event <br />shall that ratio exceed one employee to eight adults (1:8).
