Although the code section for Group Day Care references children, such day care facilities are licensed under the same set of regulations by the State. Pick -up / Drop -off Activities. The facility provides van pick -up and drop -off for the approximately 50 adults expected to participate in the program. The various requirements of the Code relating to Adult Day Care are met by the applicant's submission materials. The applicants will work with County social services to screen and accept clients. The applicants also indicate that they will apply for a State license through the Minnesota Department of Human Services. That license is dependent upon the state's inspection of the proposed premises. The applicants indicate that the center will be staffed from 9:00 a.m. through 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, with clients on -site between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. Off- Street Parking. The off - street parking supply for the subject building was originally calculated based upon expected building occupancy by office warehouse uses. Since much of the building would be occupied by persons arriving in vans, along with staff of approximately 10 on -site (given the staff - client ratio of 1:5), adequate parking appears to exist on the property to serve the current uses. Recommendation The proposed adult day care would share a building in which less than 25 percent of the floor area will most likely be devoted to the day care use. Based on the preceding review, our office recommends approval of the Conditional Use Permit based upon the following findings: 1. The proposed use meets the City's commercial district zoning requirements for group day care and the property is developed in a way that facilitates the use without significant modification. The applicants will be required to obtain a State license for such facilities demonstrating compliance with state and local codes. 3. The proposed facility will create parking and use demands on the building and site that are equal to, or less than, the designed capacity of the property. pc: Kathy Glanzer Steve Westerhaus Lee Elfering Macy Yang, PO Box 120242, New Brighton, MN 55112
