center would serve children ages five (5) to fifteen (15), with the majority being age seven (7) to ten (10). The hours would be after school, weekends and limited summer hours. It would be a “drop-in” type daycare, where parents can bring children on an as-needed basis. The center would be staffed with a director, aides and tutors. Activities for the children would include: tutoring, resting, eating, watching videos and listening to audio. The center would include a cafeteria and nine (9) childcare rooms, totaling 5,260 square feet. The location within the building would be on the main floor, one floor above the assembly use area. Drop-off and pick-up zones would be the same as the existing daycare. Daycare staff will park in the lower lot and seven (7) parking spots would be designated for daycare parents. This application is for an amendment to a previous conditional use permit, which was adopted May 26, 2009. The previous CUP was granted to allow the daycare that previously operated in the building. An amendment is required because the current daycare is 2,370 square feet, and the proposed expansion of the daycare would increase it to 5,260 square feet. 2.
