body
A. Background/Options
On January 17, 2023, the Common Council approved a conditional use permit for a childcare facility at 530 N. 108th Place in the General Commercial (C2) zoning district. The childcare facility has not yet commenced operations. The applicant is now proposing the following increases to the use:

The operating hours will remain the same as previously approved: from 6:00 am to 6:00 pm Monday through Friday. Drop off and pick up of children is still planned to occur within the parking area at the south end of the building adjacent to the facility’s entrance. The outdoor play area, enclosed with a four-foot tall chain link fence, will remain as previously approved at the southeast corner of the site (see attached site plan). However, the applicant proposes to install an additional wood fence along the western edge of the playground area for additional security from railroad tracks. According to parking counts taken at the project site, a sufficient amount of parking remains available for all users of the site, including the proposed use.
Attached to this report is the applicant's project request and proposed plans. The previous approval is linked.
