Title
Use Permit Application No 16-00005 by Andrea Alston-Darden to operate a Commercial Day Care 2 at 1705 Todds Lane [LRSN 4002255]
Purpose
Background Statement:
This is a request for a use permit to operate a day care. Clients will range in age from zero to twelve years. While the applicant originally requested a capacity of 150 children, after reviewing the building code and existing conditions and working with the applicant, staff is recommending a condition to limit the applicant to a maximum occupancy of 124 children. Proposed hours of operation are 6:00AM - 6:00PM Monday through Friday.
The applicant is proposing to operate within an existing building. The property is zoned R-11 Single Family Residential which allows for a Commercial Day Care 2 with a use permit. Staff has determined that the site provides sufficient parking for the day care operation and appropriate vehicle circulation for drop-off and pick-up.
The Hampton Community Plan (2006, as amended) recommends commercial use for this site. The Plan sets out a vision that “Hampton’s children and youth will thrive and succeed in a caring community,” and establishes policies that support this vision. The proposed day care is in alignment with these policies and vision of the Hampton Community Plan.
If this application is approved, staff recommends attaching conditions that, among others, address hours of operation, capacity, and traffic.
