RUPLE for a Conditional Use Permit to allow for a large home daycare located at 1680 NORTH 30TH STREET in the R-3 Single Family Residence District. Ms. Suzy Stickle was sworn in by Mrs. Janet Poland. Ms. Stickle presented the recommendation of staff. The subject site is developedas a single familyresidence and located at 1680 North 30`" Street. The subject petition requests a conditional use permit to allow the operation of a large home daycare. The daycare would accommodate a maximum of eight (8) children. A large home daycare located in the R-3 District requires a Conditional Use Permit. The petitioner has enough parking in the driveway to accommodate two vehicles to drop off and pick up children, there is also on street parking that would allow for drop off and pick up of children from the proposed home daycare. There is adequate room for the children to play in the rear yard. There was a swimming pool located in the rear yard at the time the petition was filed. Staff was recommending the pool to either be brought up to code or be removed from the property prior to a Conditional Use Permit being granted. The pool removal was confirmed by the City of Decatur Building Inspections Division on Monday, June 1, 2015. Section XXII.A.3. lists three standards which must be met in order to grant a conditional use permit. The first standard requires the applicant to show that the use is "necessary for the public convenience at the location." The proposed use is generally compatible with the neighborhood and provides a service which can be utilized by area residents. The proposed use also meets the second standard. The home daycare is located and designed to be operated in a manner that the public health, safety and welfare will be protected. This use also meets the third standard. The daycare will not cause substantial injury to the value of other properties in the neighborhood. The daycare use will be required to meet all applicable City building and fire codes, as well as all requirements imposed by the State in the issuance of a home day care license. Based on the analysis, staff recommends approval of the conditional use permit as submitted with the following conditions: a. That the proposed operation be limited to a maximum of eight(8) children. b. That the proposed operation be in compliance with applicable provisions of the City's adopted Building Codes, including obtaining a building permit to perform any proposed or required improvements to the existing dwelling. c. That the proposed daycare be appropriately licensed by the State of Illinois at all times. The petitioner shall supply the City with a copy of the daycare license.
