REGULAR AGENDA
4. Conduct a Public Hearing, and consider and act upon a request for a Specific Use Permit (SUP)
for a Child Day Care Center on 1.4f acres, located on the north side of Richland Boulevard, 400f
feet west of Coit Road. The property is zoned Office (0). (S14-0002).
Summary
Glushko_ Summarized the zoning surrounding the property and the request for a Specific Use Permit
(herein called a. SUP), including the possible site layout, the masonry wall, wrought iron fence,
landscaping, and architectural renderings. Cited criteria from the Zoning Ordinance the Commission may
consider when reviewing an SUP. Noted the masonry wall, landscaping, and increased landscape setback
along the western property line mitigate the impact on the surrounding area; therefore, the use is
harmonious with the surrounding area. Also noted, the use is in conformance with the Future Land Use
Plan. Informed notification was provided in accordance with state law, and the Planning Division
received one public hearing notice reply form in opposition to the request. Recommended approval.
Discussion with Staff
McClung: Asked for clarification that 1) the Commission is approving a use, not Exhibit B, which is
labeled as a site plan, and 2) the applicant must submit a site plan.
Moody: Inquired if the SUP is tied to the property or if there is a timeline associated with it.

Glushko: Responding to McClung, informed a preliminary site plan of the subject property and the two
adjacent lots must be approved, then a site plan of just the subject property must be approved. Answering
Moody, noted the SUP is tied to the property, not a timeline.
Motioned by Moody, seconded by Keith to open the public hearing. Motion passed 4-0 at 6:09 p.m.
Public Hearine Discussion
Keith: Inquired why the masonry wall only covers an approximate 200 foot section of the western
property line and not the entire length of the property line.
McClung: Asked where the wrought iron fence is.
Glushko: Answering Keith, informed the fifteen foot sanitary sewer easement and additional fifteen foot
landscape setback and solid living screen inhibits usable playground area, while the masonry screening
increases play area and provides appropriate screening for the use.
Mori Akhavan (applicant's representative): Addressing Keith, explained the applicant wanted to provide
live screening.
Moody: Asked staff if the concern of the property owner in opposition to the request will be addressed
during the site plan process.
Glushko: Affirmed the concerns of the property owner in opposition will be addressed during the
preliminary site plan process.
Motioned by Keith, seconded by Moody to close the public hearing. Motion passed 4-0 at 6:13 p.m.
Discussion
Senkel: Voiced support as the use is appropriate for the location, which is an odd -shaped lot and not a
hard corner lot. Noted the concept plan appeared acceptable.
Commissioners agreed with Senkel.
Motioned by Moody, seconded by Keith to approve a request for a Specific Use Permit (SUP) for a Child
Day Care Center on 1.4f acres, located on the north side of Richland Boulevard, 400f feet west of Coit
