PUBLIC FACILITIES
Fire Service:
The Clover Hill Fire Station, Company Number 7 and Manchester Rescue Squad currently
provide fire protection and emergency medical service. This request will have a minimal
impact on Fire and EMS.
County Department of Transportation:
The proposed use (family daycare) on the property will have a minimal impact on the
existing transportation network.
Virginia Department of Transportation:
The Virginia Department of Transportation has reviewed the above referenced case. The
request is to allow conditional commercial use and permit a home daycare on 0.2 acres
property zoned Residential (R-9), located at 7812 Winding Ash Court, Route 5649 in
Ashbrook subdivision. The information included with this request indicates that a
maximum capacity of twelve (12) students is the proposed for family day care home in
addition to residential use.
It is VDOT's understanding that all parking for a family day care will be provided by the
existing roadway facility, where parking is included on the curb and gutter public street,
and therefore, no commercial entrance will be required.
T,ANn TISF,
Comprehensive Plan:
Lies within the boundaries of the Upper Swift Creek Plan which suggests the property is
appropriate for residential use of 2.0 units per acre or less.
Area Development Trends:
The area is characterized by residential zoning, with single family residential use within the
Ashbrook Subdivision. It is anticipated that residential use will continue in the area as
recommended by the Plan.
Use:
As noted herein, a Conditional Use to permit a family day care home is requested. The
Zoning Ordinance permits the keeping of a maximum of five (5) children at any one time,
exclusive of the occupant's children and any children who reside in the home, by right in a
residential district. Approval of this request would permit the keeping of a maximum of
3 09SN0212-AUG26-BOS-RPT
twelve (12) children at any one time, excluding the applicant's children and any children
who reside in the home. Condition 1 would limit this use to the applicant only.
Site Design:
The applicant proposes to use the dwelling and yard for the day care. To insure that the
residential character of the area is maintained, a condition is recommended to preclude any
additions to the existing dwelling to accommodate the use. (Condition 2)
Condition 3 would permit one (1) sign a maximum of one (1) square foot in area to identify
this use which is consistent with signage permitted to identify home occupations in
residential districts.
CONCLUSION
The proposed family day care home, as conditioned, should have no adverse impact on the
surrounding neighborhood. Similar family day care homes have been approved in other
neighborhoods and have operated without any apparent adverse impact on area residences. The
conditions are similar to conditions imposed on other family day care homes and are designed to
maintain the residential character of the area.
Given these considerations, approval of this request is recommended.
