DISCUSSION
On June 25, 1980, the Board of Supervisors granted rezoning and a Condi-
tional Use Planned Development to permit townhouses and a day care center
on property zoned R-TH on the attached zoning map. The applicant intends
to expand the existing day care center to accommodate a total enrollment
of 140 children. There would be 14 employees. The Zoning Ordinance
requires a provision of a minimum of 37 parking spaces (i.e., one for
each 6 children plus one for each employee). The applicant desires to
provide only 22 parking spaces with an area for drop-off and pick-up.
The Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors have granted exceptions
to parking requirements for day care centers in accordance with the IC~L~
Committee, which is studying comprehensive amendment of the County's Zon-
ing Ordinance. Based on the Committee's recommendation, the proposed
expansion would require a total of 20 spaces with an area for drop-off
and pick-up. The applicant's Master Plan complies with the recommended
amendment. Approval of this request would be consistent with the Com-
mission's and Board's past actions on similar requests.
