residential in nature.

and shall not be transferable nor run with the land.

use
GENERAL PLAN: Single family residential use.

both public water and sewer.

therefore, this portion of the report has been eliminated.
TRANSPORTATION AND TRAFFIC:
area traffic patterns.
This use should not have a significant impact on
PUBLIC FACILITIES: This property is served by Dale Fire Station, Company Number
11. This station is staffed by both paid and volunteer personnel. Fire service
capability is good at the present time. Before this residence can be used as
a day care center, it must meet the requirements of the Virginia State Welfare
Department, the Chesterfield Health Department, the Virginia Uniform Statewide
Building Code, the Chesterfield Fire Prevention Bureau and the Virginia State
Fire ~rshal's Office. It should be noted that requirements will differ
dependent on the age group of children to be housed.
DISCUSSION: The applicant has a large (14' x 25') unfinished room in her
home which she intends to convert to a small day care center. The applicant's
residence is located in Brentwood subdivision and is adjoined on all sides by
other single family residences. The applicant has stated that a maximum of ten
(10) children will be cared for at any one time and that a majority of the
children reside in Brentwood subdivision.
It has been Staff's experience that day care centers located within single family
dwellings can be a compatible land use provided conditions controlling and
regulating the use are imposed. These conditions minimize the commercial impact
on adjacent residences and insure that the property is maintained residentially
in appearance.
