recommended conditions, the residential character of the area will be maintained.

PUBLIC FACILITIES
Fire Service and Transportation:
This request will have minimal impact on the existing facilities.
LAND USE
Comprehensive Plan:
The request lies within the boundaries of the Northern Area Land Use and Transportation
Plan which suggests the property is appropriate for medium density residential use of 1.51 to
4.0 units per acre.
The Northern Area Plan Amendment is currently under study.
Area Development Trends:
The property is located within the Foxberry Subdivision. Adjacent properties are zoned
Residential (R-12) and Agricultural (A) and are occupied by single family dwellings or are
vacant. It is anticipated that residential use will continue in the area, as recommended by the
Plan.
Site Design:
The applicant proposes to utilize the dwelling in which she resides and the backyard area for
a family day care home. To insure that the residential character of the area is maintained,
conditions preclude any additions or alteration to the existing dwelling to accommodate the
use and any sign to identify the use. (Conditions 2 and 3)
Use:
As noted herein, the applicant is proposing to operate a family day care home. The Zoning
Ordinance permits the keeping of a maximum of five (5) children, excluding the provider's
children and any children who reside in the home, as a restricted use in a residential district.
The Ordinance would allow the keeping of up to twelve (12) children, exclusive of the
provider's children and any children who reside in the home, with a Conditional Use.
CONCLUSIONS
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 impact on area residences. The conditions
are similar to conditions imposed upon other family day care homes and are designed to maintain
the residential character of the area (Conditions 1 through 3). Therefore, approval of this request,
subject to the conditions, is recommended.
