CONCLUSIONS

the keeping of a maximum of five (5) children by right in a residential district. The applicant has
indicated that she is currently caring for four (4) children. Approval of this request would increase

the number of children permitted to a maximum of twelve (12) at any one time, excluding the
applicant's children and any children who reside in the home.
The proposed family day care home, if properly 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.
