Body

Description/Background:

The applicant, Cecilia Hasleton, is requesting a Conditional Use Permit to expand the operation of an existing Child Care business license from a maximum of eight children per day to a maximum of 18 children on the property located at 10891 South Chapada Way. (See Exhibit #1 - Application Materials). Any child daycare desiring to operate with more than eight children per day is required to obtain a Conditional Use Permit for a Category II home occupation from the Planning Commission.

 

The property is on a 12,632 square foot lot with a 3,384 square foot single-family home. The applicant is proposing to operate Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 5:00 PM. The applicant operates both a half day and full day daycare to stagger the number of children in her care.

 

The applicant is currently the only full-time employee as she has less than eight kids enrolled in her preschool at this point. The State of Utah determines the required ratios for employees to children based on the age of the child. The applicant is required to obtain a business license through the state as part of the business licensing process and is aware that she may need to add additional employees. Her neighbor has agreed to work at the preschool should the number of children require an additional employee. 

 

The applicant is proposing to expand the operation of an existing childcare business which provides children a well-rounded experience throughout their day, and which caters to families in the local area. The applicant is proposing curbside pick-up and drop off on the west side of the property. Drop off and pick-up will occur along between 7:45-8:00 AM with pick up for half day kids between 12:00-12:15 PM and full day between 4:30 and 4:45 PM.  (See Exhibit #2 - Traffic Pattern).

 

The property is located north of 11000 S. on the east side of Chapada Way. The property is part of the Silver Sage Subdivision in the R -1-9 zone. Surrounding properties are single family homes zoned R-1-9.
