Description/Background:
The applicant, Savana Bauer for Storybrook, is requesting that the Planning Commission consider a request for a Conditional Use Permit to allow for a daycare business to operate within 250 feet of a residential property located at 688 E. Union Square. (See Exhibit #1: Application Materials).
The applicant is proposing to operate an hourly daycare center for children and infants at Storybook’s current location. The applicant is proposing to utilize the 2,500 square foot basement as a daycare and continue using the main floor as an indoor play place and café. At full capacity the applicant is proposing to care for 20 kids on site with an employee to child ratio being dependent on the age of the child and state requirements. The applicant is aware of Utah State requirements and has agreed to maintain those ratios. The business will operate from 8 AM-7 PM Monday through Thursday, 8 AM-10 PM Fridays and 9 AM-10 PM on Saturdays.
The subject property is located in the Planned Center- Community District (CC) zone and is .05 acres (2,178 square feet) with a 4,500 square foot commercial building space containing three levels. The tenants occupy the middle and bottom floors and do not currently utilize the top space. The property is located within a shopping center and customer traffic will utilize the front entrance on the north side of the building.
Parking for the proposed business will utilize the existing parking lot for the Union Square shopping center. There are two access points to the shopping center, from the north via 9400 South, and from the east via 700 East.
