are required to sign includes adherence to regulations regarding traffic and noise impacts. Commissioner Narum asked Ms. McIntosh how they arrived at the number of up to 76 children in the morning when the capacity on the day care license is 68. Ms. McIntosh replied that this is based upon how many children they can have in the room versus how many children they can have per teacher. She indicated that she knows what State Licensing will allow, based upon square footage in use. Commissioner Narum asked Ms. McIntosh if she was confident she had the facility to accommodate 76 children per State Licensing regulations. Ms. McIntosh said yes. Commissioner Narum noted that the narrative outlines the number of children per play session, whereas the existing Conditions of Approval has left the number at 30. She asked Ms. McIntosh if she was amenable to incorporating the numbers in the narrative as part of the proposed use permit. Ms. McIntosh replied that she is happy with the number of 30 but would be willing to discuss this issue further. She noted that she is licensed by the State for 48 children on the playground and that they had agreed to a compromise with the City for 30 children. She added that she has gone even further by having only 24 children on the playground. She indicated that for the purpose of flexibility, 30 was a good number to work with. Commissioner Pentin noted that the pre-school has grown over time and inquired what their projection might be for five to ten years from now in terms of capacity and the possibility for changing the license. Ms. McIntosh replied that it took many years to get to where they are at and indicated that she believes they have reached their full capacity at 76 children. She added that the facility is suitable for this capacity in terms of both classrooms and Church work, which must blend on weeknights and through scheduling. Chair Pearce inquired about the adult program on Tuesdays. Ms. McIntosh replied that a Women’s Bible Study class consisting of about 30-50 women meets on Tuesdays. She added that on Tuesdays, Shining Light Pre-school only has 18 children, and they anticipate keeping this number because she cannot use any other rooms due to a shared use. She noted that this is currently the only adult class that conflicts with the pre-school and that an English as a Second Language (ESL) class is held in the front portion of the building.
