He indicated that there may generally be a greater trip generation during the peak hour <br />for a child care use than office use. He added that it might also impact occupancy; <br />however, he was not certain whether the proposal to do that necessarily ventured into <br />that area. <br />Referring to Option 1 where a child care license is required, Commissioner Narum <br />inquired if this would then require the building to be an E Occupancy. <br />Mr. Dolan replied that this is a downside if the objective is not to spend money but an <br />upside if one is trying to have the fire protection match the use. He stated that with the <br />City’s policy, there are many uses that are excluded for the policy staff is <br />recommending, and the one most controversial and the best example is the heritage <br />school type. He noted that the reality is that the Commission could not have approved <br />the Little Ivy League School the way it did if the Council adopts the policy staff is <br />proposing. <br />Commissioner Narum stated that what still is unclear to her is the sports groups, such <br />as soccer, little league, water polo, swimming, where if the policy allows ten hours or <br />less per week without transportation, then applicants would not fall under this. She <br />noted that children are typically at practices over ten hours a week. <br />Commissioner Blank agreed and stated that this is especially true with the more <br />competitive leagues. <br />Commissioner Narum expressed concern that all non-profit volunteer organizations now <br />must fall into this under either scenario. <br />Commissioner Blank stated that he has been involved with soccer teams in which <br />background and screening are administered, but he agreed that he would not expect <br />them to fall under this policy. <br />Commissioner Narum requested clarification because she felt that it might be included <br />the way it is written. <br />Mr. Dolan replied that if it is an issue of hours, then it should be changed because it is <br />not intended to include those groups. <br />Commissioner Narum stated that this would be taken care of if all City co-sponsored <br />organizations were exempt. <br />Chair Pearce stated that there are also many non-City-sponsored organizations that <br />have this issue. <br />Commissioner Narum stated that some of those would be for-profit in all likelihood. <br />PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, September 23, 2009 Page 21 of 34 <br /> <br />
