item was continued to the following meeting to allow staff to provide the Commission with additional information on streets and traffic enforcement on private streets. Staff has provided the previous staff reports (with attachments), the minutes of both Planning Commission hearings, and the recent petition that was received as attachments to this report. SITE DESCRIPTION The project site is located in a detached, small-lot, single-family development off Gibraltar Drive. The development contains private streets and commonly owned and maintained facilities (open space, play equipment, and pool). The subject site is near the entrance of the development from San Marco Way, at the transition of Appian Street into Genovesio Drive. The applicant has an approximately 3,550-square-foot lot, with an approximately 1,927-square-foot detached two- story, single-family home. The applicant's lot contains four (4) on-site parking spaces and one (I) curbside space directly in front of the residence. PROJECT DESCRIPTION Mrs. Thuse is requesting consideration for a conditional use permit to expand her existing small family daycare to a large family daycare. The original expansion request was for up to 14 children, but has since been revised to be for up to II children. The existing facility occupies approximately 787 square feet of the first floor and would operate from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. The applicant provided a schedule of daily activities, consisting largely of free time activities, outdoor play, and meal times with the original submittal, which is further discussed in the Planning Commission staff report dated June 22, 2005. PLANNING COMMISSION HEARING The Planning Commission reviewed this project at a hearing on August 10, 2005 with an information report from the Assistant City Attorney regarding the additional street information and the parameters for enforcement of traffic laws on private streets. Please see the attached Planning Commission minutes for a full description of the Commission's deliberations. The Planning Commission reviewed the information that was provided by staff, the petition that was submitted by the neighboring homeowners, and listened to public comments. The Planning Commission was unable to make the findings to approve the use permit within this development given the density of the area, the PUD-HDR zoning, traffic, the narrowness of the long looped private street, enforceability of traffic laws, and safety concerns due to a blind corner. Therefore, it denied the conditional use permit request by a 4-1 vote. SR:06:033 Page 3
