Parkin!! The PMC parking requirements state that, "Parking spaces, including both off-street and on- street, shall be available for the actual parking demand created by the use, including the applicant's own vehicles, those of employees, and those of persons delivering and picking up children. On-street parking is available for the use if such spaces are within a reasonable distance of the home and can be reached saftly from the home by children. " · The applicant is stating that she has 25 spaces available to them within a reasonable distance of the home for her use. In addition to the two (2) driveway spaces, she calculates that there are three (3) curbside spaces in front of the home, 15 spaces along Genovesio Drive/Appian Street, and five (5) visitor parking spaces at the community clubhouse. . Staff has determined that a total of five (5) parking spaces are readily available for residential/employee use and for pick-up and drop-off of the children. As discussed in the Planning Commission staff report, these spaces include two (2) garage spaces and one (I) on- street parking space in front ofthe property that are for residential/employee use and two (2) spaces in the driveway for parents to drop-off and pick-up their children. - The two (2) garage spaces and the one (I) curbside space provide sufficient parking for the personal vehicle(s) and an additional employee vehicle. - The use of the two (2) driveway spaces provide safe child drop-off and pick-up. Staff is requiring that an assigned drop-off and pick-up schedule (staggered in 10-15 minute intervals) be developed by the applicant to ensure the availability of the spaces. Such drop-off and pick-up schedules have been used on previous daycare applications and have worked to mitigate the parking shortages and impacts on neighboring lots. Staff feels that the institution of the drop-off and pick-up schedule is appropriate for this site. - All parents of children attending the facility will need to sign an agreement with the facility operator noting the acceptance of the proposed parking schedule, the parking location limitations, and the adherence to the speed limit of the development. The opponents to the proposal feel that the number of parking spaces listed by the applicant is not an accurate representation of the parking situation as many of the noted parking spaces are located in front of neighboring homes or are associated with the clubhouse/guest parking. Staff agrees and feels that five parking spaces is more realistic. Staff feels that the condition of approval requiring the use of the driveway for drop-off and pick- up addresses the concerns of patron parking and that the garage spaces and the curbside space are adequate to serve the facility operators and employees.
