Russ Tereau, 4141 Payne, spoke in opposition to this application. He said property would become downgraded if the use were allowed. John Jefferson, 4016 Crest Court, stated he lives behind the latter of the two applicants, however, in both cases he is opposed to more children in the area. He stated the lots are too small to handle 12 people in one place. Terry Berdeau, 4219 Payne stated up to 6 would be okay but not 12 and that this case is no different than the Valley Empire Roofing home occupation denied earlier in the evening. The public hearing was closed. Commissioner Jamieson stated that the City has no control of six or less children being cared for in homes. A motion was made by Commissioner Jamieson to deny this application. The motion died for lack of a second. Commissioner .Getty stated day care centers are becoming more and more common and are needed to service the neighborhood in which they are located and that it is completely different from a roofing company. Commissioner Getty moved for approval of case UP-80-36 subject to the 7 conditions of the staff report because findings A, B, and C, as enumerated in the staff report can be made. Commissioner Lindsey stated the Commission has had the opportunity to review many applications like this in the last several months. He said that perhaps UP-80-36 and UP-80-37 are unique in that they are a little too close to each other. Commissioner Getty's motion died for lack of a second. A motion was made by Commissioner Jamieson, seconded by Commissioner Lindsey that the required findings could be made and that case UP-80-36 be approved subject to the conditions of the staff report, changing condition number 1 to reflect approval for 7 children and not 12 as requested and that this approval is granted for a period of six months at which time it will be reviewed by staff and a report of that review furnished to the Planning Commission for their information. Commissioner Doherty stated that the County representatives tell us there is a great need for these types of facilities. He stated he would be inclined to deny the application without prejudice and ask staff to get together with the City Attorney, City Council to review day care centers in the R-1 districts and other areas. Mr. Doherty stated long range planning should be considered including the assistance and input of the Human Services Commission and others. Chairperson Wilson stated he was not in support of a motion to deny because they already have 6 children. -6-
