ROLL CALL VOTE: AYES: Commissioners Blank, Fox, O’Connor, Olson, and Pearce. NOES: None. ABSTAIN: None. RECUSED: None. ABSENT: None. Resolution No. PC-2007-03 approving PUD-186 was entered and adopted as motioned. 5.a. PCUP-186, Eunhee Yoo Im, Education Enrichment Center Application for a conditional use permit to operate a learning center for pre-kindergarten Montessori classes and tutoring for kindergarteners and elementary school students Monday through Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. in an existing building located at 1024 Serpentine Lane, Suite 7-B. Zoning for the property is PUD-I (Planned Unit Development – Industrial) District. Ms. Decker summarized the staff report and described the background, layout, and scope of this project. Commissioner Blank inquired whether there was a provision for a parent who is running late, such as an extra charge for late hours, and how that would be monitored with respect to the State’s child care requirements. Ms. Decker replied that it would be the same as any other tutoring facilities and use permits approved by the Planning Commission as Consent Calendar items. If there were non-compliance with the approved conditional use permit, then it would be a Code enforcement issue. The City would not actively monitor these occurrences because of limited staff and police resources. Chairperson Fox noted that the hours of the operation for the Montessori portion appeared to total five hours a day for a total of 25 hours per week. She noted that appeared to exceed the letter from the Community Care licensing division regarding a drop-in center, which would not be subject to licensing requirements under 15 hours per week. With respect to Title XXII exemptions, she inquired whether a printout was available detailing those exemptions and whether they memorialized the 1.5 hours per day limit. Ms. Decker noted that the project planner, Natalie Amos, had provided a memo that addressed that specific question. The State clarified that these sections referred to any child who was there for more than 1.5 hours or over 15 hours per week. She noted that the attendance for each child must be audited and that the total operating hours were not addressed by those requirements. She noted that it was not the responsibility lay of the City to determine whether a license was required. The use permit could be revoked if the facility were not found to be in compliance, and other enforcement actions could follow as is typical for this kind of use.
