barrier with nothing flexible in its movement and with a height of about five feet, which makes it highly unlikely that a child would be able to go through it or climb over it. Commissioner Fox referred to the issue regarding the businesses within Valley Business Park and the operating car business. She noted thatthedoor needed to be kept open but would have to be closed because of odor and safety issues and inquired if staff would still support the application, or would staff require the outdoor play area which would result in the loss of four parking spaces at the rear of the building. Ms. Amos replied that this matter was also considered. She stated that when Code Enforcement went out to investigate the odors, the business itself was surprised the smell was still there because it has a system to ventilate the odor out. She noted that staff would still support the project. She added that lacquering is done approximately three times per month and that if the door must be closed, they could adjust their times for opening the door. In response to Chair Blank's inquiry regarding if the facility had a system that is functioning properly, Ms. Amos replied that it does. Commissioner Fox inquired if there would need to be an air filtration system within the daycare facility. Ms. Amos said no; it would be the facility producing the odor that would be required to have it. Commissioner Fox asked if there were other childcare centers in the City in a warehouse space with a loading dock. Ms. Amos said the only other one is located on Johnson Drive, which is in an industrial area. She added that it is a church without any outdoor play area butwith a roll-up door. Commissioner O'Connor referred to Condition No.3: "All activities shall take place inside the subject facility." He stated that the applicant talked about transporting children to parks and other recreation areas and inquired if this would need to be modified. Mr. Dolan replied that this condition only refers to the actual on-site activities and would not apply to off site activities. He added that the purpose was to prohibit the children from playing out in the parking lot. Commissioner Connor referred to Condition No. 13: "There shall be no outdoor storage." He inquired if this applied to garbage, and Ms. Amos said yes. She added that this addresses keeping boxes or storage items outside the facility. In response to Chair Blank's inquiry regarding the sign issue, Ms. Amos replied that Condition No. 15 is standard language and would not preclude an applicant from moving forward with a sign design that can be submitted over the counter and checked that it meets the sign program requirements. She added that depending on the type of sign, it may require a permit from the Building and Safety Division to ensure that it is mounted properly.
