DISCUSSION Staff presented the proposed conditional use to the Planning Commission with conditions of approval that intended to meet the previous direction of the City Council and to ensure and maximize the success of the facility. The Planning Commission expressed various concerns related to the timing of the project, the classification of the project and how the project, as conditioned, mitigated those concerns. They discussed the following issues: • Outdoor Plav Area: The Commission discussed the appropriateness of approving a childcare facility within an industrial zoned district that could not provide an outdoor play area meeting the 75 square feet per child requirement. One member of the Planning Commission was particularly concerned about the practice of opening the rear overhead roll up door periodically throughout the day to provide sunlight and fresh air. The opening would be secured with a sturdy fencing material to prevent children from exiting through the roll up door when open. The Planning Commission agreed with the State's and staff's conclusion about the adequacy of the indoor recreation space for this particular facility. No additional condition was required by the Planning Commission. • Building Occupancv: The Commission considered the information provided by the City Building Official that the classification of daycare/childcare use constitutes a change in occupancy from B to an E occupancy based on the adopted 2007 California Building Code (2007 CBC). The change in occupancy would be required to satisfy the code requirements. There are various ways in which to meet these requirements which would be determined when plans are submitted to the City for a building permit. Page 4 of 10
