Recommendation and Review
The property is located at 521 Blue Ridge Drive. Planning Commission recommended approval (6-0), with conditions, of the special use permit to allow a major family day home. The property is zoned R-1, Single Family Residential District and is identified as tax map parcel 29-D-29. The conditions are as follows:
1. Vehicles shall not be permitted to exit the property onto Country Club Road. All vehicles shall exit onto Blue Ridge Drive.
2. All vehicles shall only turn right when exiting onto Blue Ridge Drive.
3. The existing island area created by the connecting portions of the driveway, near the southwestern property corner, shall remain open space for improved sight distance. All planting within this area shall be low-lying and/or ground covering vegetation.
4. The connecting portions of the driveway shall remain open at all times to allow parents/guardians to maneuver on and off of the property without utilizing the public right-of-way. Therefore, parking is prohibited on these portions of the driveway.
5. If City Council finds traffic conditions warrant re-evaluation of the “major family day home,” they may require the applicant to return to Planning Commission to re-examine the use of the property. It shall be at the discretion of Planning Commission and/or City Council to determine if the re-evaluation shall necessitate a public hearing. Such re-evaluation may result in additional conditions being placed on the use or revocation of the special use permit.
