PROJECT: SP202200017 Maple Grove Day Care Center MAGISTERIAL DISTRICT: Rivanna TAX MAP/PARCEL: 03200-00-00-029D0 LOCATION: 3210 Proffit Rd PROPOSAL: Special use permit request for a child day center. PETITION: A request for a special use permit under Section 18-13.2.2 to use existing space within the Maple Grove Christian Church located at 3210 Proffit Rd which measures 6.86 acres for a child day center for up to 50 children ages 0-5. The proposed child day center plans to use the existing building and parking area while operating from 7:00am to 6:00pm Monday through Friday year-round except for national holidays. ZONING: R-1 Residential - 1 unit/acre ENTRANCE CORRIDOR: No OVERLAY DISTRICT: AIA Airport Impact Area, Steep Slopes - Managed COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: Urban Density Residential - residential (6.01 - 34 units/ acre); supporting uses such as religious institutions, schools, commercial, office and service uses in the Community of Hollymead in the Places29 Master Plan.
On Condition 4, I would suggest changing the language to "The preschool may not open before 7:00 a.m. and the preschool may not stay open after 6:00 p.m." I make this suggestion because the current wording could be interpreted to read that any 11 hour period of operation is acceptable so long as it "does not exceed 11 hours". This language change would clarify, with no room for interpretation, that the hours are 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
I would also note that there is no condition about events or gatherings at the property on weekends. The conditions only limit hours of operation for the preschool. They do not address events or gatherings at the property at nights or on weekends that are not part of the preschool's operation.
