Home My WebLink About8.1 1st Reading of an AN ORDINANCE GRANTING A CONDITIONAL USE FOR A DAYCARE CENTER FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1630-1638 WEST ALGONQUIN ROAD, MOUNT PROSPECT, ILLINOIS (PZ-13-23)Subject Meeting Fiscal Impact (Y/N) Dollar Amount Budget Source Category Type Information Item Cover Page 1st Reading of an AN ORDINANCE GRANTING A CONDITIONAL USE FOR A DAYCARE CENTER FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1630-1638 WEST ALGONQUIN ROAD, MOUNT PROSPECT, ILLINOIS (PZ -13-23) October 17, 2023 - REGULAR MEETING OF THE MOUNT PROSPECT VILLAGE BOARD N NEW BUSINESS Action Item The Petitioner, Mustafa Tahran of the Turkish American Society Inc., is seeking a conditional use to operate a daycare center to occupy 6,000 square feet within the Plaza United Shopping Center. The Subject Property, which occupies 1630-1632-1634-1638 W. Algonquin Road, is zoned B-3 Community Shopping District. The proposal meets the standards for a conditional use and therefore, staff is supportive of the request. The Petitioner proposes to operate a daycare, Rose Garden Academy, within the five tenant spaces used previously for the Safari Daycare. The Petitioner is not proposing any interior tenant improvements to the existing space. The 1,456 square foot, north playground that is located at the rear of the Subject Property, and the 1,625 square foot, east playground that is located along the east lot line and across the east drive aisle, will both remain. The proposed daycare center would host up to ninety (90) children and up to fourteen (14) staff members per day, for a total of one hundred four (104) individuals. The Petitioner is not proposing alterations to the exterior building, parking lot, or playground areas. The Turkish American Society of Chicago (TAS) is a non-profit organization that offers cultural, educational, religious, and social programs and activities, and has been operating in Mount Prospect since 2011. As enrollment continues to grow and fill to capacity at their current location at 501 Midway Drive, TAS would like to open the off-site daycare center to accommodate their growing needs. The proposed daycare center would operate Monday through Friday, from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM. A previous conditional use for a daycare center was issued for A Mother's Touch at the proposed location in 1994 (Ord. 4630) which was subsequently amended twice; once in 1994 to expand the 2,400 square foot facility to 3,600 square feet (Ord. 4648), and again in 1996 to expand the 3,600 square foot facility to 6,000 square feet to accommodate up to 97 children (Ord. 4811). The property ownership was transferred to Safari Daycare, which occupied the space from 2011 and closed sometime in late 2021/early 2022. Due to the cease in operations for more than 12 months, the conditional use has expired and requires the Petitioner to apply for a new conditional use permit. Fire Safety - Prior to the granting of a final certificate of occupancy, the Fire Department requires that the Petitioner address the following items: fire sprinkler work; fire alarm work; clear space around any new or existing fire hydrant, fire department connection, fire protection control valve or any other fire protection system component; egress plan; and keyless locksets on egress doors. Parkin - The proposed daycare center is located within an existing shopping center with several vacancies and four sit-down restaurants. Shopping centers with a gross floor area of 30,000 square feet or less require four (4) parking spaces per 1,000 square feet of gross floor area; daycare centers require one (1) parking space per every ten (10) licensed capacity slots and one (1) parking space for each employee; and restaurants with no bar require twelve (12) parking spaces per 1,000 square feet of floor area. Based on these parking ratios, the overall parking requirement for the shopping center is one hundred forty-two (142) parking spaces. If applying the lower shopping center parking ratio to the restaurant uses, the overall parking requirement would be one hundred five (105) parking spaces. The shopping center currently provides one hundred five (105) parking spaces. The following table provides a parking analysis utilizing the restaurant parking ratio compared to the shopping center parking ratio.

It should be noted that there are no known parking issues at the site; the Petitioner provided a comprehensive assessment of the peak times observed by other establishments, including the existing restaurants within the shopping center. Based on the following table, the peak times for the restaurants do not overlap with the peak times for the daycare's drop-off and pick-up periods. Therefore, staff is comfortable using the lower parking ratio of 4 parking spaces per 1,000 SF for the restaurants within the shopping center.

Engineering did not object to the continued use of the playground areas, but recommended procedures be in place to safely walk students across the drive aisle to the eastern playground located across the drive aisle. In response to the Village Engineer's concerns, the Petitioner submitted a revised pick-up and drop-off procedure that is included as an attachment to the staff report. In the revised procedure, parents would park in any of the thirteen (13) parking spaces directly in front of the daycare center. Per the Petitioner, peak times for the drop-off and pick-up periods are from 8:00 AM to 8:20 AM and from 3:00 PM to 3:20 PM, respectively. To ensure the well- being of the youngest children, two dedicated staff members will be available to escort the children between the parking spots and the daycare entrance. Some parents may opt to accompany their children between their vehicles and the daycare entrance. Fourteen (14) parking spaces reserved for daycare staff would be located south of the designated parking spaces for parents. Per the Petitioner, the Rose Garden Academy will provide a safe and nurturing environment for children under the daycare's care and the facility will meet and exceed all local health and safety standards, including regular inspections, maintenance, and adherence to strict health protocols. The Petitioner states that the proposed daycare will employ certified teachers and staff trained in emergency response procedures to ensure the well-being of their children. The Petitioner adds that the daycare activities will not cause disturbances to nearby properties and will contribute positively to the community by offering essential services for working parents. The Petitioner maintains that the public utilities, access roads, drainage, and other facilities available to the site are adequate. The Petitioner states that the operational hours have been carefully planned to minimize traffic congestion in the public streets. The Petitioner further states that the proposed daycare aligns with the objectives of the Comprehensive Plan as the daycare aims to contribute positively to the community, promote early childhood education, and support working families and conforms to other applicable regulations of the district in which it is located. Discussion Public Hearing: At the Planning and Zoning Commission hearing on September 28, 2023, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the project by a vote of 5-0. No members of the public were in attendance in opposition to the project, and the Petitioner was present to voice support of the petition. The Commissioners inquired about the following: • The purpose of the drive aisle to the north of the shopping center; • If the drive aisle east of the proposed daycare is heavily used by the residents to the north of the Plaza United shopping center; • How soon the daycare would open; • What the limit is for the number of students for a 6,000 square foot facility; and • When state licensure would be issued. Staff responded that the purpose of the drive aisle to the north of the shopping center is a fire lane and an alley to service the rear of the tenants of the shopping center and that the east drive aisle does not appear to be heavily trafficked. The Petitioner stated that the daycare is expected to open in January when the second semester begins. Staff stated that the number of students would be driven by the state requirements but also the parking limitations on the site, as there are only 105 parking spaces. The facility would accommodate up to 90 children and 14 staff members based on the parking requirements. The Petitioner also stated that the daycare center is expected to have between 80 to 90 children. The Petitioner also stated that the state would first issue a permit after observing the daycare operations for six months, and then the full license would be issued to operate. The Petitioner stated he is expecting to get the full license from the state by the end of the year. Staff Recommendation: Staff is supportive of the Petitioner's request. Staff does not believe the proposed conditional use for a daycare center will have an adverse impact on the public or adjacent properties. The proposed daycare aligns with the objectives of the Comprehensive Plan as the daycare will provide childcare services available to the local community. Other departments reviewed the Petitioner's proposal and did not object to the conditional use request. The conditional use will not be a detriment or endanger the welfare of the general public. The proposed use complies with the Comprehensive Plan and furthers childcare services available to the local community. Staff finds that the proposal meets the conditional use as listed in the Zoning Code. As of the writing of this report, staff has not received public comments pertaining to this request. Waive Second Reading: The Petitioner is requesting that the Village Board waive the second reading and take final action at the October 17, 2023 meeting. Alternatives 1. Approve a conditional use permit allowing a daycare to operate at 1630-1638 W. Algonquin Road, as illustrated on the plans dated 07-18-2023 and 08-21-2023, subject to the conditions listed in the attached Ordinance. 2. Action at the discretion of the Village Board. Staff Recommendation Approval of: A conditional use permit allowing a daycare to operate at 1630-1638 W.

As enrollment continues to grow and fill to capacity at their current location at 501 Midway Drive, TAS would like to open an off-site daycare center to accommodate their growing needs. The proposed daycare center would occupy six thousand square feet (6,000 SF) and two existing outdoor play areas at the Subject Property. The facility would serve seventy-eight (78) preschoolers aged 3-4 years old and twelve (12) toddlers aged 1- 2 years old for a total of ninety (90) children, and would operate Monday through Friday, from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM. The proposed daycare center would consist of twelve (12) teaching staff and two (2) non -teaching staff. A previous conditional use for a daycare center was issued for A Mother's Touch at the proposed location in 1994 (Ord. 4630) which was subsequently amended twice; once in 1994 to expand the 2,400 square foot facility to 3,600 square feet (Ord. 4648), and again in 1996 to expand the 3,600 square foot facility to 6,000 square feet to accommodate up to 97 children (Ord. 4811). The property ownership was transferred to Safari Daycare which occupied the space from 2011 and closed sometime in late 2021/early 2022. Due to the cease in operations for more than 12 months, the conditional use has expired and requires the Petitioner to apply for a new conditional use permit. PROPOSAL The Petitioner proposes to operate a daycare, Rose Garden Academy, within the five tenant spaces used previously for the Safari Daycare. The Petitioner is not proposing any interior tenant improvements to the existing space. The 1,456 square foot, north playground that is located at the rear of the Subject Property, and the 1,625 square foot, east playground that is located along the east lot line and across the east drive aisle, will both remain. The proposed daycare center would host up to ninety (90) children and up to fourteen (14) staff members per day, for a total of one hundred four (104) individuals. The Petitioner is not proposing alterations to the exterior building, parking lot, or playground areas. Fire Safety — Prior to the granting of a final certificate of occupancy, the Fire Department requires that the Petitioner address the following items: fire sprinkler work; fire alarm work; clear space around any new or existing fire hydrant, fire department connection, fire protection control valve or any other fire protection system component; egress plan; and keyless locksets on egress doors. Parkin —The proposed daycare center is located within an existing shopping center with several vacancies and four sit-down restaurants. Shopping centers with a gross floor area of 30,000 square feet or less require four (4) parking spaces per 1,000 square feet of gross floor area; daycare centers require one (1) parking space per every ten (10) licensed capacity slots and one (1) parking space for each employee; and restaurants with no bar require twelve (12) parking spaces per 1,000 square feet of floor area. Based on these parking ratios, the overall parking requirement for the shopping center is one hundred forty-two (142) parking spaces. If applying the lower shopping center parking ratio to the restaurant uses, the overall parking requirement would be one hundred five (105) parking spaces. The shopping center currently provides one hundred five (105) parking spaces.

Engineering did not object to the continued use of the playground areas, but recommended procedures be in place to safely walk students across the drive aisle to the eastern playground located across the drive aisle. In response to the Village Engineer's concerns, the Petitioner submitted a revised pick-up and drop-off procedure that is included as an attachment to the staff report. In the revised procedure, parents would park in any of the thirteen (13) parking spaces directly in front of the daycare center as depicted in the blue box in the image below. Per the Petitioner, peak times for the drop-off and pick-up periods are from 8:00 AM to 8:20 AM and from 3:00 PM to 3:20 PM, respectively. To ensure the well-being of the youngest children, two dedicated staff members will be available to escort the children between the parking spots and the daycare entrance. Some parents may opt to accompany their children between their vehicles and the daycare entrance. Fourteen (14) parking spaces reserved for daycare staff would be located south of the designated parking spaces for parents as depicted in the red box in the image below. In addition to the drop-off and pick-up procedure, the Petitioner has also provided a procedure for walking children safely to the eastern playground. To access the eastern playground, children will be required to cross the drive aisle. The group utilizing the eastern playground will exit through the door on the east side of the building. Prior to the group's departure, a staff member will secure the aisle gate. All children will maintain a firm grip on a designated walking rope, with a staff member leading at the front, facing the children and walking backward, while another staff member holds the opposite end of the rope, also facing the students. The group will then follow the crosswalk for entry into the playground. After ensuring the safe entry of all children, a staff member will subsequently secure the playground gate and re -open the drive aisle gate. The same process will be carefully followed upon returning to the building. \\Vfs\vfcdh$\PLAN\Planning & Zoning COMM\P&Z 2023\Staff Reports\PZ-13-23 1630-1638 W Algonquin Rd (CU - Daycare).docx COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DESIGNATION The Future Growth and Opportunities Map and the Future Land Use Plan in the Village Comprehensive Plan designate the subject property as Neighborhood Center which includes uses such as a daycare center. The proposed daycare is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan as it provides childcare services available to the local community. CONDITIONAL USE STANDARDS The standards for conditional uses are listed in Section 14.203.F.8 of the Village Zoning Ordinance and include seven specific findings that must be made in order to approve a conditional use. The following list is a summary of these findings: • The conditional use will not have a detrimental impact on the public health, safety, morals, comfort or general welfare; • The conditional use will not be injurious to the use, enjoyment, or value of other properties in the vicinity or impede the orderly development of those properties; • There is adequate provision for utilities, drainage, and design of access and egress to minimize congestion on Village streets; and • The request is in compliance of the conditional use with the provisions of the Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Code, and other Village Ordinances. Per the Petitioner, the Rose Garden Academy will provide a safe and nurturing environment for children under the daycare's care and the facility will meet and exceed all local health and safety standards, including regular inspections, maintenance, and adherence to strict health protocols. The Petitioner states that the proposed daycare will employ certified teachers and staff trained in emergency response procedures to ensure the well-being of their children. The Petitioner adds that the daycare activities will not cause disturbances to nearby properties and will contribute positively to the community by offering essential services for working parents. The Petitioner maintains that the public utilities, access roads, drainage, and other facilities available to the site are adequate. The Petitioner states that the operational hours have been carefully planned to minimize traffic congestion in the public streets. The Petitioner further states that the proposed daycare aligns with the objectives of the Comprehensive Plan as the daycare aims to contribute positively to the community, promote early childhood education, and support working families and conforms to other applicable regulations of the district in which is it located. Staff is supportive of the Petitioner's request. Staff does not believe the proposed conditional use for a daycare center will have an adverse impact on the public or adjacent properties. Other departments reviewed the Petitioner's proposal and did not object to the conditional use request, subject to the fire safety concerns being addressed before occupancy is granted. The conditional use will not be a detriment or endanger the welfare of the general public. The proposed use complies with the Comprehensive Plan and furthers childcare services available to the local community. Staff finds that the standards for a conditional use have been met. Based on these findings, staff recommends that the Planning & Zoning Commission make a motion to adopt staff's findings as the findings of the Planning & Zoning Commission and recommend approval of the following motion: \\Vfs\vfcdh$\PLAN\Planning & Zoning COMM\P&Z 2023\Staff Reports\PZ-13-23 1630-1638 W Algonquin Rd (CU - Daycare).docx 5 "A conditional use permit allowing a daycare to operate at 1630-1638 W. Algonquin Road, as illustrated on the plans dated 07-18-2023 and 08-21-2023, subject to the following conditions: a) The proposed business shall be licensed by the State of Illinois as a daycare center. A copy of the license issued by the State of Illinois in order to operate a day care center in this location shall be placed on file with the Director of Community Development; b) Compliance with all applicable Village Code requirements, including, but not limited to, fire code and building regulations; c) The conditional use permit granted herein shall apply to the area identified as 1630-1638 West Algonquin Road and that an amendment to this conditional use shall be required prior to any future expansion of this daycare center; d) Parents of children shall park in the north bank of parking spaces closest to the daycare facility and employees shall park in the south bank of parking spaces; and e) The daycare shall follow the "Procedure for Walking to Eastern Playground" to safely walk children across the drive aisle to the east playground."

Prospect, IL 60056 P (847) 640 7272 F: (847) 640 7250 www,taschicago.org Turkish American Society of Chicago intended to open a childcare center, Rose Garden Academy, at 1630-1638 Algonquin Road Mount Prospect, IL 0056. The facility's daily operating hours on weekdays, from 7 am to 6 pm, will cater to 78 preschoolers aged 4 and 3, as well as 12 toddlers aged 1 and 2, under our daycare program. Our team of dedicated professionals, consisting of 12 teaching staff and 2 non -teaching staff, will ensure a safe and enriching environment for all children in our care. 1. Introduction: Rose Garden Academy, owned by the Turkish American Society, is a well-established and reputable childcare facility with over 10 years of experience providing quality preschool education in Mt. Prospect. We are now excited to present our proposal to establish a new childcare facility, offering both preschool and daycare services. This business plan addresses the concerns of the conditional use of the new building and outlines how Rose Garden Academy will adhere to the Village's regulations while benefiting the community. 2. The establishment, maintenance, or operation of the conditional use will not be detrimental to, or endanger the public health, safety, morals, comfort, or general welfare; Rose Garden Academy is dedicated to providing a safe and nurturing environment for children in our care. Our facility will meet and exceed all local health and safety standards, including regular inspections, maintenance, and adherence to strict health protocols. We will employ certified teachers and staff trained in emergency response procedures, ensuring the well-being of the children at all times. 3. The conditional use will not be injurious to the uses and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity for the purposes already permitted, nor substantially diminish and impair property values within the neighborhood in which it is to be located; We understand the importance of maintaining harmonious relationships with neighboring properties. Our facility will be designed to blend seamlessly into the community, adhering to local aesthetics and zoning regulations. As a professional child care provider, we are committed to ensuring that our activities will not cause disturbances to nearby properties. Additionally, we will contribute positively to the community by offering essential services for working parents, which can enhance the appeal and value of the area. 4. The establishment of the conditional use will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of the surrounding property for uses permitted in the district; Rose Garden Academy's proposed facility will contribute to the neighborhood's development by offering early childhood education services. We will work closely with the Planning & Zoning Commission to ensure that our establishment aligns with the broader development goals of the area. Our facility will add value to the community by creating jobs and promoting the education and well-being of young children. 5. Adequate public utilities, access roads, drainage and/or necessary facilities have been or will be provided; We understand the importance of having adequate public utilities and access roads to minimize the impact on the neighborhood. Our facility will be equipped with modern utilities and constructed in a way that facilitates smooth ingress and egress of parents and staff. We will also ensure proper drainage to prevent any negative impact on the surrounding area during inclement weather. 6. Adequate measures have been or will be taken to provide ingress and egress so designed as to minimize traffic congestion in the public streets; Rose Garden Academy's operational hours have been carefully planned to minimize traffic congestion in the public streets. As we will be closed during weekends and have no summer school for preschool students, our presence will not contribute to excessive traffic during peak hours. Furthermore, we encourage parents to carpool and provide ample parking spaces to reduce road traffic. 7. The proposed conditional use is not contrary to the objectives of the current Comprehensive Plan for the Village; We have thoroughly reviewed the Village's Comprehensive Plan and ensured that our childcare facility's establishment aligns with its objectives. Our project aims to contribute positively to the community, promote early childhood education, and support working families. 8. The conditional use shall, in all other respects, conform to the applicable regulations of the district in which it is located, except as such regulations may, in each instance, be modified pursuant to the recommendations of the Planning & Zoning Commission We will diligently adhere to all local regulations and zoning requirements set forth by the Planning & Zoning Commission. In conclusion, Rose Garden Academy's proposal for a childcare facility in Mt.Prospect is designed with a strong commitment to public health, safety, and the welfare of the community. With our extensive experience in providing quality preschool education, we are confident that our new facility will be a valuable addition to the area. We assure you that we will meet all the conditions for the conditional use of the building, while also upholding the values of the Turkish American Society in promoting early childhood education and fostering a nurturing environment for children. _ _� _____-_____-_____ *�' ^_�" "v ~= " �~�^ .voult Sep. 29th, 2023 William J. Cooney Director of Community Development Community Development Department Village of Mount Prospect 50 S. Emerson Street Mount Prospect, IL 60056 RE: PZ -13-23 / 1630-1638 W.Algonquin Road CU - Daycare Second Reading Waiver Request Dear Mr.Cooney, I hope this message finds you well. I am writing this letter regarding the application for the conditional use permit of the property located at 1630-1638 W.Algonquin Road by Turkish American Society as a daycare. The conditional use request was presented before the Village's Planning and Zoning Commission by Village staff in the form of a public hearing on Thursday, Sep.28th, 2023, and received a unanimously favorable recommendation from the Commission. We understand that the next step in the Village's process for the conditional use application will be for the request to be presented at the next Village Board meeting — expected to be held on Tuesday, Oct. 17th, 2023 — for its first reading. A second reading of the conditional use request and a formal vote by the Board would then be completed at the following Board meeting — expected to be held on Tuesday, Nov.7th, 2023. We know that the Board may consider waiving the typical requirement for a second reading of the request before taking action and voting on the matter. As such, please consider this letter a formal request for the second reading to be waived and for the Board to vote on the conditional use request after the first reading at its next regularly scheduled meeting. Our foundation would benefit greatly from the immediate action by the Board, should the request be approved, as it would provide enough time before the winter break to complete our licensing procedure with the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS). Thank you for your consideration, and please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any questions. Sincerely, Mustafa Tahran Turkish American Society, Inc. Sep. 1 5th,2023 Ann Choi Development Planner File Community Development Via e-mail: achoijl mount rosect.orge The Village of Mount Prospect Re: 1630-1638 W. Algonquin Road / Conditional Use: Daycare / Response to Pick-up/Drop-off Concerns Dear Ms.Choi, Here is our updated plan for Pick-up/Drop-off Procedure responding to your concerns and the procedure for walking children safely across the east drive aisle to the eastern playground: Pick-up/Drop-off Procedure: During the designated pickup and drop-off periods, parents will follow a prescribed route as follows: They will enter the plaza parking lot via the Algonquin Road entrance and subsequently exit the parking lot through either the Busse Road egress or Algonquin Road egress. This pathway is visually illustrated in the accompanying diagram. Parents' vehicles will come to a halt at one of the designated 13 parking spaces (located within the blue -highlighted area, as depicted in the image below), directly in front of the daycare facility, where they will facilitate the safe embarkation/disembarkation of their children. To further ensure the well-being of our young charges, two dedicated staff members will be on hand to escort the children between the parking spots and the daycare entrance. At their discretion, some parents may opt to personally accompany their children between their vehicles and the daycare entrance. Please note that the parking area for 14 cars in the south parking spaces (located within the red -highlighted area, as depicted in the image below) will be reserved for the staff. MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING OF THE PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION CASE NO. PZ -13-23 Hearing Date: September 28, 2023 PROPERTY ADDRESS: 1630-1638 W. Algonquin Road PETITIONER: Mustafa Tahran, Turkish American Society, Inc. PROPERTY OWNER: Nancy and Cristofaro Pirrone PUBLICATION DATE: September 13, 2023 REQUEST: Conditional Use for a Daycare Center MEMBERS PRESENT: Joseph Donnelly William Beattie Thomas Fitzgerald Ewa Weir Greg Miller MEMBERS ABSENT: Donald Olsen Walter Szymczak Norbert Mizwicki STAFF MEMBERS PRESENT: Ann Choi — Development Planner Mo Khan — Development Planner INTERESTED PARTIES: Mustafa Tahran Chairman Donnelly called the meeting to order at 7:01 PM. Commissioner Fitzgerald made a motion seconded by Commissioner Miller to approve the minutes from the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting on August 24, 2023. The minutes were approved 4-0 (Chairman Donnelly abstained). Chairman Donnelly introduced the first item of business: Case PZ -13-23, 1630-1638 W. Algonquin Road, a request for a conditional use for a daycare. Ms. Choi stated that the Petitioner, Mustafa Tahran of the Turkish American Society, is seeking conditional use approval to operate a daycare, Rose Academy, to occupy 6,000 square feet within an existing shopping center. Ms. Choi explained that the subject property, which occupies 1630-1632-1634- 1638 W. Algonquin Road, is zoned B-3 Community Shopping. Ms. Choi stated that as enrollment continues to fill to capacity at their current location at 501 Midway Drive, the Turkish American Society would like to open an off-site daycare center to accommodate their growing needs. Ms. Choi indicated that there are two existing playground areas at the subject property. Ms. Choi further stated that the proposed facility would serve 78 preschoolers aged 3-4 years old and 12 toddlers aged 1-2 years old for a total of 90 children, and would operate Monday through Friday, from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting— September 28, 2023 PZ -13-23 Ms. Choi explained that a previous conditional use for a daycare center was issued for "A Mother's Touch" at the proposed location in 1994 which was subsequently amended twice; once in 1994 to expand the 2,400 square foot facility to 3,600 square feet, and then again in 1996 to expand the 3,600 square foot facility to 6,000 square feet to accommodate up to 97 children. Ms. Choi stated the property ownership was transferred to Safari Daycare which occupied the space from 2011 and closed sometime in late 2021/early 2022. Ms. Choi further stated that due to the cease in operations for more than 21 months, the conditional use has expired and requires the Petitioner to apply for a new conditional use permit. Ms. Choi presented a slide of an enlarged site plan and explained that the Petitioner worked with staff to come up with a pick-up and drop-off procedure to eliminate any queuing in front of the daycare that might cause back-up on Algonquin Road. Ms. Choi explained that parents would be encouraged to park in any of the 13 parking spaces directly in front of the daycare center. Ms. Choi stated that according to the Petitioner, peak times for the pick-up and drop-off are from 8:00 AM to 8:20 AM and from 3:00 PM to 3:20 PM. Ms. Choi further stated that to ensure the well-being of the youngest children, two dedicated staff members would be available to escort the children between the parking spots and the daycare entrance. Ms. Choi noted that daycare staff would be encouraged to park south of the parking spaces for parents. Ms. Choi stated that in addition to the drop-off and pick-up procedure, the Petitioner provided a procedure for walking children safely across a drive aisle to the east playground. Ms. Choi explained that children would exit through the door on the east side of the building and prior to the group's departure, a staff member will secure the aisle gate. Ms. Choi stated that all children would maintain a firm grip on a designated walking rope, with a staff member leading at the front, facing the children, and walking backward, while another staff member would hold the opposite end of the rope, also facing the children. Ms. Choi indicated that the group would then follow the crosswalk for entry into the playground and after ensuring the safety of all children, a staff member would subsequently secure the playground gate and re -open the drive aisle gate. Ms. Choi explained that the same process would be carefully followed upon returning the children back to the building. Ms. Choi then presented photos of the safety gate and cross walk to the east playground. Ms. Choi then presented a slide of the proposed floor plan and stated that the Petitioner does not intend to make any major renovations to the 6,000 square foot unit and intends to use the space as -is. Ms. Choi then went onto explain the parking requirement for the daycare. Ms. Choi stated that the shopping center will meet the required parking by providing 105 parking spaces and of the 105 parking spaces provided, 23 parking spaces would be required for daycare drop-off and pick-up. Ms. Choi also stated that the shopping center is 64% occupied and with the addition of the daycare, the shopping center would be approximately 86% occupied. Ms. Choi noted that the shopping center has not reported any parking issues. Ms. Choi stated that the proposal meets the conditional use standards and believes the proposed daycare center would not have an adverse impact on the public or adjacent properties. Ms. Choi further stated that the proposed daycare aligns with the objectives of the Comprehensive Plan as the daycare would provide childcare services available to the local community. Ms. Choi also noted that other departments reviewed the Petitioner's proposal and did not object to the conditional use request. Ms. Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting— September 28, 2023 PZ -13-23 Choi also stated that the conditional use would not be a detriment or endanger the welfare of the general public. Ms. Choi concluded by stating that based on these findings, staff recommends that the Planning & Zoning Commission make a motion to adopt staff's findings as the findings of the Planning & Zoning Commission and recommend approval of the following motion: "A conditional use permit allowing a daycare to operate at 1630-1638 W. Algonquin Road, as illustrated on the plans dated 07-18-2023 and 08-21-2023, subject to the following conditions: a) The proposed business shall be licensed by the State of Illinois as a daycare center. A copy of the license issued by the State of Illinois in order to operate a day care center in this location shall be placed on file with the Director of Community Development; b) Compliance with all applicable Village Code requirements, including, but not limited to, fire code and building regulations; c) The conditional use permit granted herein shall apply to the area identified as 1630-1638 West Algonquin Road and that an amendment to this conditional use shall be required prior to any future expansion of this daycare center; d) Parents of children shall park in the north bank of parking spaces closest to the daycare facility and employees shall park in the south bank of parking spaces; and e) The daycare shall follow the "Procedure for Walking to Eastern Playground" to safely walk children across the drive aisle to the east playground." Ms. Choi stated that the Village Board's decision is final for this case. Chairman Donnelly asked if there were any questions for staff. Commissioner Weir asked if the purpose of the drive aisle is for trash retrieval. Ms. Choi responded that it is used for fire and service. Vice Chairman Beattie asked if the residents to the north of the shopping center use the drive aisle to get from Dempster Street to Algonquin Road. Chairman Donnelly responded that it is possible to use the drive aisle as a shortcut but it is not conducive for vehicles who want to make a left turn onto Algonquin Road. Chairman Donnelly stated that the drive aisle probably does not get much traffic. Ms. Choi stated that on the occasions she was on-site to do parking counts, she did not see any traffic coming down that drive aisle. Chairman Donnelly also stated he did not see any traffic but confirmed that the drive aisle is connected to the property to the north. Commissioner Weir asked if staff knows if the building meets the state requirements for a daycare. Ms. Choi answered that the Petitioner would be able to provide more information as they are working with the state. Chairman Donnelly asked if there were any other comments or questions from the commissioners and there were none. Chairman Donnelly swore in the Petitioner, Mustafa Tahran, Turkish American Society, 501 Midway Drive, Mount Prospect, IL. Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting— September 28, 2023 PZ -13-23 4 Chairman Donnelly asked the Petitioner to explain what they are looking to do with the subject property. Mr. Tahran explained that he was previously the Assistant Director of the private school at the Turkish American Society and that he left his position to momentarily work on the daycare project. Chairman Donnelly asked the Petitioner if he knows of any traffic on the drive aisle. Mr. Tahran responded that he did not observe any traffic besides a dumpster truck and that other cars do not use the drive aisle frequently. Chairman Donnelly asked if the Petitioner is working with the state for licensure. Mr. Tahran responded that he started the process with the state one month ago and met with the area's state representative (Alex Medina) from the Department of Children and Family Services on August 25th at the proposed location. According to Mr. Tahran, DCFS explained that as soon as Village Board approval is obtained, DCFS would then accept the state license application and probably within 2 to 3 months, the licensing will be issued. Chairman Donnelly asked how soon the daycare would be open. Mr. Tahran responded that they would plan to move in January when the second semester begins. Chairman Donnelly asked where they would be moving from. Mr. Tahran responded that their current program is run at 501 Midway Drive and currently 65 students are enrolled. Mr. Tahran stated that the state would first issue a permit after observing the daycare operations for six months, and then the full license would be issued to operate. Mr. Tahran stated he is expecting to get the full license from the state by the end of the year. Vice Chairman Beattie asked what the limit is for the number of students for a 6,000 square foot facility. Ms. Choi stated that the number is limited to 90 children due to the parking requirement but that the playground area also further limited the number of students per the state requirements. Ms. Choi deferred to the Petitioner on this issue. Mr. Tahran recalled that 35 square feet per student is required for the interior space and 70 square feet is required for the playground space, and 80 to 90 children is feasible for the space, but because of the parking limitation, more than 90 children will not be feasible at this location. Vice Chairman Beattie stated that it sounds like the 90 children limitation is something the daycare can work with easily. Hearing no further comments or questions, Chairman Donnelly closed the hearing and asked for a motion. Commissioner Weir made a motion seconded by Commissioner Miller to approve the following motion: "A conditional use permit allowing a daycare to operate at 1630-1638 W. Algonquin Road, as illustrated on the plans dated 07-18-2023 and 08-21-2023, subject to the following conditions: a) The proposed business shall be licensed by the State of Illinois as a daycare center.
