0 S 2 set forth in the letter. Each letter shall be kept on file by the Zoning Officer and shall constitute the approval for the large day care home in question. If the application is denied, the Zoning shall notify the applicant of the denial state the reasons for denial in writing. applicant may appeal the decision of the Officer to the Board of Adjustment as sei Article 21 of this Ordinance. Off icer and shall The Zoning forth in Each large day care home approved by the Zoning Officer shall be reviewed annually by him /her to assure compliance with the standards of evaluation for such facilities. Any change in the operation of the large day care home will constitute a modification and require the approval of the Board of Adjustment under the provisions of Article 8 of this ordinance. in determining whether a change in the operation of - the large day care home has occurred, the Zoning Officer shall be guided by the procedures and criteria contained in Article 8.7. [The standards of evaluation are essentially the same as those required for larger facilities and used by the Board of Adjustment in deciding on an application. Additional standards included as part of the amendments are buffer requirements and a restriction on the location of outdoor play areas. The requirement of 75 square feet of outdoor space is a State standard. If the outdoor space is located on existing nitrification fields or space reserved for that Purpose, the soil may be compacted or a low pressure system damaged by the pedestrian traffic. The restriction is simply an effort to prevent such a situation from occurring. A concern common to all types of day care facilities is the amount of traffic likely to be generated by such a use. Day care involving less than six children is not licensed by the State or regulated by the Zoning Ordinance. If a large day care home may have up to i5 children, the difference between the two day care arrangements is ten children. In a worst case situation, this would mean that an additional 20 vehicular trips are generated by the use. This is equivalent to the trip generation of two single - family homes. Since the facility would also be a single family residence, it could generate (at m &st) traffic equivalent to that of three single- family residences. Under the provisions of Article 6.27.2 c) above, the operator may faced with upgrading a road to a higher standard. This provision is intended to address specific concerns about traffic and its impact on a road.] ARTICLtI4 - SITE PLAN APPROVAL PROCEDURES Proposed changes /new provisions are highlighted in bold.
