Review and Recommendation:

The dual restaurant concept of Tipsy Egg and The Uncommon offers a variety of entertainment activities, which include background music as well as indoor and outdoor live performances. An Entertainment Use Permit (EUP) in the City Center District (CCD) is required for entertainment activities provided outdoors with the property being located within 1,320 feet of a residentially zoned property and if there is entertainment provided indoors with the property being located 600 feet or less from a residentially zoned property. The nearest residentially zoned property is approximately 715 feet from Tipsy Egg and The Uncommon.

The initial Entertainment Use Permit approval included a one (1) year time condition to evaluate the compatibility of live entertainment with the surrounding residential and business developments. There have been no reports of disturbances.

Planning staff has reviewed the request and finds consistency with the General Plan and CCD zoning and recommends approval with no additional time condition.

Pick-Up Times

2 designated drop-off times will be assigned between 4:45 pm - 6:00 pm in 15 minute increments.

Review and Recommendation:

The applicant has taken proactive steps to operate a residential child care home with minimal disruption to traffic flow and on-street parking in the neighborhood by assigning incremental drop-off and pick-up times and by designating on-site parking spaces. Two parking spaces are designated for the drop-off and pick-up of children and a time will be assigned to the parents between the times 6:30 am - 7:45 am and 4:45 pm - 6:00 pm in 15 minute increments on the drive-way to avoid adding additional traffic and congestion on Peach Tree Drive. The lot is approximately 9,378 sq ft, with an approximately 2,660 sq ft home. All parents are required to walk the child in and sign them in and out. A portion of the rear yard is used as an outdoor activity area and is fenced off. The proposed residential care facility will operate year-round, Monday - Friday, from 6:30 am - 6 pm. The children will be between the ages of 1 to 6 years old. Child daycare activities include playtime, learning, eating, cleaning, and nap time. In addition to the applicant, there is one additional staff member that will be helping out with the daycare.

Planning staff finds that the proposed residential child care complies with Use Permit Criteria in Section 35-305(3)(d) of the Zoning Code as shown in the attached exhibit "Use Permit Criteria". For this reason, Planning staff is recommending approval with a one-year time limit to evaluate the compatibility of the residential child care facility in the single-family neighborhood.

Public / Neighborhood Notification

This request was noticed in accordance with the requirements of the Chandler Zoning Code.
A neighborhood meeting sign was posted on the site and on social media via NextDoor.
A neighborhood meeting was held on May 13th, 2024. There was one person that attended the meeting with questions for the applicant to ensure that all the correct measures are being taken to apply for the state license.
As of the writing of this memo, Planning staff is aware of five people in opposition to the request having concerns about the applicant's ability to operate the childcare. Per Zoning Code section 35-305(3), Use Permit criteria focuses on land use considerations. Factors relating to the quality of the program to be provided or the applicant's qualifications to provide such a program are excluded from staff's purview. Such qualifications are reviewed by and licensed by the Arizona Department of Health Services.

Recommended Conditions of Approval

Planning staff recommends Planning and Zoning Commission move to recommend approval of the Use Permit, subject to the following conditions:

The residential childcare home shall have no more than ten (10) children for compensation, at any time.
This Use Permit to operate a childcare home shall be null and void in the event that the property ceases to be the applicant's primary home.
The site shall be maintained in a clean and orderly manner.
Two on-site parking spaces shall be designated for drop-off and pick-up as shown in the site plan and shall be reserved for such use during the appointed drop-off and pick-up time periods.
Children shall be assigned a drop-off and pick-up time to prevent more than two drop-offs or pick-ups at any given time.
The Use Permit shall remain in effect for one (1) year from the date of City Council approval. Continuation of the Use Permit beyond the expiration date shall require re-applicaion to and approval by the City of Chandler.
