Mr. Kevin Chastine, Planner II, said the four-foot side variance is requested for three (3) parcels, adjacent
to one another, with all lots close to the same size. The lots were platted in 1948 and are undersized for the
Residential-6 (R6) zone, at 4,907, 4,912, and 4,917 square feet. Due to the undersized nature of the lots,
the applicant is requesting the four-foot variance on each side to construct a duplex on each lot. Duplex is
a permitted use in this zone district. The square footage per unit has been met, as has the width requirement
for the zone. Staff recommends approval of the variance as requested.

Mr. Steve Martin, representing the applicant, said the applicant intends to build very nice duplexes on these
lots.
Mr. Wyatt asked if there are existing structures in the area that are less than l0-foot side yard setback. Mr.
Chastine said there are some in the area of these lots that are set close to the property line. This is an older
part of Gallatin and the lots were platted before zoning was put into effect.
Mr. Puryear said he did not see Fire Department comments. Mr. Chastine said he spoke to the Building
Official and the 12 foot space between structures satisfies building code requirements. The Fire Department
has approved similar requests in other subdivisions. He added that overhangs may be closer, they are not
addressed in the building codes.
Mr. Puryear motioned to approve Resolution 2016-11 with the following conditions:

Prevíous Approvals
On October28,1985, the Planning Commission approved a site plan for a Convenience Sales and
Service use on the property. (8-3a-85)
In 1999, a site plan for General Personal Services use was approved administratively. The building

on file since this approval.
DISCUSSION:
Anølysis
The owner and applicant request approval of a Conditional Use Permit for a Limited Child Care
Facility for Kidville Learning Center, per Section 08.02.010.D of the Gallatin Zoning Ordinance, on
a 0.275 acre lot, zoned Commercial Services (CS), located at 551 Blythe Avenue (S.B.E. Tax Map
#1r3wL1034.00).
Section 08.02.010.D of the Gallatin Zoning Ordinance states that a Limited Child Care facility
requires a Conditional Use Permit in the Commercial Services (CS) zone district (Attachment 1-3).
The applicant proposes to convert an existing commercial building to a child care facility and
provide a fenced playground area behind the building. No structural renovations to the exterior
façade of the building are planned at this time. The owner and applicant shall comply with all State,
Building and Fire Code requirements for a child care facility.
There are no other buildings located on the lot; however, lot (113WL1034.00) and five (5) adjacent
lots (Parcels ll3I(/L1036.00, 037.00, 038.00, 039.00 and 006.00) located to the south, are considered
a zone lot since they contain the same zoning and are under the same ownership. These lots are
enclosed within the same fenced area. Parcels 0.36, 0.37 and 0.38 are vacant and are used as a
shared parking area and Parcels 039.00 and 006.00 contain buildings with additional parking spaces.
The other buildings located on these parcels are currently vacant and have been typically used as
warehousing or light manufacturing. The CUP only applies to parcel 034.00. A photo of the
existing building is provided in Attachment 1-5. No portion of this property is located in a flood
hazard area and the property contains no unusual topographical features (Attachment l-2).
Parking
Gallatin Zoning Ordinance (Table 11-01) requires Day Cares (Limited Child Care) to have one (1)
parking space for every four (4) person licensed capacity. The requirements under the Special
Conditions for Limited Child and Adult Care Facilities, requires one (1) accessory ofÊstreet parking
space for each five persons accommodated in the day care facility (Attachment 1-4). The childcare
facility will have a maximum occupancy of 30 people which requires seven (7) parking spaces and
one (1) handicapped parking space. The plan indicates seven (7) regular parking spaces will be
located in the shared parking area on the adjacent parcel (036.00), and one (1) handicapped parking
space will be located in front of the building. Additional parking areas are located on parcels 039.00
and 006.00 that are primarily used for those businesses. To accommodate the required parking, a
use agreement between the property owner and the day care operator to permit the off-street parking
on the adjacent parcel is required.
Access
There is one driveway into the site located directly in front of the building. This provides access to
the handicapped parking space in front of the building and to the unpaved parking area on the south
