III. Intent of Petition:
The applicant for Zoning Case 23-011 CUP is requesting a Conditional Use Permit to
operate a Major Home Occupation consisting of an in-home Child Care for up to twelve
children
IV. Planning & Zoning Commission Considerations from Staff Review:
1. The property under consideration is located 302 S Evergreen Avenue within the
City of Roswell jurisdiction.
2. The property is served by Evergreen Avenue, classified as a “Local Street” between
Juniper Street and Alameda Street.
3. The property under consideration is in the R-1 Residential Zoning District within
a residential block where all of the properties are zoned R-1.
4. The property under consideration has a driveway that is approximately 22’ wide
by approximately 40’ long from the house to back of sidewalk and can
accommodate 4 vehicles simultaneously.
5. Due to patterns experienced by similar in-home child care businesses, Staff has
determined that the impact on the surrounding neighborhood and street will be
negligible since drop-off and pick-up times will be staggered and parking is for a
short period of time. The property owner has adequate driveway to accommodate
cars, and the street pavement width is approximately 30’ to accommodate short-
term parking.
6. The Zoning Ordinance allows for Major Home Occupations under Article 62.
Section 6: Standards and Regulations for Major Home Occupations. Section 6: B
allowing a Home Occupation stipulates, “No more than one employee, plus the
inhabitants of the residence shall be on the premises at one time to conduct the
Major Home Occupation.” Section 6: E specifically states the “Group Day Care
Homes for Children shall be limited to more than 6 and up to 12 children as
determined by the State. The Planning and Zoning Commission shall determine
allowable business hours based on the nature of the business.”

7. On June 6, 2023, the City of Roswell’s Planning & Zoning Division Staff issued a
Zoning Verification for the property under consideration stating the following:
“This zoning verification letter is per the request of Sarah Bejarano to operate an
in-home childcare. This Zoning Verification Letter certifies that the property
located at 302 S Evergreen Avenue in Roswell, New Mexico is zoned R-1
Residential. According to the City of Roswell’s Zoning Ordinance Number 20-08
Amended August 13, 2020, Article 62: Home Occupations, Section 5: Standards
and Regulations for Minor Home Occupations F. Family Child Care Home for
children shall be limited to 6 children per day. This Minor Home Occupation for
up to 6 children is an allowed use-by-right in the R-1 Residential Zoning
Districts.”
8. At the time of application, the property owner communicated to Planning &
Zoning Staff that the in-home day care is operating and already has a waiting list
to care for more than six children.
9. The granting of a Conditional Use Permit to allow the expansion of the existing
minor home occupation to a Major Home Occupation to care for up to 12 children
is reasonable and in the public interest.
V. Findings of Fact (Conclusions of Law):
1. A notice of the time and place of the public hearing for this case was published in
the Roswell Daily Record at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date of this hearing.
2. Notifications of the public hearing were mailed via certified mail with return
receipt requested to property owners of record, as shown by the Chaves County
Assessor Map, with lots or land within one-hundred (100) feet of the area under
consideration, excluding public rights-of-way.
3. This agenda, which includes this case, has been posted at City Hall and on the City
of Roswell’s website for over seventy-two (72) hours as required by State of New
Mexico law for a public hearing.
4. As of the time of this writing, the Planning & Zoning Office has received zero (0)
written protests, zero (0) verbal protests, and zero (0) inquiries.

VI. Staff Recommendation:
