recommendation

Summary Background:
* The subject property is located at 4000 Oliver Street within the Traditional Residential Neighborhood Character Area of the Gateway Arts District and zoned R-55 ("Family Detached Residential").
* The owners of the property plan to operate a Family Day Care from the residence through their non-profit, St. Joseph's House. To accommodate their specific operations, the owners plan to construct a one-room addition to the south end (front) of the existing residence, increasing the gross floor area of the residence by approximately 432 SF.
* This type of improvement does not typically require the submission of a Detailed Site Plan. However, uses permitted with a Special Permit (in this case, a Family Day Care facility) require the approval of a DSP under County Code.
* The applicant is requesting the following:
o Approval of the issuance of a Special Permit to permit the operation of a Family Day Care facility (8 children or less) on the property.
o Approval of a Detailed Site Plan in connection with the approval of the Special Permit to allow a Family Day Care within a one-room addition to an existing single family detached dwelling.
Next Steps:
Any recommendations adopted by the City Council at the February 16, 2021 meeting will be conveyed to the Planning Board before the M-NCPPC hearing. No additional City Council action is required.
