PLANNING, ZONING, LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES
APRIL 10, 2017
Present:
Committee members Dennis Sullivan, chairman. Mark Getsay and Ken
Brady.
Also present: Council President Michael Killeen; Councilmembers Lynda Appel, Nick
Nunnari, Michael O'Donnell; Law Director John Wheeler and Planning
Director Jim Bedell.
The meeting convened at 7:56 p.m.
I. Discuss request from Kasey Crawford Kellem for a conditional use permit for an
arts and wellness center for children at 27366 Center Ridge Road.
Applicant requested prior to the meeting to postpone this request until a future time.
The item will remain in committee until notification from applicant.
II. Discuss Ordinance 2016-149, amending §1216.03 footnotes (0)(1) and (0)(5) as to
licensed child care facilities and preschool facilities in business districts.
Planning Director Bedell explained that this draft evolved during several meetings with
the planning commission. (See attached memo dated 4/10/17.) The original request was to
remove the requirement in General Business and Shopping Center districts that licensed day
care centers are only permitted in standalone buildings and the sole use on the parcel and also
to increase the maximum building coverage from 15 to 35 percent. The planning commission
had concerns regarding safety as there could be multiple uses in a shopping center, and a
playground may be near uses that are dangerous for children, such as dumpsters. compactors or
driveways. They also noted that a comprehensive look at day care in the zoning code was
needed because regulations for them are located in multiple places, and there may be limited or
conflicting regulations.
The first step is to add a new Chapter 1226, Standards for Specific Uses. This provides
a location to consolidate regulations for uses that are permitted in various chapters of the
zoning code. It eliminates the need to duplicate regulations in multiple chapters that may result
in inconsistent regulations.
The second step is to relocate all ofthe existing licensed child day care center and adult
day care facility regulations throughout the code to this new Chapter 1226 and make
corrections where needed, such as using standardized language. This better organizes the code
and makes it easier for the public to find the requirements for licensed child day care centers.
^
The third and final step is to add regulations specific to licensed child day care centers
in a new section 1226.02 to address the aforementioned concerns regarding safety and
playground design with an emphasis on licensed child day care centers being largely the same,
whether in a standalone building or in a shopping center. To this end, regulations were drafted
specific to playground design and location, parkingand loading requirements, pedestrian safety
features, security, etc. The planning commission recommended that Council adopt the
proposed regulations to improve Westlake's standards for licensed child day care centers, with
the caveat that, when located in the General Business and Shopping Center districts, they will
continue to be only permitted in standalone buildings and the sole use on the parcel with the
maximum building coverage remaining at 15 percent. Any existing licensed child day care
centers that do not meet the new regulations may continue to operate as legally non
conforming uses. These recommendations were reviewed by the Police and Law departments.
No suggested changes were made for adult day care facilities.
Motion by Mr. Brady, seconded by Mr. Getsay, to recommend to Council that
legislation be drafted relative to planning commission's recommendations as outlined in
Mr. Bedell's memo dated 4/10/17. Motion carried, 3 yeas, 0 nays.
Meeting adjourned at 8:23 p.m.

RE:
Ordinance 2016-149 with changes recommended by the Planning Commission
440.617.4324
This draft evolved during several meetings with an emphasis on providing language that would
make a daycare center the same in a shopping as it would be in a standalone building. These
recommendations were reviewed by the Police and Law Departments.
Timeline
10/18/16 - application is received.
11/9/16 - PZL moves to have the Law Director draft an ordinance (see original ordinance
on page 2 of this memo), cited safety concerns from the Police Department when day
care regulations were drafted in 1997-98.
11/17/16 - meeting with applicant. Planning and Captain Turner to discuss safety
concerns noted in his memo.
11/17/16 - Council refers ordinance to the Planning Commission.
11/30/16 - Police Chief, Planning Director and applicant meet to discuss Captain
Turner's safety concerns.
12/5/16 - the commission tabled the ordinance because they required time to consider
information presented at the meeting, such as a traffic report that was received from the
applicant earlier in the day that they had not been reviewed by them or staff.
1/9/17 - the commission asked staff to provide additional draft regulations to address
safety concerns from the Police Department along with a holistic view of them.
2/2/17 - Planning Director meets with applicant to discuss draft changes resulting from
prior meeting.
2/6/17 - the commission reviewed the revised draft and made additional suggestions for
text amendments including reorganization and/or consolidation of the regulations and
comprehensive recommendations for safety and legal measures.
2/23/17 - this was a work session where the commission reviewed suggested code
amendments and discussed the proposal with the applicant. After this meeting, staff
incorporated additional language regarding parking lot safety, playground design and
dumpster locations.
1
3/6/17 - the commission reviewed the revised draft and made suggestions for additional
code amendments regarding playground location in relation to existing equipment such as
compactors behind buildings and parking lot safety. The applicant asked that it be tabled
so they can see these changes before they are acted on by council.
4/3/17 - the commission reviewed the revised draft and an additional amendment was
requested to include mechanical equipment in the section regarding distances from
dumpsters and compactors [1226.02(c)(l)(e)(7). In spite of these efforts, concerns
remained about the number of locations that would be available if the code were amended
to allow child day care centers in multi-tenant buildings in General Business and
Shopping Center Districts and the appropriateness of them in shopping centers where
there may be conflicting uses within the centers and behind them where playgrounds may
be located. Therefore, the commission recommended the draft amendments, including
provisions for mechanical equipment as stated above, and with day care facilities to
continue to be in stand-alone buildings and the sole use on a parcel in the General
Business and Shopping Center zoning districts.
Original Ordinance 2016-149
1216.03
SCHEDULE OF PERMITTED BUILDINGS AND USES.
AAA
(o)
In addition to the general conditions of Section 1227.03. the following
conditions shall apply to the licensed child care facilities and preschool
facilities in a Shopping Center or General Business District:
{4=) The day care or presch<
@$ £H The lot contains sufficient land and size to provide adequate open
space, safe vehicular, pedestrian, and emergency vehicle access,
good circulation patterns and vehicle queuing on the property.
® £H The front yard setback for the building and use is not less than 100
feet.
(4) £11 The side yard setbacks for the buildings are not less than twenty
~ feet.
(§) £41 The maximum building coverage shall be 15% 35% of the total
zoning lot.
New Draft Recommended from the Planning Commission
1. The first action is to add a new chapter, Ch. 1226 Standards for Specific Uses. There
currently is not a Chapter 1226 in the zoning code. There are Chapters 1225 and 1227.
•
To include uses that are permitted in various areas of the Zoning Code, as there is less
chance for overlap and it is more likely to be found by the public than the scattered
fashion we have today, where regulations are located throughout the code and at
times inconsistently.
•
Not to be confused with Chapter 1230, General Provisions, which was added in 2015
for typical regulations that apply throughout the code, such as for unobstructed sight
zones at corners and parking lot lighting.
•
•
This new chapter will provide a location for standards relative to specific uses
permitted in various districts of the Zoning Code.
This eliminates the need to duplicate regulations in each chapter and is one of the
reasons for the current question of whether the code is inconsistent in regard to
daycare centers.
•
Should eventually include specific regulations for uses that are scattered throughout
the code, such as car washes, shopping centers, restaurants, institutional uses, etc.
2. The second part is to relocate all of the day care text scattered throughout the code to
this new Chapter 1226 and make corrections where needed.
