Surrey planning report 7922-0180-00

Staff Report to Council Application No.: 7922-0180-00 Planning & Development Report Page 6 Themes/Policies • Policy F2.2: Support delivery of adequate, licensed, affordable, and high-quality child care spaces in locations conveniently accessible to families. (The proposed childcare centre is in a commercial area in close proximity to where people live and work. The development site is located adjacent to a main east-to-west traffic corridor through the City (108 Avenue) and has multiple access points to allow for convenient access to the site.) Zoning By-law Parking Variance • The applicant is requesting the following variance: o to reduce the rate at which parking for a child care centre is calculated from 0.7 parking spaces per employee to 0.65, and from 0.15 parking spaces per licensed child for drop-off to 0.1. • The proposed childcare centre complies with the City’s location and siting guidelines for child care centres and will be subject to review and licensing approval by the Fraser Health Authority. The proposed child care centre is in a commercial area, close to where people live and work. • The proposed outdoor play area is located at the rear of the property and will be directly accessible from the child care space. Children will not leave the premises to access the play area. The existing building and a row of trees along the west property line will buffer the play area from adjacent residential uses. • The proposed child care centre will operate Monday to Friday from 7:30 am to 5:30 pm. Pick up and drop off of children is anticipated to occur gradually, with drop off occurring between 7:30 am to 9:30 am and pick-up between 4:00pm and 5:30 pm. • The applicant has submitted a parking study for the development site to support the requested variance, prepared by Creative Transportation Solutions Ltd. The study includes a parking accumulation survey on the current parking availability and demand, the parking requirements for the proposed child care centre, and advice on an appropriate number of off-street parking spaces to meet existing and future demand. The overall surveyed maximum parking demand for existing uses at the development site was 52 parking spaces. The study found that there would be sufficient parking available to accommodate existing uses and the proposed child care centre, taking into account the spaces that would be lost as a result of conversion to outdoor play space. • On the north side of 14727 – 108 Avenue there are an additional 6 parking spaces located on- site, but do not meet Zoning Bylaw parking space specifications, and therefore have not been included in the parking numbers discussed above.
