Alfredo (staff) presented the application on behalf of Nancy Tilson Simbach, who applied for the Youth Development Center to relocate from the city's South Side to the Central Business District. Alfredo said the move would put the center in a more central, conforming location and allow the organization to be located where services are more accessible. \"They're currently on the South Side of the city... moving downtown to 302 South Loudoun Street would overall be a better location for them,\" Alfredo said.

Staff explained the only portion of the building that requires a conditional-use permit is the area where the youth services will be provided; other portions are planned to remain offices. The proposal calls for internal building work including likely elevator and ADA accessibility adjustments; staff said no changes to the parking lot are proposed. Alfredo said first-floor space may house an adult day-care center currently located on North Cameron Street, while second-floor uses would not change.

Nancy Tilson Simbach, the applicant, said she has begun outreach to the school system to arrange bus drop-offs near the proposed site. \"We are working... we're getting ready to work with the city. There are 3 buses that we've seen come by the spot, so we're hoping that the city will make that a designated drop off for school kids,\" she said. She added that some children will walk, bike or be dropped off by parents, and that she would coordinate with city schools about establishing a designated stop.

A committee member moved to forward the application to City Council with a recommendation for approval. Another member seconded; the motion carried by voice vote. The transcript does not list individual roll-call votes.

Staff had recommended conditions of approval; the committee did not record any contested points in the transcript. The item will proceed to City Council for final action.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Winchester - City Council - Planning and Economic Development Committee - 2:00 PM - Apr 24 2025 - Apr 24, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Winchester City committee voted to forward a conditional-use permit recommendation for the Youth Development Center to operate at 302 South Loudoun Street, with staff noting internal building modifications and no proposed parking changes.","taxTitle","Winchester City, Frederick County, Virginia","taxId",5107,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6575350,"Committee backs conditional-use permit for Fremont Street Day Nursery addition",157,45250,203210,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3113393-bfca4db378bd4f495f79c4fe54fb3120&start=45&end=203","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3113393-bfca4db378bd4f495f79c4fe54fb3120/thumbnail_45250.jpg","/articles/6575350/Winchester-City/Frederick-County/Virginia/Committee-backs-conditional-use-permit-for-Fremont-Street-Day-Nursery-addition","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6575350-f344cc4f8c25a7d5e74bfb049ac3a862/orig.mp4?Expires=1771169489&Signature=GJ4lBZd7jNGVQX5iUYbRcokswTheZhM26huvRO~Td7hKcVRZ0e9e-bWWrNc97tnLXKMHiLfzxk8WCWTHblJHbFCNySQmZ4FBUjPT8exTnr6yft74xYfUQ2Rv3rAUDSqcxyTYre18bCOl0G4QQaftiXGdF4I-dTl9OleTZVMn9QA8IswvEx41CSw6~9vI2q12ID5djhXDw1jCS3mUXUKGwYfY9MhAWvzC4ZMv~B6OPChSfxevpoojtU~1~HJmVVXEM0WpMjo~xRuSmBS2y2690f4LI-1KvO9T2nHqfBZ9XZIlRJVe0uWT49uNd7H3wJAn7egqTcIJuXBp9oh0Lbm1TA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","A Winchester City committee voted to recommend approval of a conditional-use permit for an addition to Fremont Street Day Nursery at 533 Fremont Street.

Sean Vincent, a city staff member who presented the request, said the building originally opened in the 1940s before citywide zoning and is now in the HR1 District, which allows day-care uses only by conditional-use permit. \"It opened back in the 1940s before any citywide zoning existed,\" Vincent said. He said a prior addition in 2004 was just over 2,500 square feet and that the current proposal would not trigger additional parking requirements if the addition is smaller than 25% of the building's total square footage or is under 1,000 square feet. \"If the addition is smaller than 25% of the total square footage of the building, or less than a thousand square feet, it doesn't require parking,\" Vincent said.

The proposed work would convert a brick terrace into a new classroom, include partial demolition adjacent to an existing classroom so two rooms fit, and add a restroom in the rear, Vincent said. Committee members asked no substantive questions during the presentation.

A committee member moved to recommend approval of the permit \"because the use will not adversely affect the health, safety or welfare of persons residing in the neighborhood, nor be detrimental to public welfare,\" and to approve subject to \"general conformity with the proposed site plan and general conformity with the proposed floor plans as submitted.\" The motion carried. The committee's recommendation will be forwarded to the full City Council for final action.

The committee record does not specify individual vote tallies.

Background: The nursery is in the HR1 zoning district, which permits day-care uses only by conditional-use permit when proposed additions or changes exceed local zoning thresholds. The staff presentation noted building-code work likely will be needed for the interior changes, but did not describe additional exterior alterations beyond the classroom and restroom changes.

Committee action on the permit concludes the head committee's review; the item will appear before City Council for a final determination.","A Winchester City committee voted to recommend approval of a conditional-use permit for an addition to Fremont Street Day Nursery at 533 Fremont Street, finding the change would not require extra parking and would conform to site plans submitted.","actionData","errors"]
