Mitchell planning commission approves conditional use permit for Amanda Nava’s family daycare at 516 W. 10th Ave.

The City of Mitchell Planning Commission approved a conditional use permit for a family residential day care operated by Amanda Nava at 516 West Tenth Avenue, a property zoned R-2 single-family residential district. The commission approved the permit with the three standard conditions attached to similar daycare approvals; the motion carried by voice vote (tally not specified in the meeting record).

Planning staff member Mark told the commission that notices were mailed to neighbors, the item was published in the paper and a sign posted on the property. Mark said one written response supporting the application was included in the meeting packet and three additional supportive responses were received but not included in the packet. He said Nava previously had a daycare in 2019, has resumed operations and has already passed the required fire inspection.

Mark explained the three standard conditions are not transferable: if the daycare ceases operation for six months the applicant would need to apply for a new permit. He asked if the commission had questions; there were none. A commissioner moved to approve the conditional use permit with the three conditions and a second followed. The commission voted in favor by voice and the chair said, “Motion carries.” The meeting record does not specify individual vote counts.

The approval allows Nava to operate a family residential day care at the listed address under the R-2 zoning designation subject to the stated conditions. The commission did not add or alter the standard conditions during the hearing, and no members of the public spoke against the permit during the meeting.
