Commission approves two in‑home day‑care permits; one approved with parking condition
Summary
The commission approved two home‑occupation conditional uses for in‑home day care operations in Brandon; the Garnet Circle permit was approved with a condition that at least one driveway parking space be reserved for customers to address cul‑de‑sac parking concerns.
The Brandon Planning & Zoning Commission approved two home‑occupation conditional‑use permits for in‑home child care during its April 2 meeting.
At Garnet Circle, an applicant who identified herself as Terara explained she is operating a daycare registered with the state and provides care for children placed by Child Protective Services, including foster children. Commissioners raised concerns about parking on the cul‑de‑sac and asked whether off‑street spaces were available. Staff noted the driveway appears to have three stalls and recommended a condition reserving at least one driveway space for customers. The commission voted to approve the conditional use with that parking condition.
A second applicant, who identified herself as Mary Dibd Doll of 221 North Needles Drive, told the commission she also operates an in‑home child care and had registered with the state; the commission moved and approved that permit without additional conditions.
Commissioners thanked both applicants for providing child‑care options in Brandon. The commission’s approvals included the requirement that the Garnet Circle operator keep at least one off‑street parking space available for customers to reduce potential on‑street congestion on the cul‑de‑sac.
Next step: both operators will receive documentation of approval and staff will proceed with local permit issuance and any required follow up on conditions.
