Commission permits in‑home daycare in Spring Creek, allows up to 12 children
Summary
The commission approved CUP25-006 for Kayla Hannah and Michael Tinsley to operate a preschool/daycare in Spring Creek, modifying the staff condition to allow up to 12 children at one time (the in‑home maximum noted by the applicant).
The Oakland County Planning Commission approved Application CUP25-006, allowing Kayla Hannah and Michael Tinsley to operate a preschool/daycare in a Spring Creek agricultural residential district. Staff recommended approval with conditions including compliance with Nevada revised statutes and verification that the existing septic system can handle the increased use. Staff also reported the Spring Creek Association had submitted a letter approving the application.
Commissioners asked clarifying questions about capacity and licensing. When asked whether "10 students" meant total or concurrently present, the applicant said "10 students at 1 time." The applicant also noted there is a possibility the state may allow up to 12 students for in‑home preschools: "There is a possibility that it might go to 12. 12 is the maximum for in home preschool," she said. Staff and commissioners agreed to modify the staff condition to allow up to 12 students; Commissioner Naomi moved to approve the permit with the modification and the motion carried after a second and vocal assent.
The permit includes standard conditions: compliance with Nevada revised statutes and Elko County code at time of development, notifying state health to confirm septic capacity, and reevaluation if property ownership changes. The applicant and staff were advised to ensure state licensing requirements are met.
