Planning Commission approves Snugglebug Daycare permit; one commissioner abstains
Summary
Riverton commissioners approved a conditional-use permit allowing Kylie Kennedy to operate Snugglebug Daycare at 3568 West New Private Drive for up to 12 children and 24 vehicle trips; the motion passed with five votes in favor and one abstention.
The Riverton City Planning Commission voted Aug. 14 to approve a conditional-use permit for Snugglebug Daycare, allowing the in-home childcare business at 3568 West New Private Drive to operate for up to 12 children and a maximum of 24 vehicle trips per day.
Lisa (staff) explained the 0.45-acre R2 property meets code requirements because a previously approved nearby daycare never opened and the unit's owner provided written permission for the tenant to operate the business. Lisa said the planned hours are Monday–Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., the applicant plans staggered pick-up and drop-off times to limit traffic impact, and the state license appropriate for 12 children is the family childcare license.
Applicant Kylie Kennedy told the commission she currently serves one family with four children and intends to start with five children including her own. "I think it's, we kind of have an advantage where ours is one of the first houses on the street, so they will pull directly into our driveway," Kennedy said, adding she expects arrivals to use her driveway rather than stop on 3600 West.
Commissioner Clough moved to approve PLC-25-2035 with the conditions listed in the staff report; the motion was seconded on the record by Kylie Kennedy. Commissioner Cannon chose to abstain; the chair recorded five affirmative votes and one abstention and declared the motion passed. Conditions include limiting operations to the house, adhering to the parking plan and staggering arrivals to reduce curbside stops.
