In‑home daycare permitted with one‑year review amid neighborhood parking and safety concerns
Summary
The commission granted a use permit for an in‑home daycare to serve up to 12 children, attaching a one‑year review to monitor parking, noise and safety concerns raised by adjacent residents.
An in‑home daycare operator seeking a use permit to care for up to 12 children won approval from the county board on Aug. 5, but the commission required a one‑year review to assess neighborhood impacts.
Applicant Asya Hovhanisyan said she will operate a licensed program for up to 12 children and confirmed she has two caregivers in place, noting: “For 12 kids, the licensing, are required to have 2 caregivers.” Neighbors raised parking, traffic and safety concerns tied to drop‑off and proximity to a shared wall and pool; one neighbor urged locating childcare in a commercial setting when possible.
Commissioner Jones said the county needs more childcare capacity but moved to approve with a one‑year review to verify there are no traffic or noise impacts; the motion passed.
