MEMORANDUM

TO: Mamie R. Waffle, Senior Planner
FROM: Jaimee Bourgeois, Senior Civil Engineer (Traffic)
SUBJECT: Parking Reduction for Grayhawk Court (Khan) Daycare
I have reviewed the parking survey that was recently conducted fc r Grayhawk Court (Khan) Daycare.
The review was conducted as part of an overall assessment of parking for Large Family Daycares. The
intent is to determine the amount of time it takes for a guardian to drop off and/or pick up a child for the
Family Daycare residence. With the daycare being open between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 3:30
p.m., a survey was done on Thursday, May 28, 2009 in the morning between 8:30 a.m. and 9:00 a.m.,
12:30 p.m. and 1:00 p.m. and then also in the evening between the hours of 3:30 p.m. and 4:00 p.m.
Grayhawk Court (Khan) Daycare located at 4907 Grayhawk Coult is proposing to have 14 children.
Given the parking requirements, the applicant would need to provide 7 parking spaces. The site
currently has 2 spaces in the garage and 2 in the driveway, which creates the need for a parking
reduction of 3 spaces. There are 3-5 loading spaces in front of the property along the street that would
be available for pick-up and drop-off.
After reviewing the information, it was shown that guardians take of average between 2 and 5 minutes
to drop the child off in the morning and between 2 and 8 minutes to pick them up in the evening. The
drop off and pick up times were staggered and there were not more than 2 cars there at any given time
during pick-up or drop-off periods for the 7 children that were present on the day of the survey. With a
maximum of 14 children, as proposed, the expected maximum number of vehicles present at any given
time would be four. With the cars being located at the residence for such a short period of time, the
staggered pick up and drop off times, and the four loading spaces available off-street and on-street, it
has been determined that sufficient parking will be available for the large family daycare use.
Therefore, it is recommended that Grayhawk Court (Khan) Daycare receive a parking reduction of 3
spaces in conjunction with the Conditional Use Permit PA 09-020.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
