Case No.:  ZA 2006-7192(CU)(YV)(PA2) 

6047-6051 North Fulton Avenue [Van Nuys-North Sherman Oaks Planning Area]

Current Phase of the Process:   The entitlement process has been completed.   Zoning Administrator Approval – Letter of Determination (January 26, 2018)

 

Existing Use:  Childcare facility serving up to 82 children, operating between the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. as approved pursuant to Case Nos. ZA 2006-7192(CU)(YV) and No. ZA 2006-7192(CU)(YV)(PA1).

Proposal:   No construction or expansion of the existing child care operation is proposed.  The proposal is to renew the Conditional Use Permit.  (See Letter of Determination, below)

Purpose of City Planning Process:  Approval of Case No. 2006-7192(CU)(YV) included Condition No. 30 for the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to expire on September 1, 2017.  It is typical to impose such condition as security in protecting the area. The condition is in case of an operator’s possible lack of sensitivity to the needs of the community and for consideration of changed conditions in the surrounding area.  The intent is that through this process, the Office of Zoning Administration is able to further the City’s goal to ensure that the establishment does not adversely affect the community.  Upon reviewing the request to renew the CUP, the Zoning Administrator will ensure compliance with the conditions of the prior approval and evaluate if the conditions were successful in protecting the community.
