Memo to Planning Commission/Elk River Station June 26,2001 Page 6 • A 5,400 square foot daycare is also proposed as part of this complex. The ultimate size of the daycare will be based in part on the number of parking spaces available. Parking and access 60 surface parking spaces and 86 underground spaces are proposed for a total of 146 spaces. The parking requirement for senior housing is one space per unit plus one space for each employee.Parking for the senior housing is adequate.However,the parking for the daycare seems to be deficient. Only 11 spaces are shown for the daycare.The parking requirement for a daycare is 1 space for every 12 children and 1 space for each employee Building elevations As with the commercial buildings,the design of the senior housing building and the daycare will have to be consistent with the approved design standards and will be evaluated when and if Guardian Angels applies for a conditional use permit for the use.
