BACKGROUND
Description of Proposed Project
The proposed project is an application for a Use Permit to operate a large family child care home (LFCC) within 300 feet of an existing permitted large family child care home. City of Sunnyvale Municipal Code Section 19.58.060 requires that a Use Permit be approved by the Planning Commission for establishment of a LFCC home within 300 feet of another. A permitted LFCC home operates within a single-family home within 300 feet of the subject property located at 746 Durshire Way (Attachment 5). The applicant is seeking approval of a Use Permit for waiver of the 300-foot separation requirement.
See Attachment 1 for a map of the vicinity and mailing area for notices and Attachment 2 for the Data Table of the project.
