Background: The proposed request is to remain an R-2 zone with special exception. The Tucson Baptist Church is proposing to add 30 to 100 children with plans on expanding their childcare facility center to provide adequate room for infants and children. The Tucson Baptist Church is on approximately 5.3 acres and is zoned R-2. It is located at 1525 South Columbus Blvd and is approximately 1000 feet south of 22nd Street. The existing religious & childcare facility is ADHS Certified/Licensed.
The City of Tucson Planning and Development Services Department letter dated September 8, 2016 identifies the expansion of a childcare care center that will include a new infant child care center and is allowed as a special exception use in the R-2 zone subject to performance criteria. The proposed 1,376 square feet expansion will bring the total existing area to 29,876 square feet. The maximum proposed building height is 12 feet. The proposed expansion and development of the site will include access from Columbus Boulevard identified as a collector street by the Major Streets and Routes Map. The proposed special exception will be evaluated based on Plan Tucson Area policies. The site is on Columbus Boulevard and approximately 1000 feet south of 22nd Street.

Surrounding Land Uses and Zones: The overall special exception site is located adjacent to Naylor Middle School, a Tucson School District No 1. The surrounding land use and zone to the east is C-1 and is developed with a private charter school. To the northeast is C-2 which is undeveloped property and is owned by auto dealership which fronts 22nd Street. To the south & southwest is zoned R-1 and developed with Naylor Middle School Tucson School District No 1. To the north is O-3 undeveloped land. The northwest is C-2, developed with an auto dealership which fronts 22nd Street. The zone to the west across Columbus Boulevard is R-3 developed with high density multi-family residential development.
