Public Hearing
Special Use Permit Request (S18 -05) - Request by Rhonda S. Williams on Behalf of the Property
Owner, Delores Ann Flowers, for a Special Use Permit to Operate a Child Care Center Within an
Existing Single - Family Dwelling Located at 4734 Gordon Road
BRIEF SUMMARY:
Rhonda S. Williams is requesting a special use permit in order to operate a "child care center" within an
existing single - family dwelling located at 4734 Gordon Road. A "family care home" is currently in operation
at the dwelling (Rhonda's Precious GEMS).
The Zoning Ordinance currently classifies child care facilities as two separate uses: child care centers and
family child care homes. The primary distinction between the two uses is the number of children allowed to
be cared for. A family care home may care for up to eight children (maximum of two preschool -age
children) and is typically located within a residence. A child care center may care for more children and is
usually located in a more commercially- oriented facility, although they may also locate within a residence
provided they do not care for more than 12 -15 children, depending on age (per state requirements).
This application would allow for the existing child care operation to expand from caring for a maximum of 8
children to a maximum of 12 children.
The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (NC DHHS) regulates these facilities and
imposes additional standards that address a variety of safety and health related issues. In addition to obtaining
the SUP, the applicant must also obtain approval from NC DHHS prior to operating the child care center.
Access is provided to the subject property from Gordon Road from an existing driveway. The proposed child
care center is expected to generate 18 trips in the AM and PM peak hours.According to NCDOT, trip
generation for day centers should be based on the square footage of the center. The above trip
generation reflects the approximate total square footage of the existing home, although only a portion
is used for the child care operation. No increase in the size of the home is proposed. Staff does not
anticipate this request would have a substantial traffic impact because if the proposed SUP is
approved, it would allow only four additional children to be cared for at the center.
The 2016 Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property as Urban Mixed Use, the intent of which is to
provide a mix of residential, office, and retail uses at higher densities. The proposed child care center is
generally CONSISTENT with the types of commercial uses encouraged in the Urban Mixed Use place type.
The Planning Board considered this application at their December 6, 2018 meeting. Three people spoke in
favor of the request, stating that the child care operation is providing a needed service to the surrounding
community.
Board of Commissioners - January 7, 2019
ITEM: 4
The Planning Board recommended approval (6 -0) of the application with the following condition:
1. The child care center shall care for a maximum of 12 children at any one time.

Apartments & NCDOT
A TIA for this development was originally approved in 2014 with a build out date of 2015. Due
to adjacent developments being constructed and approved in the surrounding area prior to the
construction of this project, the WMPO determined that a new TIA was necessary to reflect the
change in conditions.
The previous TIA required the site driveway on Gordon Road to be designed with one ingress
and two egress lanes, and with a 150 -foot internal protective stem. The TIA also required right -
of -way dedication along Gordon Road.
In addition to the above mentioned improvements at the site driveway, the current TIA under

3. The use will not substantially injure the value of adjoining or abutting property, or that the use is a public
necessity.
Considerations:
• The relationship of the proposed use and the character of development to surrounding uses and
development, including possible conflicts between them and how these conflicts will be resolved (i.e. buffers,
hours of operation, etc)
• Whether the proposed development is so necessary to the public health, safety, and general welfare of
the community or County as a whole as to justify it regardless of its impact on the value of adjoining
property
have been in operation since May of 2015 and licensed in July of that same year and there has
been no substantial damage or conflict to adjoining properties. I care for neighbors children 2 blocks
down the street and surrounding neighborhood. They have told me how convenient It is for them being
so close. My immediate neighbor,, facing the house on my right side, he and his wife have expressed -__
how grateful they are to have me and the children their.
Increasing from a Family Childcare. Home to a Childcare_ Center, will not change the outside structure _.._
in anyway. Due to the fencing of the property it provides privacy and safe outdoor play.
There is no knowledge or, any evidence that this proposal to have a center would ,decrease the value
of residents that live nearby nor the value of this property.
4. The location and character of the use if developed according to the plan as submitted and approved will
be in harmony with the area in which it is to be located and in general conformity with the New Hanover
County Comprehensive Land Use Plan.
Considerations:
• The relationship of the proposed use and the character of development to surrounding uses and
development, including possible conflicts between them and how these conflicts will be resolved (i.e. buffers,
hours of operation, etc)
• Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan's goals, objectives for the various planning areas, its definitions
of the various land use classifications and activity centers, and its locational standards
Rhonda's Precious GEMS provides service to the community, not just those who are able to pay
privately but also to those who are being helped by the Department of Social Services. Many
providers choose not to take vouchers from DSS, do transportation nor stay open late to
accommodate the community, and I service all three needs.
POlicy5.7 of the County's Land use plan states, "preserve the character of the areas existing residential-
neighbors and quality of life,'there.will be no.new structure on the outside of the property for the
child care center. The play area sits back off the street neat and fenced in.
Parkwood Park is right off Gordon Road and. Smith Creek Park is 0.7 mile away. It also offers a
readers trail /storybook for the children which is very educational.
I chose this neighborhood, this house for two reason: (1) l love how the house is designed and (2) the
seclusion and space it has to have. a day care. It allows for a „mixture of uses.

To whom this may concern.
I have been at Rhonda Precious Gems for almost 2 years now. My two children are currently going there and she has been
getting them to and from school while I work 12 hour shifts. This year my nieces was placed in my home and I had to find a
childcare provider so I took her to Rhonda Precious Gems . Now that she is considered school age I switched her to a Pre -K
program. The biggest mistakes I could have ever done in my situation. However the current school program has not been
working out with my schedule and now I have to pay for day - to-day childcare for her due to Ms. Rhonda not being able to take
her in. I am currently an employee New Hanover Regional Medical Center and most childcare providers are not the working
parents best friend especially for healthcare providers. So Ms. Rhonda has open that door for many opportunities for me. I
am able to attend work without wondering who is going to pick my child up by a certain time and all other issues that stress
parents about when their child is not in a place of consistency. I have been through a lot of childcare providers and struggled
to get my child's needs met. On a normal working day I get home about 830pm. Homework is not done nor has my children
been fed which has caused me to change providers many times. When I get home I am not focused on doing homework but
my own and when a child care provider tells me all the things they can provide when I tour their facility, I expect them to be
done. Going to Ms. Ronda's there's not a day that goes by that my child's needs are not being met, I don't have to worry about
homework, I don't have to worry about them not being fed. All I have to do is check how their day went, give them a bath and
prepare them for the next day to do it all over again. Ms. Rhonda is a very nice person and iVs sad to see when she has to
turn down a parent because she doesn't have the space for their child no matter how much she wants to help. I don't know
about other parents but she is my saving grace, as a single parent and a college student she has been there for me more
ways than I can imagine. Ms Rhonda has given me hope and most importantly guidance that life is not easy but don't give up.
My words cannot express how grateful 1 am for her neither does this letter. If you allow her to expand her numbers I believe
she can help a lot more people in the community. Lets take today for example I have to miss showing up today because t a
had to stay over from work. In the medial profession we never know when an emergency situation may arise. Granting her the
opportunity to transform into a center will give her opportunities to help other families like me. I wish our community had a lot
more providers like her. I always have to remind my self to share my babies. They remind on my days off that Ms. Rhonda
can take them to the bus stop and pick them up. Lord knows 1 wish they could go there all their life. If you need any other
infomnation from my about this Wonderful, God sent person who I am honored to call my childcare provider please feel free to
contact me at 910 - 508 -7930.
Thanks and have a Blessed day
