Deferred.

Special use permit to allow a daycare general in the R5 district at 4200 North 204th Street, within an MCC major commercial corridor overlay district.

Applicant objected to a staff condition requiring removal of the 204th Street access point due to traffic/safety concerns. Staff changed recommendation to layover to evaluate whether the daycare qualifies as an accessory use (operated by Bethany Christian Academy, an affiliate) that would not require a special use permit. Laid over unanimously.
