From the transcript
As for traffic, the daycare traffic was only morning drop-off and afternoon pickup. It wasn't, uh, 24/7, 365, multiple vehicles parked on-site and in the street, as you can see in the photos in the packet. The planner justifies approval by stating that there are other short-term rentals in the subdivision, but doesn't identify them. To our knowledge, there are no other legal short-term rentals in the subdivision. Prior illegal use should not be used as precedent to approve this CUP.
