The Planner <br />noted that under current ordinance day care centers are allowed as <br />accessory uses in R -1 districts as special home occupations. However, <br />there is a trend toward group day care facilities in commercial areas, <br />and the ordinance does not address this use at this time. <br />Herkenhoff asked if there would be safety concerns with having day <br />care centers in commercial areas. <br />The Planner noted that it is positive to have day care centers in <br />commercial districts and pointed out the traffic these centers can <br />generate. Also, there are State and County regulations that day <br />care centers must meet with regard to fencing and screening. The <br />Planner also pointed out that under the conditional use permit process, <br />the City would have the opportunity to review a proposal and impose <br />whatever requirements it feels necessary to resolve site concerns. <br />Bill Davison recommended approval of the proposed text amendment adding <br />day care centers as conditional uses in B -3 areas as proposed by the <br />City Planner. <br />Page 1 <br />
