At the present time, day care centers and group nurseries are allowed <br /> in the R-1,R-2,R-3,R-4,R-5 and R-O districts. The proposal would allow day care centers and <br /> group nurseries in the B-1,B-2,B-3,B-4 and I-1 districts with approval of a conditional use <br /> permit. The ordinance as proposed at that time would have included criteria for review of the <br /> conditional use permit which were the same as are now applied in the residential districts. These <br /> criteria are: <br /> a. No overnight facilities are provided for the children served. Children are delivered <br /> g <br /> and removed daily. <br /> b. The front yard depth shall be a minimum of thirty five feet(35'). <br /> c. Not less than forty(40) square feet of outside play space per child be provided and <br /> that such space be suitably fences and/or screened in accordance with conditions as <br /> specified by the City Council. <br /> d. Adequate off-street parking and access is provided in compliance with Chapter <br /> 1121 of this Title. <br /> e. Adequate off-street loading and service entrances are provided in compliance with <br /> Chapter 1122 of this Title. <br /> f. The site and related parking and service entrances shall be served by an arterial or <br /> collector street of sufficient capacity to accommodate the traffic which will be <br /> generated. <br /> g. All signing and informational or visual communication devices shall be in <br /> compliance with the Mounds View Sign Code. <br /> Two issues were of concern to City Council: <br /> • If day care centers are placed in business and industrial districts, it is possible that they will <br /> be located next to streets which carry higher volumes of traffic,and children will be <br /> subjected to higher levels of exhaust fumes. The question was asked whether a criteria <br /> • should be added which would address this possibility. <br /> • The question was asked whether there should be a distance requirement between day care <br />
