Introduction for first reading of Ordinance No.595,An Ordinance adding day care centers and 7 group nurseries as a Conditional Use in the B-1,B-2,B-3,B-4 and I-1 Zoning Districts. 8 9 MOTION/SECOND: Trude/Quick to remove this item from the Table for discussion. 10 11 VOTE: 5 ayes 0 nays Motion Carried 12 13 Ms. Sheldon noted this ordinance would add day care centers and group nurseries as a Conditional Use in the 14 B-1,B-2,B-3,B-4 and I-1 Zoning Districts. At the present time,the City Ordinance allows for day care 15 centers and group nurseries in the residential district. This would add them to the business and industrial 16 district. She noted that two issues of concern addressed at the February 24th Public Hearing were the higher 17 level of exhaust fumes for children of day care centers located in areas of higher traffic volumes,and whether or 18 not a distance requirement should be established between day care centers/group nurseries and businesses 19 serving liquor,liquor stores and adult establishments. 2011111 21 With respect to vehicle fumes,Ms. Sheldon noted that the City's ordinance does require that day care 22 centers/group nurseries be located on arterial or collector streets rather than local streets(she believes this was 23 to try to keep heavier traffic out of the residential neighborhoods). In talking with the Air Pollution Control 24 District,it was their estimate that with a 200 foot distance between the play area and the traffic/intersection, 25 sufficient disbursal of the fumes would eliminate the hazard. Therefore,it would be Ms. Sheldon's 26 recommendation that a criteria be added to require that the play area be at least 200 feet from the right of way 27 of Highway 10. 28 29 In regard to distance requirements,criteria could be added to state that a 500 foot distance is needed between 30 any day care center/group nursery from establishments have either a liquor license or licenses for adult 31 businesses. Ms. Sheldon noted that the distance requirements could be adopted for just the business and 32 industrial district,or could also be added to the residential districts,with a provision that existing day care 33 centers will not be made non-conforming. She noted that the criteria proposed would not apply to home day 34 care. 35 36 MOTION/SECOND: Trude/Koopmeiners to Approve the Introduction of Ordinance No. 595,An Ordinance 37 adding day care centers and group nurseries as a conditional uses in the B-1,B-2,B-3,B-4 and I-1 zoning 38 districts,Option#2,and to waive the reading. 39 40 ROLL CALL VOTE: 41 42 Mayor McCarty aye 43 Council member Koopmeiners aye 44 Council member Quick aye 45 Council member Trude aye 111111 46 Council member Stigney aye 47 48 Motion Carried(5-0)
