i <br /> 19 <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> DATE: 5/13/03 MEETING DATE: 5/20/03 <br /> TO: Chair Melsha & Planning Commission Members <br /> FROM: Susan M.H. Hall, Assistant City Manager <br /> SUBJECT: Adult Day Care <br /> Overview: <br /> For the last couple of months, Planning Commissioners have been discussing the adult <br /> day care use request. Last month, Commissioners agreed to recommend the use as a <br /> conditional use permit in the Commercial zoning district. On May 20, 2003, the Planning <br /> Commission will hold a public hearing amending Section 1635.03 of the zoning code to <br /> allow adult day care centers as conditional uses in the Commercial zoning district. <br /> The City Attorney's office has reviewed the statutes and state rule regulating adult day <br /> care centers. The Minnesota Department of Human Services licenses such centers. The <br /> state rules establish a number of regulations governing adult day care centers to protect <br /> the safety and welfare of program participants. In addition, it is for the <br /> City to pass an ordinance regulating adult day care centers as state law sufficiently <br /> covers the area. Thus, in the proposed ordinance, adult day care centers are limited to <br /> those centers that are licensed under state laws and rules. <br /> Requested Action: <br /> Staff recommends that the Planning Commission take public comment on the zoning <br /> amendment and then refer it onto the City Council as recommended action. The <br /> recommendation will be considered by the City Council on May 27. <br />
