Case Notes
− +Staff Recommendation
DENY the request for expansion of the child day care center at this location.The site is located on a local street and is surrounded by single family dwellings. Staff practice has been to allow day care centers with up to 12 children when the site is located in the midst of a single family neighborhood. It is our feeling that day care centers with a large number of children can be intrusive in a neighborhood setting. These larger day care facilities are businesses which should seek locations along the edges of neighborhoods on collector or arterial streets.
