Planning Commission Comments
The Commission held a work session to receive staff's presentation, take public comment, and
comment on the following ordinance changes:
1. By right provisions, including a zoning clearance process for Family Day Homes caring
for between 6 and 12 children;
2. Supplemental regulations; and
3. Abutting owner notification only for special exceptions.
The Planning Commission supported staff's recommendation, as noted below, for the allowance
for 6 to 12 children and was particularly appreciative of the fee being dropped from $2,000 to
$50. They asked staff to be careful in the wording as a concern for the neighbors.
The Planning Commission supported staff's recommendation with suggested changes, to move
forward with the public hearing process, and come back with revisions to the draft ordinance to
address and respond to the comments raised by the public and Commissioners, as follows:
• Supported the allowance for 6 to 12 children without a special use permit requirement,
• Appreciative of the fee being dropped from $2,000 to $50,
• The impacts need to be addressed for noise, parking, and particularly for traffic,
• Staff clarified for the Commission that the State Code requires notice to abutting owners
for a Family Day Home permit of 6 -12 children. If there is neighbor objection, the permit
cannot be approved administratively.
• The Commission would like to see this back to the Commission as soon as it is possible.
• The Commission recommended further work on the neighbor notification process and
approval process to avoid confusion if there are scenarios where there are neighbor
objection because of this State Code provision:
• They want to avoid confusion about how public input will be considered.
• Allow for notification to the community, not just abutting landowners, of the
business intending to operate so that everyone has a chance to comment upon it.
• One Commissioner suggested a public notice sign be posted and that it not be the
same color as our public hearing signs but distinctly different to notify all public
and not just adjacent owners.
