<br />-5- <br /> <br />Discussion <br /> <br />Mr's. Dressler asked if there would be any advantage for the day care center <br />to be in a school. <br /> <br />Ms. Sinna indicated there would be lower rent and janitorial services would be <br />provided. <br /> <br />Mr's. Dressler conmentErl that perhaps the environrrent would be better for the <br />children in a school than in a cormrercial zone. <br /> <br />Mr. Dick Wilcox, owner of the building where Building Block Corporation proposes <br />to have a center, indicated that it would be a mistake to take this kind of a <br />comrercial day care center and place it in a residential zone. He stated that <br />the traffic generated by the center would not fit in the residential area. <br /> <br />Mrs. Dressler cornnented she felt this was a good opportunity to use the school <br />buildings that would be closing. She didn't think it was necessary to permit <br />day care centers in the coomercial zone. <br /> <br />Mrs. Cushing conmented that she would like to speak in favor of the proposed <br />change. She indicated that as transportation becares IrOre critical, having the <br />day care facilities in easily assessible locations is a good idea. She indicated <br />that the Comnission would still have control of the use through the special use <br />permit. <br /> <br />Mr. Rukavina indicated that he had serious questions about introducing the day <br />care use into the B- 2 zoning. He stated he was opposed to the request and he <br />couldn't envision a tinE that it would be appropriate to have day care in the <br />B-2 zone. <br /> <br />Mr'. Dahlgren indicated that this was a policy type of decision as to whether <br />or not day care centers would be permitted in conmercial zones. He stated <br />that his real concern was the children. He granted that it may be IrOre con- <br />venient for the parents to have the center in the camrercial zone but it wasn't <br />the best location for the children. He indicated he was worried that if this <br />change were approved, it would be marginal corrmercial facilities that are used, <br />and questioned whether this was desirable for the children. <br /> <br />Recormendation <br /> <br />Mr'. Rukavina IIDved and Mrs. Dressler seconded, that the Comnission recormend <br />denial of Building Block Nursery School's and Day Care Center's request to <br />anend the zoning ordinance.
