I will outline the steps which followed the recommendation by the
- Health & Welfare Committee to Council requesting that the Planning & Zoning
Committee prepare by-laws which would allow Day Care Uses in residential areas.
The Planning & Zoning Committee then asked that staff compile all the awilable "
information in regards to this type of facility and present it for discussion ‘ 7 |
at a future Planning & Zoning Committee meeting. On March 39th, 1973 a report |
from the Planning Officer was presented to the Committee which outlined the
various criteria and information available on Community Care Facilities. After
discussion by the Committee, a request for a further report which would outline
the various alternatives to implement Day Care as well as feasible by-laws was
recommended. This report was prepared and submitted at a subsequent meeting

jointly sponsored an open public meeting in regards to these facilities.
