COMMUNITY CARE FACILITIES FOR CHILDREN 1" REsrpDeNTraL arras JUN 18 1973

I will outline the steps which follewed 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
at a future Planning & Zoning Committee meeting. On March 30th, 1973 a report
from the Planning Officer was presented to the Comittee which outlined the
various criteria and information available on Community Care Facilities. After
discussion by the Comittee, 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
and recommended the following:

1. Solicit submissions by various interested groups prior to the

adoption of recommendations three and four.

2. The Planning & Zoning Committee and Health & Welfare Commi. ttee
jointly sponsored an open public meeting in regards to these facilities.

3. Permit the establishment of Preschool Group Services, Kinder-—
gartens and Nurseries in the P-2 zone with regulations that would enhance the
use.

4. The Zoning By-law should be revised in the RS-1, RM-1, RM~2
zones to permit Day Care FAcilities for Group Day Care up to 8 children, Child
Minding Services up to & children, Family Day Care up to 5 children and the
keeping of not more than 5 Foster Children in a dwalling unit. This revision
would be achieved in a similar manner as the Personal Care Use that is now

permitted in the residential zones.
