Request for Day Care of more than 5 children
1964 Fraser Avenue

RECOMMENDATION:

That this request to operate a day care having more than 5
children not be approved.

COMMENTS:

This application is to operate a day care business having up to
20 children. The operator, home owner, has circulated a
petition requesting support among the neighbours. One
neighbour has expressed concern about impact of the oroposal,

In examining this request the following problems are noted
which has led to a recommendation tor refusing the operation.

1. The operation does not comply with the new Zoning Bylaw
minimum lot size requirements for the RS=! zone. In fact
the property is smaller than the RS-=2 Smal! Lot Residentia!
Zone (old RS=1A zone) which does not permit day care
operations having more than 5 children.

2. This property is smal! 10 metres (33 feet) wide. There
will be limited separation for neighbours. This narrow
width has impact for outside play area and for parking by
parents dropping children off,
