Title
Work Session on proposed amendment of the zoning ordinance to specify Family Day Home as a permitted use.
Body
The Members of the Board of Zoning Appeals recommend that the Town Council amend the Town's zoning ordinances to specifically give the BZA the authority to grant Conditional Use Permits for child day care (family day home) activities that are not part of nursery or kindergarten school programs. Recent cases involving child day care (family day home) have caused the Members to question the BZA's jurisdiction to issue CUP's for child day care (family day home). Under the current Town ordinance nursery or kindergarten school programs are specifically listed as a use for which the BZA can grant a CUP, but child day care (family day home) is not listed.
