Daycare Distance Variance Appeal from Sex Offender Buffer
Summary
The committee considered an appeal over whether a daycare operating for 20 years should be granted a variance from the city's 2,500-foot sex offender buffer rule because it is located 1,980 feet from a registered offender. Supporters highlighted the severe community need for affordable child care and the daycare's spotless 20-year history, while planning staff argued the buffer exists to protect children.
