From time to time, staff recommends updating the zoning code (Chapter 26) as it relates to best practices, lessons learned from peer cities or previous code changes, updated policies and processes, to correct errors, to clarify code language, and as a result of long-range plan adoption. In this case, staff has identified a major gap in the City’s allowance for childcare facilities in commercial zones and in some nonresidential contexts in residential zones. Further, some definitions in the zoning code do not align with state regulations, which introduces confusion into the process.
