r FEB 16 1983 TO: The Honorable Numbers DATE: February 8, 1983 FILE: of the Board of County Commissioners SUBJECT: ALLCWDMCM';SC'1N ' IN A, AGRICULTURAL DISTRICT• FROM: Patrick Bruce King, AICD REFERENCES: Com rdty Development Division niZn= It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their regular meeting, February 16, 1983. On January 13, 1983 the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the proposed amendment to allow day care centers in Agricultural Dis- tricts. Staff has reviewed the feasibility of allowing Child Care Centers in A, Agricultural Districts. Child Care Centers are presently allowed in R-2, Multiple Family District as a permitted use and in B-1, Planned Business District, also as a permitted use. ALTERNATIVES AMID ANALYSIS: The purpose and intent of the Agricultural District is primarily ..."to provide and protect large areas for agricultural land use and activities within which other than agricultural uses will be kept to a minimum, and/or accessory to the agricultural use". The intent of the Ordinance is to Protect agricultural uses from encroachment of inccnpatible urban land uses, as well as insure protection and compatibility of other uses which are permitted within the District. Staff feels that Child Care Centers are compatible with the 24 uses which are presently allowed in the Agricultural District. However, it is felt that Child Care Centers should be allowed as a special exception use and appropriate performance standards should be required. PIVDAW, ;m Based on the foregoing discussion, staff recommends adoption of the attached Amendnt to the Zoning Ordinance. Chairman Bird opened the Public Hearing and asked if anyone wished to be heard. No one came forth to be heard. ON MOTION MADE by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Commissioner Lyons, the Board unanimously closed the Public Hearing. 22 � � r
