TITLE
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 4 OF TITLE XVII OF THE PUEBLO
MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO CHILD CARE CENTERS AND PROVIDING
PENALTIES FOR VIOLATION THEREOF
ISSUE
Should the City Council amend Chapter 4 of Title XVII of the Pueblo Municipal Code
relating to Child Care Centers?
RECOMMENDATION
The Planning and Zoning Commission, at their July 13, 2011 Regular Meeting, voted 6-
0 to recommend approval.
BACKGROUND
Currently child care centers are permitted by right in R-5, R-6, B-3 and B-4 Zone
Districts and by review in A-1, A-2, R-1, R-2, R-3, R-4, RCN, B-P and CCN Zone
Districts. The proposed Ordinance will allow the use as a special use permit in the B-1
and B-2 Zone Districts. The B-1, Neighborhood Business District, and B-2, Subregional
Business District, are both commercial districts. The child care center use allows care
for whole or part of the day for nine (9) or more children under the age of sixteen (16)
years who are not related to the owner, operator, or manager. As a condition of
approval for a special use permit for all child care centers, the facility shall be properly
licensed by the State of Colorado and supervised by the appropriate State or County
Agency. Given that the use is permitted in residential zone districts by review, it could
be assumed that they should also be allowed in the B-1 and B-2 Zone Districts, which
are, by comparison, more commercial in nature than the residential zones.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
None.
