DA,Y CAR.E ZONING TERT AMLNDMENT a�AN 2 E� �I98A
SU?IIiARY
i-is-ss CITY CLERK �
The Saint Paul Planning Commission is propos�ng several day care-related
amendments to the city's zoning code. First, they recommend that the day care
definitions used in the zoning ordinance meet those established in current
state licensing rules. The current city zoning day care definitions are based
on outdated state licensing requirements. Second, they recommend that the
city allow day care centers to be established in light industrial areas.
Under the proposed new definitions, a family day care program would be one
which provides care for not more than te�n children at one time �this compares
to s x children allowed under the existing definition); a group family �ay
care program would be one which provides care for between ten and fonrteen
children at one time (this compares to between six and t� children allowed
� under the existing definition) ; a�d a group day care program would be one
! which provides care for more than si,�t children at one time and is Iicensed by
� the state as a group day care center (this compares to the current definition
, of day care center as any program with more than ten children};
� The other recommended change to the code is that group day care centers be
i permitted uses in I-1 (light industrial) Distxicts (day care centers are now
� prohibited in these districts) . The rationale for this recommendation is
� �hat uses permitted in I-1 zones would not be any more detrimental to a day
care centar program than uses permitted in B-3 through B-5 (general and
� dow-ntown commercial districts) zones, where day care centers are now
permitted.
i
� Further information on this proposal can be obtained from Planning staff

Re: Day Care Zoning Text Amendment
Dear President Drew and Members of the City Council:
I am pleased to transmit to you proposed day care-related amendments to the
zoning ordinance. This spring the Planning Commission conducted a 40-acre
study to review and revise the provisions for day care in the zoning code as
recommended by the Saint Paul Child Care Task Force. They held a public
hearing on the study on July lOth, and received favorable testimony. The
Planning Commission resolution recommending approval of the amendments and the
40-acre study report are attached.
The main thrust of the recommended revisions is to change the definitions of
family day care, group family day care, and day care center programs in our
zoning code to match the definitions in state licensing ru�es. The zoning
code revisions would also allow day care cente,rs as a principal use in light
industrial areas of the city. Currently, day care centers in light industrial
areas are only permitted as accessory uses.
I strongly support these revisions as a means of making it easier for day care
providers to establish their programs in Saint Paul. I urge you to adopt
these amendments as recommended by the Planning Commission.
If you have any questions on the proposed amendments, please do not hesitate
to contact Peggy Lexau of the Planning Division staff at extension 3230.
Very truly yours,
George Latimer
Mayor

DAY CARE ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT
Adopted by the Planning Commission on August 14, 1987
I. INTRODUCTION
The Saint Paul Planning Commission is proposing several amendments to the city's
zoning ordinance based on recommendations from the Saint Paul Child Care Task
Force. The Task Force, formed by the Planning Commission in 1985 at the request
of the City Council, assessed child care needs and made recommendations on how
city resources and services could improve the provision of child care in the city.
One of their findings was that current day care definitions of in the Zoning Code
are based on outdated licensing requirements, and they recommended that the city
revise the zoning code accordingly. Several other revisions are also required to en-
sure that our treatment of day care in the zoning code is logical and conducive to a
good day care system.
II. PROPOSED DEFINITION REVISIONS
Under Chapter 60, Section 204, the text is proposed to be revised as follows:
(1) Familv Dav Care. A day care program providing care for not more than six
�n children at one time, 3�e��r�ag-�l�o-da�-e�ra�.p�ovfde�.•�_a-nd-�re�per's-owfl

Discusslon
Chan�es in Dav Care Home Definitions. For the two types of day care homes, the
major difference between thc proposed dcfinitions and the existing definitions is
that of size: the new definitions would allow larger day care homes than those al-
lowed in the past. However, since all three types of programs are already permitted
in all residential and business districts (the only exception b�ing day care centers in
R-1 through R-4 districts, which must be housed in churches, schools or similar
facilities), allowing up to four more children per day care home will not bc much
different than what is currently allowed.
The new day care rules have been in effect for several years, so all day care homes
are now licensed according to the new rule. Of approximately 670 day care homes
in the city, 640 (or 9596) are licensed for up to ten children. The remaining 30
homes (or 596) are licensed for between eleven and fourteen children. The proposed
definition changes would simply ensure that we are using the same definitions as
the state and the county in dealing with day care homes.
�hanaes in Dav Care Center Definition As mentioned above, the state rule govern-
ing day care centers has gone unchanged since its adoption in the early 1970's.
However, the way we currently define "group day care center° is closely tied to our
definitions of family day care home and group family day care home: anything
larger than the first two (over ten children) is considered a center. Since we are
recommending that the first two definitions be revised, it is also necessary to revise
our definition of day care center.
Our current definition of "group day care center" has never matched the state
licensing rule definition: we define it as any program with over ten children, while
the state defines it as any program with over six children that is conducted in a
non-owner occupied building.
Our proposed new definition of day care center would correspond with the
philosophy behind the proposed new definitions of day care homes: that is, our
definitions of the different types of day care programs should correspond directly
with those of the state and county to minimize administrative confusion.
III. OTHER PROPOSED REVISIONS
A. Under Chapter 60, Section 422 (Principal uses permitted in an RT-1 Two-
Family Residential District):
(3) �r��#'-a�-da�-ea�e and group day care.
Discussion
The reason for deleting the phrase as shown above is that "group family day care" is
already permitted in paragraph (1), which permits all principal uses permitted in the
R-1 through R-4 residential districts.

B. Under Chapter 60, Section 612 (Principal uses permitted in an I-1 Industrial
District):
(1) All principal uses permitted in the B-3 Business District except family
day care, �i group family day care,ead-gfe�p-��y�-e�ra. --
and;
under Chapter 60, Section 614 (Principal uses permitted subject to special
conditions in I-I Industrial District):

oi�a��s���ffiit��d-i�-��re-E�i�3�f�o�
Discussion
Group day care centers are currently prohibited in I-1 and I-2 districts, except if
they are accessory to principal uses permitted in the district. This revision would
permit group day care centers to be established as a principal use in I-1 districts.
The rationale behind this revision is that the uses permitted in I-1 zones would not
be any more detrimental to a day care center program than uses permitted in B-3
through B-5 zones, where day care centers are now permitted.
