Annapolis Planning Commission backs childcare ordinance with amendments
Summary
The Planning Commission voted to recommend approval of draft ordinance O125 to align city code with updated state childcare regulations, including allowing larger in‑home childcare operations and removing off‑street parking requirements for certain facilities.
The Planning Commission of the City of Annapolis unanimously voted to recommend approval of draft ordinance O125, a zoning amendment to align the city code with recent Maryland childcare regulations and to expand certain childcare options.
The commission recommended adoption of O125 including two amendments: (1) amend in‑home family childcare to allow operations serving up to 12 children consistent with state rules, and (2) eliminate city off‑street parking requirements for childcare facilities in certain contexts. Commission members also approved a correction to the ordinance language addressing the Chesapeake Bay critical area so that only in‑home childcare in existing residential structures would be allowed in the resource conservation area.
