Bexley board permits home childcare at 2391 Mound Street with traffic and capacity conditions
Summary
The board approved a conditional‑use permit for a licensed home childcare at 2391 Mound Street, conditioned on staggered pick‑up/drop‑off times and a limit of no more than 12 children at a time; staff will coordinate necessary fire/code inspections.
The Bexley Board of Zoning and Planning voted to grant a conditional‑use permit allowing a licensed home childcare (type A) at 2391 Mound Street.
Applicant Danita (Miss/Danita) Smith explained she currently operates a licensed childcare elsewhere and wants to transition a smaller, licensed home program with 7–12 children and hours roughly 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Board members focused on neighborhood impacts — especially drop‑off/pick‑up traffic and outside play noise given proximity to the university athletic field. Smith and staff described a plan for staggered drop‑off/pick‑up times, fenced outdoor play, and compliance with state licensing and local inspections (including a required fire inspection). The board conditioned approval on staggered times and a cap of 12 children (the state maximum for the type), and instructed staff to coordinate any fire or code reviews.
The motion passed by roll call.
