Commission endorses applicant’s adult day-care plan, sends it to Common Council
Summary
A Wauwatosa City commission unanimously approved an applicant’s proposal for an adult day-care use, with staff noting other licensed adult day-care facilities exist in the city. The proposal will go to the Common Council for final consideration on April 28.
Members of a Wauwatosa City commission voted unanimously to approve an applicant’s request to move forward with an adult day-care use and to forward the item to the Common Council for final consideration on April 28.
City staff said there are other licensed adult day-care facilities in Wauwatosa. "To my knowledge, yeah, there are other adult day care facilities here in the city," a staff member said, noting state licensing exists for such facilities.
The applicant, identified by the chair as Mr. Black, answered commissioners’ questions about the building and operations. Commissioners were told the space had formerly housed a dentist’s office; the applicant said a dentist remains connected to one side of the building while the other side is vacant. On proposed pricing, the applicant said published examples in the application — a day rate of $35 to $65 — were illustrative. "It all depends on that client, what their needs are, and how much you would be working with them 1 on 1," Mr. Black said, adding rates could be higher or lower depending on client needs.
An alder moved approval with the staff recommendations; Commissioner Cohen was recorded as the second. The commission then voted "aye" on the motion, and the chair declared the motion passed unanimously.
The Common Council will receive the item on April 28 for final action. The commission’s approval advances the applicant’s request to the next step in the local review process.
