Stacey Price proposes nonprofit daycare at Stewart's strip; committee tables zoning question
Summary
At the April 23 meeting, resident Stacey Price proposed relocating a nonprofit daycare to a strip at Stewart's. Committee members raised a zoning question about proximity to a liquor store and tabled the item pending confirmation of applicable separation rules, which a caller said may be a 600-foot state requirement.
Stacey Price proposed moving a childcare operation to a strip at Stewart's, saying the business would operate as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and offer infant, toddler and after-school care.
Committee member Kerry said he did not see an immediate zoning category conflict but raised a question about the daycare's proximity to a liquor store and whether state separation rules apply. To give staff time to confirm the applicable rules, Kerry moved to table the item; Candy seconded and the motion passed.
A caller identified in the transcript as Todd stated that a state code requires a 600-foot separation in this situation. The committee did not resolve the zoning question at the meeting and directed follow-up to confirm whether the proposed location meets state and local separation requirements.
The motion to table and the request for written confirmation of applicable rules mean Price's proposal will return to the committee once staff and legal clarifications are provided.
