Analysis
This ordinance eliminates the provision allowing the operator of a family day care home located in a 2-family dwelling to live in one dwelling unit and operate the family day care home in the other unit. Under this ordinance, if the operator of a family day care home does not reside in the dwelling unit in which the day care activity is located, the family day care home shall be reclassified as a "day care center".
This ordinance also changes the use classification of day care centers in residential zoning districts from special use to limited use. The limited use standards for day care centers shall be as follows:
1. The day care center shall be an accessory use to an elementary or secondary school, religious assembly, community center, cultural institution or library, shall meet the minimum outdoor play space requirement of s. HFS 46.06(11), Wis. Adm. Code, and shall meet the off-street parking requirement for the existing principal use.
2. A day care center, including a family day care home classified as a day care center because the operator does not live in the dwelling, shall not be permitted in a residential structure in an RS1 to RS6, RT1 to RT3 or RM1 or RM2 district. In all other residential zoning districts, a day care center in a residential structure shall be classified as a special use.
