4. Presentation to Council:

A. Mr. Schultz stated Planning and Zoning Commission and Service Committee approved this item at their meeting in June 2010. He stated this revision to the Code allows day cares as a conditional use in the R-6 District. Mr. Schultz stated R-6 District is the only residential district in the city that does not allow day cares as a conditional use and staff and the city attorney believe this was an oversight when the Code was written. He stated a church located on Church Street would like to have a day care use and they are zoned R-6. Mr. Schultz stated the options were to have the Church do a rezoning or have the City revise the Code and it was determined we would revise the Code. Mr. Schultz stated the residents in the neighborhood were notified of this hearing and he has talked with two individuals and explained this issue. He stated they voiced no objections.

5. Resident Comments/Questions: There were no resident comments or questions.
