CITY OP SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST POR COUNCIL ACTION
Subject: Large Family Day Care Homes
Mayor and Common Council Meeting of October 19, 1992
BACKGROUND
On June 18, 1992 Planning staff took the issue of large family day
care homes to the Legislative Review Committee for review and
recommendation. The Development Code was not consistent with State
law as far as permitting of these uses. The LRC directed staff to
proceed with an urgency ordinance to permit large family day care
homes subject to locational criteria. The urgency ordinance was
approved by the Mayor and Common Council on July 6, 1992.
The State Health and Safety Code differentiates between large (7-12
children) and small (up to 6 children) family day care homes which
are both different from day care homes. The Health and Safety Code
states that jurisdictions cannot prohibit large family day care
homes on lots zoned for single family dwellings and lists three
nondiscretionary options for permitting them as follows.
1) Permit large family day care homes by right.
2) Grant a nondiscretionary permit if the large family day care
home complies with all local Code requirement pertaining to
spacing and concentration, traffic control, parking and noise
control.
3) Grant a nondiscretionary permit as in the previous, and notify
everyone within 100 feet.
At the direction of LRC, staff prepared an amendment to the
Development Code to permit large family day care homes in single
family residences in residential land use districts with a 500 foot
distance requirement, consistent with the second option.
The 500 foot distance requirement, measured from property line to
property line, may be overly restrictive in some instances where
there is some sort of barrier between the two homes in question.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Mayor and Common Council refer this
matter to the Legislative Review Committee for further review and
recommendation.
