15a MEMORANDUM DATE: March 17, 2006 TO: Craig Benedict Planning Director FROM: Gwen Harvey Assistant Cou RE: Child Day Care Facilities Zoning Text Amendments Rehabilitative, Group, and Family Care Facilities Zoning Text Amendments The County Manager asked that I facilitate a meeting with Planning staff and Nancy Coston, Social Services Director, and .Iudy Trvitt, OPC Area Director to discuss proposed zoning text amendments before consideration for final adoption. On January 10, the two Directors and I met with Robert Davis, Glen Bowles, and Michael Harvey from Plaruring to review the proposed amendments and raise any questions or concerns about possible impacts/unintended consequences for' human service delivery systems within the county. Both Directors were appreciative of the opportunity tc have a full discussion of the proposed amendments and agreed to take the information back to their staffs most involved in day care or group home operations for further review and comment. Their review would cuhninate in a formal memorandum from each to your Department expressing either general support or an opportunity to reconcile any adverse impacts perceived. Part of the DSS and OPC departmental review would encompass conversations with community parhrers and stakeholders, i.e., Child Care Resources, Inc., Smart Start, Partnerslip to End Homelessness, Cluysalis Foundation and others. Nancy Coston has submitted her departmental response on child day Gaze facilities (copy attached). Judy Truitt should also respond on rehabilitative, group, and family care facilities in sufficient time for your Department to schedule appropriate action. However, at the January meeting she did shaze a letter to the Mayor of Cazrboro when the Town was reviewing its existing group home ordinance in 2005, by way of background (copy attached.) If additional information is required, please advise. Cc: Iohn Link, County Manager Nancy Coston, DSS .Iudy Truitt, OPC Attaclunents
