The child care facility has been in operation since 1994, prior to the establishment of the MX zoning district which now requires special use approval for such facilities. The proposed expansion, encompassing an addition of 900 square feet, is designed to have minimal impact on public infrastructure and the surrounding mixed-use neighborhood.

During the meeting, staff recommended approval of the request, citing the compatibility of the expansion with the existing mixed-use character of the area and the anticipated minimal neighborhood impacts. After a presentation by staff and a period for public comment, which saw no opposition, a motion to approve the request was made, seconded, and passed unanimously by the present members of the Planning Board.

Another item on the agenda was the request by Landmark Investments Inc. to amend a planned unit development ordinance for a 13.58-acre property on Havendale Boulevard. However, the agent for the petitioner requested a continuance of this item, which the Planning Board granted, moving the discussion to the June 4th Planning Commission meeting.

Additionally, the Planning Board discussed organizational matters, including the resignation of Jennifer Fasking, who will continue to serve until a replacement is appointed. The board advertised the vacancy and encouraged qualified city residents to apply.

Looking ahead, the Planning Board addressed the scheduling of a future meeting near the Fourth of July holiday, tentatively moving the date from July 2nd to July 9th, pending formal action at the June meeting. Concerns were also raised about notification procedures for case P-24-22, which was continued to a later meeting. It was noted that a potential error in the notification letter had caused confusion among residents, prompting a discussion on whether to re-notify affected individuals.
