APA PAS #422. Cibulaskis, Ann and Marsha Ritzdorf. Zoning for
Child Care.

Summary

This report is designed to show planners, planning commission
members, and elected officials how they can provide their
community with quality child care while balancing the needs and
desires of other residents. It provides sections on federal
programs and policies, state and local policies and programs, and
discusses how they are being used to improve the provision of
child care. That review includes a look at comprehensive
municipal strategies being employed in cities like Sacramento and
Irvine, California; Seattle; and Toronto. Finally, the report
discusses zoning provisions for child care facilities, beginning
with an overview of local policy statements and definitions and
moving on to the specific provisions for child care homes and
child care centers. The report concludes with a look at exaction
and bonus programs used to encourage the provision of child care
facilities and a discussion of private-sector sponsorship of
child care.
