Zones where a child care center can go
Biggs's code calls this use “Child care center”. Each row links to the use table it comes from. A zone marked “see note” has a condition in the code, for example upper floors only or a larger lot.
Zones where it is not allowed
M-2.
What else applies
- Child day care, large: U in R-1..R-MU, A in D-MU and C-G; Child day care, small: X in residential zones and A-G, A in D-MU and C-G.
- State law: A licensed family child care home in a house is a residential use under state law (Health and Safety Code § 1597.45); this page covers child care centers only.
- Not covered here: PD Planned Development: uses follow the underlying district (S34), no table; A-M: the agricultural table (Chapter 14.200) has an A-M column, but § 14.230.020 sends A-M to the Industrial Use Table (Chapter 14.350), which has only M-1 and M-2 columns; A-M cells here come from the agricultural table; Chapter 14.20 definitions (e.g. § 14.20.365 emergency shelters) are not in the packet. Overlay zones and specific plans can also change the answer.
