She noted that the attachment to the staff report has <br />been amended, based upon the Commission’s discussion at a previous meeting. <br />Commissioner Narum asked Ms. Stern to comment on calling after-school care an office <br />use and whether this would result in any negative, unintended consequences, <br />considering that letters were received from Peter MacDonald and Scott Raty. <br />Ms. Stern replied that Mr. MacDonald and Mr. Raty were asking that child care be <br />allowed in areas where office is allowed. She stated that she was not certain it would <br />be called an office use in the zoning ordinance but that staff would treat it as an office <br />use for the purposes of the zoning ordinance. <br />Mr. Dolan stated that this could be interpreted either way, but the intent is that it be <br />treated as such, which then has implications for location and also for traffic impact fees. <br />PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, September 23, 2009 Page 20 of 34 <br /> <br />
