Communication from Malden Planning Board relative to Paper #425/13 (Amending Section 700.3.2 relative to Family Day Care)
Re: C.C.P. #425/2013 Amendment of §700.3.2, Ch.12, Rev. Ord. of 1991 as Amended of City of Malden General Regulations, Permitted Home Occupations, Family Day Care
Dear Councilors:
The Planning Board and City Council Ordinance Committee jointly held a new public hearing on October 8, 2014 regarding the above-referenced proposed amendment. This new public hearing was required, given that the City Council took no action on the petition within the time period prescribed by statute after the first public hearing closed on February 12, 2014.
As a result of yesterday's public hearing, a majority of the Planning Board, namely, all seven members present, voted to recommend to the City Council disapproval of the amendment.
The minutes of the joint public hearing will be made available at your request. For your reference, attached please find the Planning Report & Recommendation dated October 8, 2014, which was presented at the hearing.
Finally, please be advised, that, if the City Council fails to act on the amendment within 90 days after yesterday's public hearing closed, a new duly advertised public hearing must be held. Accordingly, the final date for action is January 6, 2015.
I am available to discuss and answer any questions you may have regarding the amendment and the Planning Board's recommendation. Please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Michelle A. Romero, City Planner
