CODE RELATING TO HOME OCCUPATIONS/CHILD DAY CARE
BE IT ENACTED BY THE TOWN COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF AVON,
COLORADO:
Section 1. Amendment. A new Section 17.48.060 is hereby added to the Municipal
Code of the Town of Avon as follows:
17.48.060. Special rules governing special review use permit for home
occupation/child day care home in duplex and multi-family dwelling units
A. The provisions of this section 17.48.060 apply in cases in which a special
review use permit is sought for a licensed child day care home as a home occupation
within a duplex or multi-family dwelling unit where the occupants of such dwelling units
share a common wall.
B. When a special review use permit is sought for a licensed child day care home
as a home occupation within a duplex or multi-family dwelling unit where the occupants
of such dwelling units share a common wall, in addition to the submittal requirements set
forth in section 17.48.030, the applicant shall also submit to the department of
community development the following:
1. In the case of an applicant living in a duplex dwelling unit, the
applicant shall submit the written consent of the owner of the neighboring unit within the
duplex to a licensed child day care home.
2. In the case of an applicant living in a multi-family dwelling unit
(including a condominium), the applicant shall submit the written consent of all the
owners of property which share a common and adjoining wall with the property owned by
the applicant to a licensed child day care home.
C. Once a special review use permit has been granted for a licensed child day care
home as a home occupation within a duplex or multi-family dwelling unit,
notwithstanding section 17.48.020 there shall be no requirement that the special review
use permit is valid only so long as the consent given as provided by subsection B hereof
is maintained. In the event a consent given as provided by subsection B is withdrawn
after a special review use permit has been granted, the Town will review the use and in its
discretion decide whether to continue to permit the use in accordance with the criteria set
forth in section 17.48.040. No special review use permit for a licensed child day care
home as a home occupation issued pursuant to this section will be cancelled by the Town
based solely upon the withdrawal of consent as provided in subsection B hereof, and, in
cases where the consent provided for herein has been withdrawn, no special review use
permit issued pursuant to this section shall be cancelled unless a hearing has been held on
the issue of the cancellation of the use (unless the holder of the special review use permit
waives entitlement to a hearing).

RE: Day Care Ordinance Amendment
DATE: October 16, 2001
Per the instructions given during the October 91h meeting, I have amended the day care
ordinance to provide the following:
"1. In the case of an applicant living in a duplex dwelling unit, the
applicant shall submit the written consent of the owner of the neighboring unit
within the duplex to a licensed child day care home.
2. In the case of an applicant living in a multi-family dwelling unit
(including a condominium), the applicant shall submit the written consent of all
the owners of property which share a common and adjoining wall with the
property owned by the applicant to a licensed child day care home."
MEMORANDUM
TO: Hon. Mayor and Town Council
FROM: Burt Levin, Ruth Borne
RE: Day Care Ordinance
DATE: September 28, 2001
Attached please find a first reader version of an ordinance which adds a new requirement
for approval of a licensed child day care center as a home occupation in duplexes and
multi-family units which share a common driveway.
In cases of a duplex with both units sharing a common'driveway, day care will not be
approved unless the neighboring owner consents to'the application. In cases of multi-
family dwelling units where a common driveway is shared (including condominiums),
consent of the property owners association or condominium association, as the case may
be, is required.
A provision is included that once consent is given to an application and the application is
granted, the neighbor or owners association does not have a continuing veto over the use
as a day care center. If consent is withdrawn, the Town will evaluate the use and in its
discretion decide whether to continue to allow day care or not.
