Mayor Birdsall expressed concern that this would limit the ability of a business to
provide on-site child care. Senior Planner Hogan explained this does not deal with child
care facilities operated by a business for its own employees. He explained this targets
child care facilities in industrial areas, and this ordinance would not allow them to
expand. Community Development Director Gary Thornhill explained that most of these
facilities are currently looking for alternative sites.

of uses in an industrial area, additional reporting requirements are necessary for AQMD,
making the Business Park less attractive to future businesses.
