The proposed daycares hours of operation would be from 6am to 6pm and would include weekend care.
The proposed daycare operation would be accessory to the residential use (less than 50% of the floor area of the existing house, will be allocated to the daycare operation).
In accordance with the Abbotsford Zoning Bylaw, if the OCP and rezoning amendments are approved, five parking stalls would be required two for the single detached dwelling and three for the daycare use.
