provided for adult day care facilities.

requirement, staff is proposing allowing the applicant to provide a written alternative for meeting recreation
needs for clients. Hogeboom indicated there is currently one licensed facility in the City. This facility does not
meet the outdoor space requirement; however it has been grandfathered in.
