3. The facility is subject to and complies with all zoning standards otherwise applicable
to other single-family residences; however, the use of a detached, single-family
dwelling for the purposes of a Large Family Day Care use shall not constitute a
change of occupancy for purposes of Title 18 of this code.
4. The facility will comply with all standards relating to fire and life safety applicable to
single-family residences established by the State Fire Marshal contained in Title 24
of the California Code of Regulations as amended from time to time.

Conditions:
1. An outdoor play area which satisfies the requirements of the state, community care
licensing division shall be provided in the rear yard and shall be enclosed by a
natural barrier, wall, solid fence, or other solid structure a minimum of five feet in

the operation of the large family daycare.
3. Required garages are prohibited for use as a family day care home and shall be
utilized for parking two of the applicant's onsite vehicles during the daily operation of
the day care home rather than parking the vehicles on the street or in the driveway.

area for children and shall notify parents of this requirement. Said driveway shall
remain free and clear of parked cars.

possible to the family day care home.
