Toddlers work on new curriculum at the Hartley daycare earlier this month.
The new daycare facility would expand capacity to accomodate more children of all ages.
The Hartley Planning and Zoning Commission on Wednesday recommended rezoning a portion of land in the north part of town to accommodate a new daycare.
The rezoning request came from the Hartley Community Daycare Center, which is planning to construct a new facility between North 2nd Avenue W and N 3rd Avenue W, extending from the north boundary of the Terpstra Addition to the north corporate limits. The request was tabled from a previous meeting on Nov. 14.
Daycare officials requested that the zoning classification of the 1.16-acre parcel be changed from A-1 Agricultural District to R-2 Multiple Family Residential District. The commission's unanimous rezoning recommendation came with conditions for roads and utility easements.
The rezoning request will move on to the city council, which will discuss it at its regular meeting on Dec. 9. A full article with more information from Wednesday's planning and zoning meeting will be published in next week's newspaper.
