This Zoning Code recognizes that the availability of safe and affordable, good-quality child day care is important to the wellbeing of parents and children. Furthermore, it is the purpose of this section to regulate the operation of child day care in a manner that preserves the residential character of neighborhoods. According to Ohio R.C. 5104.054, any Type "B" family day-care home, whether certified or not certified by the County Director of Job and Family Services, shall be considered to be a residential use of property for purposes of zoning and shall be a permitted use in all zoning districts in which residential uses are permitted. Type "B" family day-care homes are a permitted accessory use in residential districts, and do not require a Certificate of Zoning Compliance.
