P&Z recommends clean-up of zoning ordinance, rejects proposed changes

The Breckenridge Planning and Zoning recommended to reject the change to the city ordinance regarding whether in-home daycare and schooling should be permitted in R-1 dwelling districts Monday, June 3. But in turn, they recommended cleaning up the language of the ordinance to make it clearer, grandfathered in certain daycares that are already in R-1 districts, and voted to allow home-schooling across all zones.

Currently, the ordinance is written in such a way that prohibits both in-home schooling and daycares in R-1 dwellings. But several people, including a couple of P&Z board meetings, stated the language was confusing and it was hard to tell whether these types of occupations were even prohibited.
