NEW LEGISLATION CLARIFIES THE NUMBER OF CHILDREN ALLOWED IN FAMILY DAY CARE FACILITIES

AB234 (Skinner) expressly states that dwellings, such as condominiums, must be allowed to provide family day care facilities. This includes large family day care (up to 14 children) and small family day care (7-14 children).

The legislation allows the association to apply general rules and restrictions to child care uses. For example, the association may have rules relating to noise, parking and insurance that apply to other property owners, which would also apply to family day care facilities.
