Florence Planning Commission Reviewed Child Care Code Changes and 37th St Permit; Council Meets Tonight
The Florence Planning Commission met July 14 to review proposed child care code amendments and a resolution tied to a conditional use permit for Tax Lot 1300 37th St, while the City Council and Environmental Management Advisory Committee held sessions earlier this month with no substantive items on their published agendas.
Minutes have not yet been published for any of the three recent meetings, so outcomes — including any votes taken by the Planning Commission — are not yet part of the public record.
Planning Commission: Child Care Code and 37th St Permit
The Planning Commission's July 14 agenda listed two items for consideration:
- **Resolution for Tax Lot 1300 37th St (PC 25 24 CUP 09):** A resolution regarding a conditional use permit for the property identified as Tax Lot 1300 37th St.
- **Child Care Code Amendments (P 26 03 TA 01):** Proposed amendments to the city's child care code.
The agenda indicates the commission was scheduled to review both items. Because minutes are not yet available, the record does not show whether the commission voted, tabled, or continued either item.
