Daycare planned at Saddlewood Commercial Complex
On Wednesday, the Planning and Zoning Commission forwarded to the city council a favorable recommendation for a proposed daycare operation within the 3.22-acre multi-tenant Saddlewood Commercial Complex at 4003-4083 S. Route 59.
Based on preliminary details, the daycare would occupy about 10,615 square feet of space, in addition to 4,980 square feet of outdoor space for a play area.
Saddlewood is situated in an area of the city zoned as a community shopping center district. A conditional-use permit is needed for the daycare facility to move forward, and city planning staff viewed the proposal as a good use for the site.
