Canton Daycare Center Conditional Use (26-0229)
At a glance
- What: conditional use for a daycare center for up to 130 children in a large former retail building in an R8 district in Canton.
- Where it stands: approved Oct 21, 2026, subject to final site plan review committee approval. A written resolution follows in several weeks.
The proposal
- About 10,000 of roughly 14,000 square feet; a medical clinic stays in the rest. Ages 6 months to preschool, 6:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., five days a week, with a 5,000 square foot outdoor play area (up to about 30 to 65 children out at a time; the captions vary).
- Two entrances and full circulation in the on-site lot for drop-off and pick-up.
Concerns and conditions
- One letter of opposition (no address) raised traffic, drop-off, noise and neighborhood character; nobody spoke against it at the hearing.
- Justin Williams asked that the fence stay at or under 6 feet or return for a variance.
- Justin Walker recommended approval subject to site plan review committee approval.
