There was one item on the agenda, in bold below.

This request was to obtain a variance of use and of zoning requirements for the property at 6358 N. College Avenue [E2 on map] to allow for a daycare center, Smart Sprouts Learning & Language Academy.

Smart Sprouts will be a multi-cultural / multi-lingual daycare for around 35 kids between 2 and 5 years old.

After a long discussion, the committee suggested that it would best for the petitioner to submit a site plan and more details on the customer interactions with the site before a vote.

The petitioner agreed to submit these items and the committee agreed to take a vote electronically before the November 18 hearing date downtown.

The next public meeting of the committee is scheduled for Tuesday, November 25, 2025, at 6pm, at Northminster Presbyterian Church.
