Ms Ekas replied that it didn't seem to make much difference in the residential, but there are childcare centers mixed in with employment areas. Commissioner Radcliffe noted the center in Redwood Shores. Ms. Ekas pointed out the centers in the Redwood Shores area and also noted the potential for a center to be located in a few other locations. She stated that the office park environment is what was intended for focus. Chair Borgens asked what if, in a few years after everything has been established, someone asks to put in a childcare center or a school. She asked that they can't because of what is around. Mrs. Stevenson talked about state laws being formed regarding the location of dispensaries within a certain radius of other uses. She noted that there was not a state statute. Chair Borgens noted that there may not be a state statute but the city could implement a statute. She asked that once a zoning area is established, the criteria of its location could be written. Ms. Skousen stated there are similar prohibitions on establishments that sell alcohol in terms of how close they can be to schools. She noted that if the alcohol establishment is already there and a daycare center or school moves next to them, case law says the alcohol establishment does not have to move. Commissioner Bondonno asked if the sunset clause were included the ordinance and zoning could be reevaluated at any time before the sunset clause came due. Ms. Ekas noted that the zoning code could be amended at any time, initiated by city council, staff, or planning commission. The sunset clause could be amended. Commissioner Bondonno asked if there were not a sunset clause that the same procedures could be in place and at any point before or after, regardless of date and time, it could all be amended.
