Mr. Stan Honn Mental Health for Children, Inc. 3995 Marcola Rd. Springfield, OR 97477 Dear Mr. Hann: The Child Center, located at 3995 Marcola Road (Assessor's Map 17 02 20 Tax Lot 700) is a non-conforming use in the M-3 zone in which it ,is located. The Child Center and the M-3 zoning were both in existence on this property before the property was annexed to the City of Springfield in January of 1975. The City of Springfield's Planning, Building, and Fire Marshall's personnel ,are all aware of the Child Center and the City will take no action to close it out as a non-conforming use~ since it is currently operating within all state and local requirements for a day care center. We do encourage you to apply for a zone change to rezone the property to R-l Single Family Residential District with a conditional use permit, as this action, if approved by the Planning Commission and City Council, would remove the non-conforming use status and allow the continued operation of the facility despite any temporary interruption in its operation due to fire, wind storm, etc. for a period of up to six months. The Center would also have to cease operation if more than 50 percent of the building was destroyed by a fire or other natural disaster,' as. ~ong as it remains a non-conforming use. Please contact this office at 726-3759 if there are any questions on this matter. s::;cerelY, ) ~ ~jj..c;~C,/{.,,-v. ~.;\.
