AB 752 – Allows Child Daycare Facilities in Multifamily Housing

AB 752 provides that, when a daycare center is co-located with multifamily housing, it is considered a residential use of property and a use by right. It further provides that no city, including a charter city, county, or city and county, may impose a charge, tax, or fee for a business license, equivalent instrument, or permit for the privilege of operating such a daycare center. A daycare center co-located with multifamily housing must still comply with all state licensing laws and requirements, as well as the requirements of the California Building Standards Code, the California Fire Code, and other state laws relating to life and fire safety in daycare centers.

(AB 752 adds Section 1597.22 to the Health and Safety Code.)
