Surrey council OKs 32-child daycare in single-family house; applicant wanted 52
- On May 26, 2025, Surrey council gave the green light to a childcare facility designed to accommodate 32 children, located within a single-family residence at 15010 Ashby Place in Fleetwood.
- The original application requested 52 spaces, but staff recommended 32 due to limited parking and concern about neighborhood impact.
- Residents expressed opposition citing worries about noise, parking congestion, and neighborhood disturbance from high child counts in a residential area.
- Council member Doug Elford opposed the zoning change, warning it places staff in difficult positions and may encourage similar future requests.
- The rezoning allows the childcare use as accessory, addressing urgent community childcare needs but raising concerns over parking policies and neighborhood effects.
