Savage, MN Zoning Ordinance: Zones to Check Before a Child Care Center Signs a Lease

A child care center needs a space the zoning ordinance allows and that licensing can approve. Before signing a lease in Savage, confirm both: the zoning with the city, and licensing requirements, such as outdoor play space, with the licensing agency.

Getting both answers in writing protects the center and gives a partner what it needs to finance the build-out.

Write down the licensed capacity the space allows and the enrollment the center expects in its first year. A partner compares that enrollment ramp against the lease and the payroll for the staff the rooms require.
