Care facility zoning update to comply with SB 234
Banning's rules for family daycare homes and residential care facilities were out of step with state law. The fix makes family daycare homes and small care homes permitted by right — no special zoning permit, no business license tax — which should make it easier to open childcare in neighborhoods.
City Seal Misuse Investigation
Banning is investigating someone for putting the official city seal on a flyer without permission. It sounds small, but official branding can make a message look city-approved—especially if it was pushing politics or a business. Bottom line: don’t use the seal unless you’re authorized.
