First, the council approved a site plan for a third La Esperanza preschool/daycare facility.District Two Councilor Jeremy Lenentine spoke in favor of the project. “I got a full tour of their facility and worked with their staff on a couple different events. Incredible facility, great staff, very good with the kids, well run, and you know, I think they do an excellent job. So I want to say that from the get-go, I'm excited about this project,” Lenentine said. The plan was approved for a roughly 16,000-square-foot project just off Arena Drive near the City Center, with capacity for 84 infants/toddlers and 80 preschoolers. The site plans include 47 parking spaces and a drop‑off loop from Arena Drive, a stormwater retention pond, a courtyard with an orchard, play structures and garden plots.Next steps for the site include obtaining building permits, inspections and traffic impact reports.The other childcare project approved was a site plan for a daycare facility on a special-use lot near the intersection of Southern Boulevard and Golf Course Road.The approved plan now makes the use of this lot as a daycare facility concrete, in addition to the earlier zoning change that made it possible.The unspecified applicant can now proceed to build and operate a daycare on that land in line with the approved site plan. The governing body approved both projects unanimously. This move comes after New Mexico became the first state in the nation to offer no-cost universal child care.</div></body>
