The County amended two Zoning Ordinances in 2025 to facilitate the provision of childcare in Arlington:
- Enable childcare facilities as an allowable use within all zoning districts, including the Special Development District (S-D) zoning district.
- Remove the requirement for family day care homes with 10-12 children to have a use permit.
Learn more on the Zoning Ordinance Amendments Page under the 2025 tab.
