Conditional Use Permit No. 0045-25

Manitas de Amor has submitted a request to amend Conditional Use Permit No. 0045-25 to expand their existing daycare facility in Hanford, California, by adding a 3,190-square-foot structure to accommodate up to 40 infants and toddlers aged six to thirty-six months and an additional ten children with limited disabilities. The proposed expansion is planned for a site zoned R-L-5 Low Density Residential, requiring special approval due to the nature of the use in a residential area. The amendment seeks to increase capacity and provide specialized services for children with developmental needs, reflecting a commitment to inclusive early childhood care. The City of Hanford is overseeing the review process, with Associate Planner Mark Manha serving as the primary point of contact and Principal Architect Marvin Armstrong providing design oversight. The request was formally posted on June 24, 2026, and is being evaluated under the city’s land use and conditional use permitting procedures.
