Before acting on an application to establish or expand a child-serving use in the MU-LI or MU-R districts, the applicant shall prepare and submit to the City an appropriate risk analysis or risk assessment, as determined by the City, that evaluates the risk to children in the use from other activities near the site.

All child-serving uses in the MU-LI and MU-R districts must notify in writing, on a form approved by the City, all parents of children in the child-serving use that the use is in the MU-LI or MU-R district, light manufacturing is a permitted activity in the district, and that primary production manufacturing or construction products manufacturing may be permitted uses in adjacent districts. The child-serving use must require each parent or guardian to confirm in writing that they have read and understood this information. Written confirmations shall be returned to the child-serving use and maintained at the use for City review.
