Pittsburgh Zoning Code Update for Child Care Centers
In March 2024, the Pittsburgh City Council amended the City of Pittsburgh’s zoning code to allow more home-based child care providers to open and operate, thus increasing families’ access to quality child care.
Specifically, the change allowed facilities that care for up to six children in neighborhoods zoned for single-family residential use, as well as accessory structures, to operate without obtaining a special exemption. It also eliminated off-street parking requirements for such facilities.
