PLANNING STAFF: Approval with Conditions
PLANNING STAFF ANALYSIS: The proposed SLUP (Special Land Use Permit) request seeks to operate a personal care home for 4 residents in the existing residential structure. The application meets the criteria of the zoning ordinance for a personal care home for up to four (4) persons. Located on a minor arterial (Rockbridge Road), there should be little or no impact on traffic. There will be no physical changes to the exterior of the existing single-family residential structure. Therefore the building will be compatible in character with existing and surrounding single-family residences in the area. The proposed use is consistent with 2035 Comprehensive Plan Housing Policies: Increase the availability of special needs housing to meet the growing population; and utilize the zoning code to provide a variety of housing opportunities and choices to better accommodate the needs of residents. The Department of Planning and Sustainability recommends, “Approval with the attached conditions”.
