RECOMMENDATION:
Recommended Action
COMMUNITY COUNCIL: Approval
PLANNING COMMISSION: Approval with Conditions
PLANNING STAFF: Approval with Conditions
STAFF ANALYSIS: Based on the submitted information, it appears that the application meets the criteria of the zoning ordinance for a Special Land Use Permit for an adult day care facility for up to six (6) persons in an existing single- family residential structure. The proposed adult day care facility is not expected to have a negative impact on the surrounding neighborhood, due to the proposed hours of operation (7:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday), and the limited number of clients. The existing drive can accommodate parking for four (4) vehicles. Located within a Suburban Character area designated by the 2035 Comprehensive Land Use Plan Map, the proposed use is consistent with the following plan strategy: The non-residential development in suburban areas shall be limited to small-scale convenience goods/services to meet the needs of the surrounding residents. The applicable requirements of the R-85 (Residential Medium Lot) District have been met. The Department of Planning and Sustainability recommends, “Approval with Staff’s recommended conditions”.
