RECOMMENDATION:
Recommended Action
COMMUNITY COUNCIL: Approval.
PLANNING COMMISSION: Full Cycle Deferral.
PLANNING STAFF: Approval with a Condition.
STAFF ANALYSIS: The 2035 Comprehensive Plan recognizes the need for to provide specialized housing for adults in DeKalb County who require 24-hour watchful oversight, as stated in Housing Policy No. 7: “Increase the availability of special needs housing to meet the growing population.” By increasing the capacity of the existing personal care home, albeit by one resident, the proposal implements this policy. Addition of one additional resident client is not expected to change the manner of operation such that it would create adverse impacts upon any adjoining land use. Nor is the proposal expected to increase traffic to levels that would cause congestion in the area. The hours of operation will continue to be the same as those of a typical residence and are not expected to adversely impact adjoining properties. Therefore, the Department of Planning and Sustainability recommends “Approval with one condition”.
