Absent: Commissioner Dunaway. <br /> Case #3: Public Hearing — Consider Ordinance to Amend City Code Section 117 -114 <br /> Related to Assisted Living and Memory Care Facilities <br /> Public Hearing <br /> Chairperson Levine called the public hearing to order at 7:56 p.m. <br /> Presentation <br /> Senior Planner Gladhill presented the Staff Report. <br /> Citizen Input <br /> None. <br /> Chairperson Levine closed the public hearing at 8:00 p.m. <br /> Commission Business <br /> Commissioner Bauer stated he is more comfortable with rezoning this to R -3 district rather than <br /> changing the business district; there is an apartment across the street so it is close to the R -3 <br /> district. <br /> Senior Planner Gladhill stated there are two business district designations in the city and that <br /> there are employees coming to the site. There are 60 full and part time employees and this is <br /> their place to work creating peak traffic times, so there is that component. There is a commercial <br /> base to it so it is worth having a discussion. <br /> Commissioner Brauer stated he thinks it is easier to deal with other issues such as setbacks, <br /> frontage of the building, and materials as R -3 or variance in R -3. <br /> Senior Planner Gladhill stated that if the Commission goes in the direction of R -3 he highly <br /> encourages direction on unit sizes because what is currently in R -3 does not easily apply to this <br /> area and variances are reserved for specific, unique, physical characteristics of the land. The City <br /> should have some standards for assisted living and he would like to discuss dormitory style or <br /> group corridors in the R -3 District. <br /> Motion by Commissioner Bauer, seconded by Commissioner Brauer to recommend to City <br /> Council that the B -1 District of City Code not be amended. <br /> Motion Carried.
