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. Voting Yes: Chairperson Levine, Commissioners Bauer, Brauer, Field, <br />Schiller, and Van Scoy. Voting No: None.
