…body
EXPLANATION: The applicant is seeking approval to allow a Type 2(B) Congregate Living Facility (CLF) for senior housing with a maximum of 21 residents for the proposed Hibiscus Palace located at 13931 Morning Glory. This Type 2(B) CLF is for persons 65 years of age or older. A Conditional Use approval is required for a Type 2 CLF.
At the December 9, 2020 Planning, Zoning and Adjustment Board (PZAB) meeting, the Board received two comments from the public in opposition to the request. The objections were insufficient parking and overall use of the subject property. The CLF will reduce on-site parking needs by requiring staggered arrival and departure time for visitors, prohibiting the residents from having personal vehicles (as required by LDR) in their lease agreement, limiting the number of visitors at any one time, and staff will car-pool as needed. A vehicle will also be available to transport residents to and from scheduled appointments as needed. This CLF complies with the LDR standards for parking spaces and drop-off space as indicated below.
