* The applicants are seeking a zoning change on a 2.79-acre property that is currently
developed with a single-family home and accessory structures.
* The proposed future use as limited by the CO is housing for the developmentally
disabled with supportive services.
* The subject property is in a transitional location fronting a four lane divided arterial
roadway that is adjacent to a commercial/office node.
* The applicants are also pursuing a Future Land Use Map (FLUM) amendment under
a separate case number.
* The applicants hosted a neighborhood meeting during the evening of November 3,
2022, to explain the proposal.
* The Local Planning Agency recommended denial of the request (vote 3-2) based on
compatibility concerns with the neighboring residential area. Seven people spoke in
opposition and six letters in opposition and two letters in support have been received.
The primary reasons given for opposition include compatibility concerns, traffic impacts,
drainage, and resident evacuation concerns.
* On November 15, 2022, the applicants submitted a request that the Board of County
Commissioners continue this case and the companion FLUM amendment case to the
scheduled January 31st, 2023, public hearing. The continuance is being requested to
allow the applicant time to attempt to address some neighborhood concerns through
changes to the conditional overlay. The Board must take action and vote on whether or
not to continue the cases as requested.
