ENGINEERING COMMENTS
Previous Planning Commission records will indicate the
requirements for this parcel. The right-of-way and the
construction of the collector with the appropriate 450 foot
radius and the location of this collector remain an issue
unresolved and are still not shown on plan according to the
Master Street Plan. With construction storm water detention
and other ordinance requirements will need to be addressed.
A grading permit is required prior to construction.
LAND USE ELEMENT
The site is located in the I-430 District. The adopted Plan
recommends Multifamily. There is no land use issue.
TAFF ANALYSIS

undeveloped 7.19± acre tract from "MF -12" Multifamily to

applicant proposes to file a conditional use permit to allow
for the development of a nursing home on the site. The
request is in conformance with the I-430 District Land Use
Plan which recommends Multifamily for the site.
In late 1995, the applicant filed an "0-3" General Office
request for 5± acres at this same location. The stated
purpose was to accommodate the future development of a
nursing home, which is a by -right use in the 0-3 district.
Staff did not support the 0-3 request as it was in conflict
with the Plan. Staff recommended that the applicant rezone
the property to MF -18, which allows nursing homes as a
conditional use. The item was deferred through several
Planning Commission meetings and was ultimately withdrawn by
the applicant on January 30, 1996. There were issues
related to the alignment of Aldersgate Road which the
applicant was unable to resolve at the time.
The site has no access to a public right-of-way. Access to
Aldersgate Road will be dealt with when a plat for this site
and the adjacent property is submitted and approved. A 30
foot wide strip of property which was granted for use as
right-of-way for Aldersgate Road cuts across the northwest
corner of this tract. The applicant will have to dedicate
Master Street Plan required right-of-way for Aldersgate,
which is a collector.
The requested MF -18 zoning conforms to the adopted plan and
is not out of character with the existing zoning and uses in
the area.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the requested MF -18 zoning.
