STAFF ANALYSI
The issue before the Planning Commission is to grant a
Special Use Permit for a family care facility, which the
ordinance defines as
A facility which provides residence service in a
private residence to 6 or fewer individuals, who are
not related to the resident household. These
individuals are handicapped, aged, disabled, or in need
of adult supervision, and are provided service and
supervision in accordance with their individual needs.
Such facility shall receive a Special Use Permit for
location within "R -1","R-2", and "R-3" Single Family
Districts, and "R-4" Two Family Districts.
Also, Section 36-54 Paragraph a of the Zoning Ordinance,
provides the development criteria for uses requiring Special
Use Permits. For a family care facility, there are five
items listed and they are as follows:
A. This use may be located only in a single family
dwelling.
B. Medical or counseling needs must be provided off-
site.

C. No physical changes in the residence are permitted
which would provide other than sleeping
accommodations.
D. Drives and parking shall not exceed that required
by ordinance for a single family residence.
E. This use shall be permitted to run with a title to
the land and be transferrable. However, the title
holder must occupy the residence as its principal
residence.
The applicant has indicated that no major physical changes
will be made and she is proposing to provide accommodations
for up to five individuals.
The property at 1815 S. Jackson is occupied by a single
family residence and the lot has a width of 90 feet. Both
the dwelling and the lot appear to be of sufficient size to
provide necessary space for the proposed use. 1815 S.
Jackson is zoned "R-311, as are the adjoining lots.
Zoning in the neighborhood is "R-311, "R-411, and 11C-311. Land
use is primarily single family residences. Other uses
include duplexes, a small food store, Franklin School, and
to the north is the Highland Courts area, which can be
classified as a multi -family.
The purpose of a family care facility is to provide a non -
institutional living environment in a residential
neighborhood without disrupting livability of the
surrounding lots. Staff is of the opinion that the
applicant/owner is complying with the provisions and intent
of the Special Use Permit Section, and the family care
facility should not have an impact on the neighborhood.
ENGINEERING COMMENTS:
None reported.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the Special Use Permit for 1815
S. Jackson Street.
