BACKGROUND
CONTINUED
The site plan indicates building setbacks of twenty-five feet
from the front (north) properly line and a minimum of eight
(8) feet from the rear (south) and side property lines.
Additional site improvements include a retaining wall
located along the north property line, security fencing along
the east property line and the newly configured, eight (8)
foot wide trail starting at the parking lot along Daily drive
before traversing the north property line, veering south
along the east property line, and terminating along the south
property line in the rear of the overall development.

H. ANALYSIS:
The applicant is requesting to rezone 5.04 acers of undeveloped property from
POD/R2 to POD to allow the construction of a new Family Peace Center. The
western portion of the proposed site is part of an existing POD, the eastern portion
is zoned R-2. The proposal also includes the removal of an existing trail system
that will be re-routed around the new development.
The property is undeveloped, and tree covered. Properties surrounding the site
contain a mixture of zoning and uses.
The development will be accessed at the 9000 Block along the east side of Daily
Drive.
The site plans show one -hundred -sixteen (116) parking spaces, including eight (8)
ADA spaces for a total of one -hundred -twenty-four (124) total parking spaces.
Most of the parking spaces are provided along the northern portion of the of the
overall site with additional parking provided on the west side of the proposed
buildings. All parking areas will include newly installed asphalt pavement.
Typically, seventy-six (76) parking spaces, including four (4) ADA parking spaces
are required. Staff feels the parking is sufficient to serve the use. The site plan
shows a newly constructed five (5) foot sidewalk will encompass the entire areas
designated for parking.
The site plan indicates four (4) newly constructed buildings on the site. A one-
story, 4,200 square foot building is in the northeastern portion of the of the site and
a two-story, 29,432 square foot building in the center portion of the site which also
includes the common turf/playground area. The rear portion of the overall
development includes two (2), two-story buildings containing 21,572 square feet
and 20,792 square feet respectively.

FILE NO_: Z-8764-B Cont.
The facility will operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week with a current staff of thirty-
one (31) employees and a maximum of fifty (50) employees at any given time.
The Family Peace Center will receive and disperse donations to victims of
domestic violence, while also providing temporary housing as well as an array of
services:
• Statewide domestic violence 24-hour hotline
Emergency Shelter
• Sexual assault program
• Children's program
• Outreach clients/legal help
• Camp Hope (refuge for children)
■ Advocacy program and support (medical, housing & employment

Staff is supportive of the requested POD to allow construction of the Family Peace
Center including all site improvements. The proposed use for this development is
to alleviate the effects of domestic violence on the women and children in care
through a community effort of city and statewide partnerships. Staff feel that the
creation of the campus will be a benefit for the area. The proposed use will have
a positive impact on the general area and have no adverse impact on the
