Item No. 2 PC: 11-4-93 UP-93-13 Page 2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION The proposal is to increase from 20 to 28 the number of residents permitted at an existing board and care home. The clients are ambulatory and developmentally disabled. The facility is a 6,000-square-foot, two- story residence with 14 bedrooms and off-street parking for 10 automobiles. Public water and sewage disposal are provided. Drainage is provided on the site. No changes in the site are proposed. STAFF ANALYSIS BACKGROUND: I On October 19, 1989, the Planning Commission approved Use Permit No. UP-89-33 for this facility for 28 residents. Pearl York appealed the Commission's action to the Board of Supervisors. On November 30, 1989, the Board of Supervisors approved UP-89-33 for a maximum of 20 residents. On January 1, 1991, the applicant withdrew a similar application to increase the number of residents from 20 to 28. POLICY CONSIDERATIONS: General Plan and Zoning: The General Plan designation for this site is R/L (Low Density Residential), and the implementing zone is R-L Large group care facilities may be conditionally permitted in the R-L zone with an approved Use Permit. AREA/NEIGHBORHOOD COMPATIBILITY: - Land Use: This site is located in a low density residential neighborhood. Two letters in opposition have been received that raise issues regarding parking, drainage, and a dumpster (Attachment A). Parking: The letters in opposition note that up to 12 cars may be parked in front of the facility an 6th Street, and the parking lot on 5th Street is seldom used. Further, these letters express concern that this facility is a heavy user of emergency services that may be impeded by the parking in front. In response, the applicant has indicated that care facility visitors are aware of the parking lot and that the cars parked in the street are predominantly owned by neighborhood residents and their j guests. The Development Title contains a standard of .33 parking spaces for each bed in a group care facility. The 10 existing parking spaces meet that standard for the 28 clients proposed. The 10 existing parking stalls are located behind the facility and are accessed from 5th Street only. Two concrete pads are located at the front of the facility. These pads are not legal parking spaces
