FILE: 2336-P ___ STAFF REPORT At a Joint Public Hearing held on April 16, 2018, the Planning Commission recommended 7:1 to approve a request for a request for a Specific Use Permit to allow a Residential Substance Abuse Treatment Facility in an RM-H (Residential-Multiple Family Dwelling-Highest Density) District located at 4655 Collier Street with the following conditions: 1. Thirty-two (32) off-street parking spaces will be required including two (2) ADA spaces, one being van accessible. ADA compliant access isle and ramps must also be installed. 2. Structure must be brought up to Fire code per occupancy. (IFC/City Ordinances) At the City Council meeting held April 24, 2018, concerns were expressed that security had not been fully discussed for this item. City Council voted to return the item to the next Planning Commission meeting for further review. At the May 21, 2018 Planning Commission meeting there was much discussion about security and the item was tabled allowing the applicant time to devise a more through security plan. The applicant was asked to provide additional details regarding the program and security. Nothing had been submitted at the time this report was printed. Given this concern, a third condition has been added. Land Manor, Inc. is requesting a Specific Use Permit to allow a residential substance abuse treatment facility at 4655 Collier Street. The applicant states the facility would treat both males or females, but would most likely be occupied by adult or adolescent males. This location would be a 24 hour residential facility where the individuals live on a temporary basis. Several years ago, the property was used as a residential treatment facility, but had been converted to office space for the past 10 plus years. Therefore, a Specific Use Permit was required. The facility will accommodate up to 21 residents. Staff recommends approval with the following conditions: 1. Thirty-two (32) off-street parking spaces will be required including two (2) ADA spaces, one being van accessible. ADA compliant access isle and ramps must also be installed. 2. Structure must be brought up to Fire code per occupancy. (IFC/City Ordinances) 3. Operator must provide adequate security for this facility. Please note that final occupancy approval is subject to review and acceptance of submitted plans and field inspections to verify compliance with applicable codes. Exhibits are attached.
