STAFF REPORT
The Planning Manager recommends approval of this request.
Quality Care Services is requesting a specific use permit to allow an
interior design office and caregiver education classes in an existing
structure at 2325 Liberty.
In March, 1998, the City Council approved a specific use permit to
Quality Care Services, Inc. for it administrative offices at this location.
Since that time, Quality Care Services has moved its administrative
offices. With the company=s expansion into other areas of senior
citizen care, it would now like to locate the offices for its Easy Living
Interiors and Personal Assistant School divisions at 2325 Liberty.
Easy Living Interiors is a design firm that will specialize in downsizing,
relocating and designing barrier free interiors, as well as other
residential and commercial design projects. The firm will work with,
but not be limited to, the senior citizen population. There will be one
employee who will typically go out to the client=s residence. Hours of
operation will be from 10 a.m. - 3 p.m.
Personal Assistant School will provide continuing education for
caregivers. The school will employ the same person who handles the
design firm. Hours of operation will be the same as those of the
design firm. At a maximum, there will be 4-5 caregivers attending
class at any one time.
Exhibits are attached.
