FROM: Demi Engman, Director of Planning and Community Development
SUBJECT: To consider a request for a Specific Use Permit to allow a halfway house within
the RM-H (Residential Multiple Family— High Density) District.
FILE: PZ2024-251
STAFF REPORT
Jerica Landry is requesting approval of a Specific Use Permit to allow a halfway house located at
2225 Wilson Street. She intends to provide housing independent adults offering services and
activities to their clients. The State has required Ms. Landry to receive approval from the City
to allow a halfway house at 2225 Wilson Street. Our ordinances require a halfway house to
obtain a Specific Use Permit.
It should be noted that halfway homes require careful consideration of their location and
surrounding land uses. Some of these considerations include compatibility with other land
uses, noise, and traffic as well as safety considerations. As such, proximity to parks, schools
and residential uses should be carefully considered in review of halfway homes.
This property is located within six (6) blocks, approximately 2,500 feet, of the Jones-Clark
Elementary School, it is within an existing residential neighborhood and in close proximity to
several existing churches.
Staff recommends denial of the request.
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.
