FILE: PZ2024-251 STAFF REPORT This item was tabled by default as no quorum was met for the joint public hearing at the Planning Commission meeting held September 16, 2024. 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.
