Planning Commission
The Planning Commission voted unanimously to approve the rezoning and conditional use permit. There were no comments at the public hearing.
Background
The applicant, JEA Senior Living wishes to construct a specialized memory care facility on the southeast corner of Ulysses Street NE and Ulysses Lane NE. The site is currently zoned PBD (Planned Business District) and the applicant is requesting a zoning change to DF (Development Flex) to accommodate the use as a memory care facility. A conditional use permit is also required.
The site must be rezoned to DF (Development Flex) to accommodate the residential nature of the use of the land for a memory care facility. The PBD zoning does not mention memory care facilities and was thus, not an option for a zoning classification for this use. All setbacks and standards will be guided with the conditional use permit and site plan that is being proposed. This use will fit well with other uses in this general area.
It should also be noted that the applicant intends to apply for preliminary plat approval for this site in the future. The proposed site consists of Lot 6, Block 1 and part of Lot 7, Block 1 North Central Commons. Lot 7 will be subdivided with the future plat to create a new lot for future development that is not being used by the memory care site. The applicant preferred to wait until a conditional use permit is issued to take on the risk of subdividing the property, and a condition of approval of the conditional use permit requires the subdivision to occur.
Park dedication will not be required as it was previously paid with the platting of the property.
Recommendation
By motion, approve the Ordinance.
