PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT & LOCATION Waterford Associates, owner of the subject property, has submitted a site plan application for a multiple -family development and a residential center group home located in the RM -6, Multiple -Family Residential District. The residential center group home is a special exception use in the RM -6 district; therefore, the appli- cant is requesting approval for the residential center special exception use. The subject property is located on the south side of State Road 60, between 71st Avenue and 66th Avenue. The 68 acre site will be developed in three phases. The first phase will include development of 196 apartment units and several accessory uses, including clubhouse, pools, racquetball courts, tennis court, laundry and small day care center. The second phase includes construction of the 210 unit group home, and the third phase includes completion of 110 additional apartment units. All improvements, such as drainage, stormwater, and landscaping will be constructed with each phase. The apartment development will include studio, one, two and three bedroom units ranging in size from 550 square feet to 1,380 square feet. The group home units include one bedroom, one bedroom with den, and two bedroom/two bath units ranging from 748 square feet to 2,240 square feet. Pursuant to Section 25.3 of the Zoning Code, Regulation of Special Exception Uses, the Board of County Commissioners is to. consider the appropriateness of the requested use based on the submitted site plan and the suitability of the site for that use. The County may attach any conditions and safeguards necessary to assure compatibility of the use with the surrounding area. At their meeting of June 26, 1986, the Planning and Zoning Commission considered Waterford Associates request to construct 306 apartment units and a -210 unit group home. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the Special Exception Use with the conditions as recommended by staff: a. That a 15' wide landscape strip be developed along the west property line where Phase II (the group home) abuts the established residential neighborhood. Tree plantings conforming to the. landscape ordinance shall be provided to fill in gaps in existing vegetation within the 15' landscape strip to provide effective visual screening of the group home from the established single family residential area. b. That the size of the individual units be reduced to a minimum of 750 square feet and that full kitchen facilities be eliminated in all units; 34
