Staff feels the Board of County Commissioners should consider the following additional conditions to make this project more compati- ble with uses in the area: a. The residential center use should be approved speci- fically for housing for the elderly and physically handicapped and that any change in the clientele would necessitate approval by the Board of County Commis- sioners. b. A buffer and 50' setback shall be established on the north and east sides bordering the existing single- family areas. In staff's opinion, with the above conditions, the proposed -.use satisfies the applicable residential center criteria in regards to County policy. RECOMMENDATION: Based on the above analysis, staff recommends that the Board of County CoMmissioners grant special exception approval for the project, subject to the following conditions: 1. prior to site plan release, 25' of. property shall be dedi- cated for the 30th Street right -of -'way; JUL 5 1988 25 BOOK 73 FACT 165
