M M 6410 Old Dixie Highway, approximately 1/10th of a mile south of 65th Street on the east side of Old Dixie Highway. The subject site is located within a CL zoning district. Consequently, special exception use approval must be granted by the county for the proposed adult group home care facility. The applicant has proposed a 19 bed facility to serve elderly residents. This is equivalent to a level III group home, as defined by county land development regulations. The applicant has applied for, but has not received, applicable HRS permits as of this date. Therefore, staff will ensure that the licensed capacity permitted by the Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services (HRS) is compatible with the proposed site plan. At its April 28, 1994 meeting, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted unanimously to approve major site plan application subject to. the Board of County Commissioners approval of the special exception request and to recommend that the Board of County Commissioners approve the special exception use request, as recommended at the end of this report. Pursuant to section 971.05 of the LDRs, the Board of County Commissioners is now to consider the appropriateness of the requested use based on the submitted site plan and suitability of the site for that use. The Board may approve, approve with conditions or deny the special exception use request. The County may attach any conditions and safeguards necessary to mitigate impacts and to ensure compatibility of. the use with the surrounding area. ANALYSIS: 1. Zoning Classification: CL, General Commercial 2. Land Use Designation: C/I, Commercial/Industrial 3. Surrounding Land Use and Zoning: North: Vacant/CL South: Vacant/CL East: Grove/CL West: Old Dixie Highway, Vacant/IL 4. Total Area of Site: 36,543 sq. ft. or 0.84 acres 5. Density: Maximum: 20 persons on this site Proposed: 19 persons on this site To ensure compatibility with surrounding land uses, the number of persons utilizing a group home is referred to as the land use intensity. Since. the subject site lies within the CL zoning district, the land use intensity is derived by using the densities allowed in the RM -8 district (Residential Multi - Family at 8 units per acre). Land use intensity is then calculated by applying the criteria in section 971.18(e)(2) of the county's land development regulations. For this project, the maximum number of residents is: (.84 acres"X 8 units/acre) % 2 persons 8 1.5 = 20 residents maximum. 6. Building Area: Existing: 3,044 sq. ft. Proposed: 6,424 sq. ft.
