References to <br />the relevant PSAC discussion and action for each amendment are <br />given in each analysis section. There are no conflicts between any <br />of the proposed amendments and PSAC recommendations. <br />1. Required Separation Distances Between Group Homes/ACLFs. <br />Currently, the LDRs require a 1,200' separation distance <br />between group home/ACLF uses, regardless of where they are <br />located. The purpose of the requirement is to avoid an undue <br />concentration of such uses in a residential neighborhood. <br />There are two reasons why staff believes the existing LDRs <br />should be changed: <br />a. The separation distance should not apply to group <br />home/ACLF uses located in commercial districts. Larger <br />group home/ACLFs are allowed in commercial districts, and <br />2 such projects have been proposed and approved within <br />the last year. In staff's opinion, a concentration of <br />larger group home/ACLFs in a commercial district would <br />not interfere with a residential neighborhood because the <br />use would not be located in a residential neighborhood. <br />Any concentration of larger group home/ACLFs would <br />probably result in an "institutional area" that would be <br />compatible with the commercial zoning district. <br />b. The separation distance should not apply to larger group <br />homes/ACLFs located along arterials. Under such <br />circumstances, the uses would not break-up or intrude <br />into residential neighborhoods since such projects would <br />probably access the arterials and would not be integrated <br />into any adjacent neighborhood area. Such uses would <br />either be isolated from neighborhoods (as indicated <br />above) or could even provide a transition from major <br />thoroughfares to neighborhoods. <br />The proposed LDR amendment would apply the 1,200' separation <br />distance only to group home/ACLF uses located in residential <br />districts, and would "exempt" larger projects located along <br />arterial roadways from having to meet the separation distance <br />requirement. <br />Reference: PSAC meeting summary: 12/15/94 (attachment #3; <br />pp. 4 & 5).

The proposed changes would clarify the <br />distinction between temporary sales offices within mobile <br />homes versus those- located in buildings or modular units. <br />Also, the requirement to obtain a temporary use permit (TUP) <br />4 <br />MAY 159 1995 <br />M <br />
