A total of 17 ACLF units are proposed for the subject site. These units will be in the form of single- family houses arranged in a. conventional single-family subdivision layout, although no individual lots will be conveyed. Each house will be set up to allow living space for 6 individuals participating in the assisted living program. Living space will include individual bedrooms and bathrooms, a common living room and a common kitchen. Each unit will also have a separate supervisor's suite for a full- time caregiver to meet the residents' needs. Limited medical care will be available on an as -needed basis since the site will not have full-time doctors or full-time nurses on staff The adult care building will be for adults with developmental disabilities and their families. Primarily, the building will be used to conduct classes for ambulatory adults with mild to moderate disabilities. Since the activities held in this building will be available to off-site clients, the use of the building has been classified as an adult care facility for zoning purposes. Upon build -out of this overall project, the adult care building will also serve as a community center for the project by becoming the focal point for a variety of social, educational, and recreation activities for the residents of the ACLF units. In addition, the building will accommodate administrative office staff for the facility, board meetings for Sun -Up of Indian River, Inc., and occasional fund raising activities. The subject site is comprised of two separate parcels of land. Based on a review of historical tax maps, staff deterudined that an illegal lot split had occurred creating one of the parcels involved in this project. To make the lot split legal, an affidavit of exemption application has been submitted to the county for review and approval. Prior to site plan release for the adult care facility, the applicant must obtain approval of the affidavit of exemption. At its regular meeting of February 14, 2002, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 6-0 to recommend that the Board of County Commissioners approve the special exception use requests with the conditions contained in the recommendation at the end of this report (please see attachment #5) At this time, the Board of County Commissioners is to consider the requests and is to approve, approve with conditions, or deny the special exception use requests for the proposed ACLF units and the adult care facility. Pursuant to section 971.05 of the land development regulations (LDRs), the Board is to consider the appropriateness of the requested uses for the subject site and surrounding area. The Board may attach reasonable conditions and safeguards necessary to mitigate impacts and to ensure compatibility of the uses with the surrounding area.
