2. The approving body shall determine that the proposed use is compatible with the surrounding neighborhood in terms of land use intensity. The maximum allowable land use intensity shall be computed as follows: a. Regarding single-family zoningdistricts: (number of allowable dwelling units) x (2.5 residents per dwelling unit) x 1.5 = maximum number of residents allowed. b. Regarding multi family and commercial zoning districts: (number of allowable dwelling units) x (2 residents per dwelling unit) x 1.5 = maximum number of residents allowed. In no case shall the maximum number of residents allowed on a project site exceed the average maximum number of residents allowed (as calculated by the above formula) on adjacent sites bordering the project site. Averaging for adjacent sites shall be based upon length of the common border between the project site and the adjacent site. Note: Since the subject property is zoned RM -6, the multi -family formula applies to this project. The table below shows the calculations to determine the maximum number of residents permitted for the subject site and the number of residents proposed for the subject site. Thus, the proposed group home intensity of 74 residents meets the maximum allowed on the site. 3. To avoid unsafe or unhealthy conditions that may be produced by the overcrowding of persons living in these facilities, a minimum floor area per person shall be required. Floor area requirements shall be measured from interior walls of all rooms including closet space. a. Total interior living space. A minimum of two hundred (200) square feet of interior living space shall be provided per facility resident. Interior living space shall include sleeping space and all other interior space accessible on a regular basis to all facility residents. Note: The applicant proposes 289 sq. ft. per resident living space. b. Minimum sleeping areas. A minimum of eighty (80) square feet shall be provided in each sleeping space for single occupancy. A minimum of simy (60) square feet of sleeping space shall be provided for each bed in a sleeping space for multiple occupancy. Note: Multiple occupancy is proposed for the sleeping quarters. The applicant proposes 70.46 sq. ft per resident for sleeping space. c. Bathroom facilities. A full bathroom with toilet, sink and tub or shower shall be provided for each five (5) residents. Note: The applicant proposes 1 full bathroom per 3.08 residents. 4. To avoid an undue concentration of group care facilities within residential neighborhoods, all such facilities within residential zoning districts shall be located at least one thousand two hundred (1,200) feet apart, measured from property line to property line, unless exempted as follows. The separation distance requirement and measurement shall not apply to group home or ACLF uses involving twenty-one (21) or more residents, where such uses are located on major arterial roadways.
