6 <br /> ( 1) Nursing Homes <br /> Presentation by Emily Cameron. <br /> This item is to consider proposed amendments to <br /> the Zoning Ordinance creating a land use category <br /> and development standards for nursing homes. <br /> Under the current Zoning Ordinance provisions, a <br /> nursing home facility for more than fifteen <br /> unrelated individuals must comply with standards <br /> for a rehabilitative care facility. The land use <br /> category for rehabilitative care includes <br /> facilities for persons addicted to drugs or <br /> alcohol, youthful offenders, and persons <br /> adjusting to non-prison life. Such facilities <br /> are permitted in the Local Commercial, Community <br /> Commercial, and General Commercial zoning <br /> districts. <br /> The Planning Staff proposes a new land use <br /> category and appropriate standards for nursing <br /> homes to be included in Articles 4 , 8, 10, and <br /> 22 . <br /> The proposed amendments were presented at the <br /> public hearing on May 24 .
