PROPOSED ZONING ORDINANCE TEXT AMENDMENT, PERMITTED U@$ TABLE/NURSING <br /> 36 BOXES; SPECIAL QBEBZ OFF-STREET PARR=NG REOUIREMENTS AND DEFINITIONS <br /> 37 Commissioner Gordon made reference to her memo dated August 17 , 1993 in <br /> 38 which she outlined her concerns about this amendment. It appears that from the <br /> 39 dimensional requirements that these nursing homes may be very large and may <br /> 40have impacts on the surrounding neighborhoods. There are no requirements for <br /> 41 buffers or screening and no concern about vehicular access as far as the <br /> 42 neighborhood is concerned. She feels that if this amendment is approved, there <br /> 43 should be adequate safeguards for the neighborhood. She questioned if this <br /> 44 should be a public road with water and sewer. She feels a planned development <br /> 45would be better since it seems that these facilities may be very large. <br /> 46 Planner Mary Willis stated that this amendment is in response to an <br /> 47 inquiry from Meadowbrook Manor on KH.rky Road for expansion, remodeling and <br /> 48 upgrading of the current facility which is not located in a commercial <br /> 49 district. In looking at solutions, they reviewed different- options to address <br /> 50 this request. If this amendment is not approved, they will not be allowed to <br /> 51 expand their-facility:- _.. . <br /> 52 • <br /> Post-lt"brand tax transmittal memo 7671 lot paops ► <br /> IliralM111111111Wirallii <br /> Co. <br /> PhOn.h <br /> Putt Far* <br /> RECEIVED FROM 919 644 3004 P. 1 <br /> SEP-03-19S3 14:45 FROM ORANGE CTY COMMISSIONERS TO PLANNING P.02/02 <br /> 8 <br /> 1 John Link stated that he has a concern that the terms intermediate <br /> 2 care facility or skilled nurse care facility were not used in the amendment <br /> 3 because these are the terms usually used in defining nursing home facilities. <br /> 4 He asked that they look into using these specific terms in this amendment. <br /> 5 Motion was made by Commissioner Gordon, seconded by Commissioner <br /> 6 Halkiotis to refer this to the staff to develop some requirements in the <br /> 7 context of a planned development approach. <br /> 8 VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> 9 NOTE: This will go to the Planning Board for a recommendation before it is <br /> l0brought back to the County Commissioners. <br /> 11 <br />
