Approved 10.18.2023 1 Martin, would your assessment and conclusion hold for properties beyond just those that are contiguous to this 2 property? 3 4 Jarvis Martin: Yes, sir. 5 6 Ryan Moffitt: Okay. That's the only additional question I had. Thank you. 7 8 Beth Bronson: I have one I'm sorry. I have one question for you, one follow-up question. I mean, in the market studies, 9 you have the, you have homes in nearby of matching ones but, and I guess is this market analysis in reference to home 10 prices only, residential only? 11 12 Jarvis Martin: What I looked at was generally if there's going to be an impact, it would show up in single-family 13 residential homes. If you're talking about the sale of land and those things, I did not explore if that would have any 14 impact. 15 16 Beth Bronson: Thank you. 17 18 Leon Meyers: All right. Thank you, sir. Mr. Moffitt? 19 20 Ryan Moffitt: Thank you, Mr. Martin, I appreciate your help with that. That concludes the witnesses that the applicant 21 has, the witness testimony, and so I'll just take a moment to conclude our presentation before we take public comment, 22 and just to say that, again, reiterate thanks to staff for all the time that they have spent with us in reviewing and 23 reviewing and reviewing and giving feedback, and to my clients and their team for all their hard work. Staff has 24 acknowledged to you, and you've seen the site plan and the additional exhibits in the agenda packet which establish 25 affirmative evidence of the standard requirements for the requested special uses. Those are the requirements set forth 26 in Orange County LIDO Sections 2.5 and 2.7, which pertain to the application standards. And then the standards in 27 Section 5.75 and 5.18.14, which are the use-specific standards. Those are set forth in the site plan that's been 28 submitted and that's included in your agenda packet. Beyond those standards, you've heard testimonial evidence this 29 evening to the three additional requirements: that the use will maintain or promote the public healthy, safety, and 30 general welfare if it's located where it's proposed and developed and operated according to the plan that's been 31 submitted. You've heard evidence from Rebecca Sorenson about the benefit that the plan and the project will provide 32 to a community that's in need and those that are facing intellectual and developmental disabilities. Not only that, but 33 this is also a new business to the community, a new small business to the community that's in a neighborhood that has 34 a need, that has a demand, that's a vibrant rural neighborhood that welcomes a lot of activity and that folks like the 35 Sorenson's call their neighborhood. I till serve that community as a small business. This testimony in and of itself, in 36 addition to the testimony of Mr. Sorenson and Mr. and Ms. Cullen, speak to that element of the maintenance and 37 promotion of the public health, safety, and general welfare. The second requirement that the proposed use will 38 maintain or enhance the value of contiguous property. You've heard testimony and evidence about the history of this 39 property, about the uses of the other properties in the area. You've heard testimony about the way in which this 40 property will be used, the low-impact approach to its development. These are all methods that the applicant has taken 41 to preserve the character of this area and to respect the contiguous uses and the character of adjoining properties. 42 You've, importantly, heard Mr. Martin's very thorough market analysis that he conducted in light of this proposed use 43 that found conclusively that the proposed uses will not have an adverse effect and therefore may at least maintain the 44 values of contiguous property. The evidence is there for you to conclude that that element has been met. And, finally, 45 that the location and character of the use will be in harmony with the area in which it's to be located and that it's in 46 compliance with Orange County's planning policies and comprehensive land use plan. Again, I'm reiterating what I just 47 said, but the character of this area, the rural character of this area, this neighborhood, and not only the county's 48 planning for this area but the residents of this area and their desires play a big part in the low-impact approach to this 49 plan and the priority that was made of ensuring that it remained harmonious with adjoining uses. I would just conclude 50 by saying thank you all for spending a long evening with us hearing our presentation and allowing us to lay this out for 27
