Page 2 of 2 Case No. 18-30 August 2, 2018 Adequate landscaping for the parking lot and the front yard have been provided. There is a buffer yard along the east side of the property which is north of the existing building as well as portions of the west side of the property. A 23.8 foot buffer yard is shown on an existing plan along both the east and west sides north of the building. This buffer yard is currently a wooded area. STAFF ANALYSIS According to Section XXII.A.3. there are three standards which must be met in order to grant a Conditional Use Permit. With no changes to the existing building and parking layout, staff believes the current proposal continues to meet the same three standards under which the previous Conditional Use Permit for the same use was approved in 2012. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the petition as submitted with the following conditions: 1. Landscaping: All existing trees and vegetation located in the required 23.8 foot buffer yard shall remain intact. 2. If approved by City Council, the Ordinance shall not be signed until a copy of the recorded deed has been given to the City Clerk showing St. Francis Hospital of the Hospital Sisters of the Third Order of St. Francis, an Illinois not-for-profit corporation as the owner of the property. PLAN COMMISSION ACTION Section XXII.A.2. requires the Plan Commission to hold a public hearing on a Conditional Use Permit request, and then forward its report and recommendation to the City Council for a final decision. A motion to forward Calendar 18-30 to City Council by the Plan Commission with a recommendation for approval is suggested. This report constitutes the testimony and recommendation of the Planning and Sustainability Division, Economic and Community Development Department, City of Decatur.
