BACKGROUND The southeastern 22.7-acre portion of the overall 27.41 acre subject site was originally approved in September of 2018 for Community Care Campus (CCC) in the PD Planned Development District. An amendment of the original PD Planned Development District was recently approved in March 2019 to allow four(4) more accessory apartment buildings for the patients. The current CCC contains an existing community medical facility with a parking lot and a community garden (operated by Crossing Healthcare); a community service center(Northeast Community Fund), an accessory dormitory building, an inpatient care facility, an outpatient facility, all under construction; several vacant parcels approved for accessory apartment buildings and an early childhood development center(Baby Talk). The petitioner proposes the CCC be expanded by adding two areas of land, zoned"R-6" and `B- 2" Districts with 4.71-acres in combined size, to the northwest and west of the original CCC. In conjunction of a request for rezoning of the two areas from "R-6" and "B-2" Districts to "PD" District, the current PD Planned Development District is requested to be amended to add and to replace the previously approved early childhood development center with a much larger 2-story social service building to be shared by Baby Talk and DMCOC.
