Page 2 of 3 <br /> 180 West Imboden Drive and 2110-2181 Imboden Place <br /> September 6, 2012 <br /> memory care facility be attached to the existing Imboden Creek Living Center nursing home. <br /> Building a separate stand-a-lone building would not be feasible due to the fact the nursing home <br /> and memory care facility would have had to have separate staff, nurses and an administrator to <br /> run the new facility. No co-mingling of staff could occur. The proposed building will be built on <br /> the same property as the previously approved PD plan with the exception that it will be located <br /> nearer to the existing building and attached by a corridor. <br /> STAFF ANALYSIS <br /> 1. Staff believes that the proposed development is compatible with the surrounding area and will <br /> have a positive impact on the neighborhood. The nursing home to the west and the independent <br /> living to the east have been at the current location for over 20 years and it has not appeared to <br /> have had an adverse effect on the neighborhood. With the construction of the memory care <br /> facility the petitioners will be able to complete their goal and desire to provide complete living <br /> and care opportunities to the senior citizens of Decatur and Macon County. <br /> 2. The existing streets are adequate to carry the anticipated traffic of the development. The <br /> proposed utilities are adequate to serve the development. <br /> 3. Access to the property will be off of West Imboden Drive. <br /> 4. Adequate landscaping is proposed for the frontage along West Imboden Drive, South Franklin <br /> Street and Enlow Drive as well as a buffer yard to the west of the proposed development. <br /> Adequate landscaping is proposed for the parking lot. <br /> 5. The amended PD plan has been reviewed and approved by the City's Technical Review <br /> Committee, Planning, Engineering and Fire. <br /> STAFF RECOMMENDATION <br /> 1. Based on the analysis, staff recommends approval of the amended PD Planned Development Plan <br /> with the following conditions: <br /> a. Final site, landscaping and lighting plans shall be submitted to and approved by the <br /> Department of Planning and Building Services, Public Works Department and the Fire <br /> Department prior to building permits being released. <br /> b. A Subdivision Final Plat must be submitted to and approved by the Department of Planning <br /> and Building Services, Public Works Department and the Fire Department prior to building <br /> permits being released. <br /> PLAN COMMISSION ACTION <br /> 1. Section XIX.G.2. of the City of Decatur Zoning Ordinance requires the Plan Commission to hold <br /> a public hearing to review the Planned Development plan and report its findings concerning the <br /> effect on the comprehensive plan and compliance with the standards of review to the City <br /> Council. A motion to forward Calendar Number 12-31 to the City Council with a <br /> recommendation for approval is suggested. <br />
