The City Plan Commission voted 6-0 to recommend approval of this petition at the June 2, 2011 meeting; the minutes of the meeting are attached. BACKGROUND: On June 3, 2010 the petition of Grand Oaks Estates, LLC was tabled by Plan Commission by a 7-0 vote so that the petitioner could meet and discuss a few unresolved issues with the neighbors. On July 1, 2010 the City Plan Commission voted 6-0 to approve the rezoning from R-1 Single Family Residence District to PD Planned Development District. The petition was approved by City Council by a 7-0 vote on July 19, 2010. The petitioner proposes to amend their PD on Lot One (1) for a medical facility and Lot Three (3) for ten (10) additional beds for future use in the Memory Care Facility. It has been proposed that the Memory Care Unit (MCU) Facility will be built in two (2) phases with the Phase I structure being 20,630 square feet with 20 units and Phase 11's Gross Building Area being 34,008 square feet which will hold another 20 units bringing the total number of units to 40. The previous MCU building that was proposed to be built was to be 25,000 square feet. The proposed Medical Facility Office Building is to be 8,400 square feet an increase of 3,400 square feet from the previously proposed building with a future addition of 4,000 square feet. The parking lot configuration has also changed for Lots One (1) and Three (3) but they still meet the City's parking requirements and will be contained on the site.
