Page 12 - City Plan Commission - 4-3-80 As to �he need to reduce the � mile anti-impaction clause for small facilities , s�a�f supports a reduction for smaller facilities as it is reasonable to argue that they have a much smaller impact than the l�raer ca�e facilities due to scale. Staff supports a � mile anti-impactior. clause rather than the 1/6 mile proposed to assure a higher degree of scatteration o� the facilities throughout the community. The request to remove lot area requirements is not supported by staff because a minimum size was established to help assure minimum impaction on immediately surrounding properties and would allow for adequ�te yard space for aesthetic and recreational functions . We are, however, willing to support a reduction in lo� size for smaller facilities . Lastly, the request proposes defining the off-street parking requirements of small facilities . Staff supports the proposed change in off-st�eet parking re- quirements . We have prepared an alternative proposal for amend- . ir.g the Zoning Ordinance to further accommodate smaller care facilities which the commission has received that details the ch�na,es staff would support. The .following is the aetails of the proposed text changes : Section ::XI .A. 1. Special Use Regulations (�) Resider,tial Care Facilities - l . Those facilities of more than 12 be�s when located in R-5 or R-6 zoning districts and at least � mile from other such facilities of more than 12 beds , and located at least 4 mile from those faCilities of 12 beds or less 4nd on a site containing a lot area of at least � acre plus an additional 5�0 square feet of lot area for each bed. 2 .
