Page 12 - City Plar. Commission - 4-3-80 As to the need to reduce t:�e '� mile anti-impaction clause for small facilities , s�a�� supports a reduction for smaller facilities as it is reasonable to argue that they have a much smaller impact than the larger care 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 of the facilities thro�ghout 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 adequate yard space for aesthetic and recre«tional functions . We are , however, willing to support a reduction in lo� size for smaller facilities . Lastly, the request proposes defining the off-street parking requiremer.ts of small facilities . Staff supports the proposed change in off-street paxking re- quirements . We have prepared an alternative proposal for amend- . ir.g the Zonina Ordinance to further accommodate smaller care facilities which the commission has received that details the changes staff would support. The .following is the aetails of the proposed text changes : Section s:XI .A. 1. Special Use Regulations (�) Resider.tial Care Facilities - 1 .
