Title

AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 1206 OF THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE RELEVANT TO REMOVE ASSISTED LIVING, CONTINUING CARE RETIREMENT COMMUNITIES, AND INSTITUTIONAL RESIDENTIAL FROM ALLOWED USES WITHIN THE COMMERCIAL-FOCUSED DISTRICTS.

Brief Description:  Proposed amendment to the Land Development Code to remove Assisted Living, Continuing Care Retirement Communities, and Institutional Residential from allowed uses within the commercial focused districts. 

Body

Legislative History

None

Purpose & Explanation

Please see attached memorandum

Proposed amendment to the Land Development Code to remove Assisted Living, Continuing Care Retirement Communities, and Institutional Residential  from allowed uses within the commercial focused districts.  Removing these use categories from commercial/industrial districts would preserve these areas for businesses development.  Additionally, focusing these uses within District 3 would be more central to the community and closer to emergency services. 

Planning Commission conducted a public hearing and competed recommendation on October 13, 2025 with the applicable uses limited to District 2 and District 3 with the additional requirements that all such uses be within a one mile radius of the EMS center (map attached).  Note:  only a small portion of D2 would be located within the one mile radius.
