Title

Body
________________________________________________________________________________
Executive Summary
The Ordinance was approved on first reading on August 20, 2024, with a vote of 4 to 3, with no changes.
An application has been made for a Planned Development (PD) Text Amendment to the Metzler Ranch PD Zoning Regulations, relative only to the property located at 864 Barranca Drive (Attachment A).
The property is zoned to allow nursing home, assisted living and memory care. The proposed amendment would add limited adolescent residential mental health care (adolescent care) as an allowed use. The amendment also removes the 60 years and above, age-restriction from the assisted living and memory care uses, but restricts the adolescent care to minors, ages 13 through 17 (Attachment G).
The proposed use will function similarly to the current permitted uses, in terms of residential stay accommodations, support with daily activities, medical support, and monitoring of the residents, except the new use will serve a younger demographic, with mild to moderate mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety and mood disorders. The facility will not accept or treat youth with severe mental health conditions, or conditions that require acute inpatient psychiatric treatment. No outpatient care will be provided at this facility.
The property was developed in 2010, and originally operated as Metzler Memory Care. The building has been vacant for a few years. No exterior changes or additions to the building are being proposed, other than potential repairs. Interior improvements will be made to the client rooms and common areas. Landscaping will be brought up to Town standards.
Planning Commission considered the proposed amendment at a public hearing held August 8, 2024. The Commission voted 6-0 to recommend approval to Town Council.
Budget Impact
There is no new budget impact associated with the proposed new use. Use tax and impact fees were collected by the Town with the original building permit.
Staff Recommendation
Planning Commission voted 6-0 to recommend to Town Council approval of the proposed text amendment as represented in the Metzler Ranch Planned Development Zoning Regulations, 2nd Amendment, as proposed.
