Title
Metzler Ranch Planned Development Zoning Regulations, 2nd, Amendment, Major Planned Development Text Amendment [1.36-acres, located at 864 Barranca Drive]
Body
________________________________________________________________________________
Executive Summary
An application has been made for a Planned Development (PD) Text Amendment to the Metzler Ranch PD Zoning Regulation, 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 inpatient 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.
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 residents and inpatients, except 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.
The property was developed in 2010; however, 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.
Staff is seeking Planning Commission’s recommendation of approval to Town Council. Town Council is scheduled to consider this application on August 20th.
