Should the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend approval of a change in zoning
from High Density Residential (R-3) to Low Density Residential (R-1) zoning district; on
approximately 34,217 square foot tract of land located at 330 Bayside Dr. and legally
described as Lots 8-10 & S. ½ of Lot 7, Block 1, Bayside Terrace Subdivision?
DISCUSSION
Location:
The subject site is located at 330 Bayside Dr., east of S. Broadway. The site is currently
undeveloped.
Background Information:
The property is currently undeveloped and was previously occupied by a small
apartment complex. The complex was closed and demolished by the city. The city
would now like to change the zoning of the property from R-3 to R-1 in order to fit with
the adjacent single family development to the east and south.
The attached Exhibit B shows the zoning of the subject property and surrounding
properties. The following table summarizes the surrounding zoning and land uses:

ISSUE
Should the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend approval of a SCUP to allow
for an active senior living facility, to locate on a 6.96 acre tract of land legally described
as Tracts 718B, 719, and 719A, La Porte Outlots?
DISCUSSION
Location:
The subject site is located on the west side of Underwood Rd., north of Fairmont and south
of Caniff Rd.
Background Information:
The property is currently undeveloped and zoned Planned Unit Development (PUD).
The applicant is interested in developing an active senior living facility on the site. The
facility will look and operate similarly to a traditional multi-family facility but will be
restricted to residents that are 55 years of age or older. Additionally, the applicant will
be seeking tax credits from the state to help fund the project.
The attached Exhibit B shows the zoning of the subject property and surrounding
properties. The following table summarizes the surrounding zoning and land uses:

Notification Requirements:
Staff finds that the public hearing notification requirements outlined in Section 106-171
were performed in accordance with code provisions, including the following: notice in a
newspaper of general circulation at least 15 days prior to the hearing; written notice
mailed to owners of real property within 200 feet of the site within 10 days of the
hearing and in this case notice was sent to all property owners and residents within the

hearing. In accordance with state law, notice of the public hearing was also posted at
Analysis:
There are a number of different considerations staff evaluated during the review of this
1.Land Use. The proposed senior living facility is a good fit with the surrounding
land uses and will act as a buffer between the single family residential to the
north and the commercial to the south. Current Future Land Use designation is
listed as NC, Neighborhood Commercial. This will be changed to Mid-High
Density Residential, MHDR, if the proposed SCUP is approved.
2.Access. There is sufficient existing right-of-way access along Underwood Rd. Use
of Caniff Rd. as a secondary emergency access point is also possible.
3.Utilities. Sewer services are available along the western property line of the site.
Water service is available across Underwood Rd. from the proposed site and will
need to be extended by the developer.

considered prior to making land use decisions. The following table breaks down each

Analysis:
General Plan review requires approval by the Planning and Zoning Commission; there is
no review of the document by the City Council required. However, should the

General Plan is intended to provide for a conceptual layout of the proposed
development.
Should City Council approve the proposed SCUP, the applicant will be required to submit
application for a site development plan in compliance with applicable code
requirements. The site plan will be required to comply with all requirements of the
approved SCUP document as well as Chapter 106, Zoning,
