Summary
Landscape Plan
September 24, 2024 12
Per Parking Ordinance Section 8.4.8,
50 spaces would be required between
the existing assistant living community
and propose memory care land uses
The existing PD zoning for the site
established a parking standard of 41
parking spaces between the two
existing land uses.
The site improvements from the
proposed memory care facility will
result in the loss of seven parking
spaces (from 41 to 34 parking spaces)
for a total of 34 spaces.

Planned Development Finding 5 in part
states, “…that where an applicant's
proposed off-street parking is less than
that set forth by the standards of Section 8
of this Ordinance, circumstances are such
that it would be a practical difficulty or
create a physical hardship on the applicant
for him to conform to the standards of
Section 8.

Analysis

Traffic and Parking Analysis (Traffic
Patterns, Traffic and Parking Analysis,
February 15, 2024).
Conclusion: The loss of parking should
not result in any impacts to the
community as future Memory Care
residents will not be driving due to their
medical needs
The project does expand visitor and staff
parking on-site.

Week Theme
The theme this year focuses on Smoke Alarms as
majority of fire deaths in US homes due to a lack of
working Smoke Alarms
• Install Smoke Alarms in every bedroom, outside
sleeping areas, and on each level of the home
• Ensure Smoke Alarms meet needs of all family
members, including those with sensory or physical
disabilities
• Test Smoke Alarms at least once a month by pushing
the test button
• Replace all Smoke Alarms when they reach 10 years of
age
Thank you!
