Development Standards
The Project will follow the required development standards under the R-1-C Zone District. These standards include a 25-foot front yard setback, 5-foot side yard setback, and a 20-foot rear yard setback. The facility will be designed to appear as a single-family residential home with enhanced landscaping and architectural treatments along the street frontage. With this design, the proposed facility will be compatible with the adjacent residential land uses.
Access. Circulation & Parking
The Project will maintain the general circulation pattern existing for the sites by retaining ingress/egress from Armstrong Avenue. Access to the site is proposed with a one-way circular driveway from Armstrong Avenue. This design will limit vehicles needing to back onto Armstrong Avenue. Per the CMC, to adequately accommodate staff and visitors, one (1) parking space is required for each five (5) beds. Based on this requirement, four (4) parking stalls are required, and six (6) are provided, three (3) of which are covered.
Architecture
As shown in Figure 3 below, the architectural design of the 6,000 sq. ft. congregate care facility will resemble a custom-built home with enhanced architectural treatments along the front elevation. The applicant's intent is to provide attractive building elevations that will be compatible with the existing single-family residential homes in the surrounding area (see Attachment 2).

The City published notice of this public hearing in The Business Journal on Monday, June 10, 2024. A public notice was also sent to property owners within a minimum of 300 feet of the project site boundaries. Staff has not received any inquiries prior to the finalization of the staff report.

The City has determined that this Project is exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15332 (Class 32 - In-Fill Development Projects) and that the exceptions identified under Section 15300.2 of the CEQA Guidelines would not be triggered as a result of the Project.
The Class 32 categorical exemption exempts projects that: (a) are consistent with the applicable land use designation, General Plan policies, and zoning; (b) are within city limits on a project site of no more than five (5) acres substantially surrounded by urban uses; (c) are located on sites 29 AGENDA ITEM NO. 3.
Proposed Site Layout
Figure 2 showcases the proposed site layout which includes a t6,000 square foot building and circular driveway located off Armstrong Avenue. The main entry to the facility is located on the west side of the facility. Parking stalls are proposed along the south side of the building. To the west of the site, a trash enclosure is proposed to allow for refuse pick up. The applicant worked with Engineering staff to find the ideal location for the enclosure. Additionally, the facility provides a seating area with a trellis and landscape area to provide an outdoor space for residents and visitors.
Staff recommends the project install a solid masonry wall, a minimum of six feet (6') in height adjacent to residential properties. Although the CMC does not require a wall to be installed, previous similar facilities have installed masonry walls along property lines. The applicant is aware and has provided a wall along the north, east, and south property lines. Wall details will be reviewed through the site plan review process.
