Request for Council Action continued page 3 June 5, 1995 Proposed Zoning Code Amendment-Domestic Abuse Shelters Proposed Amendment The draft amendment, both residential and B-4 versions, has been revised per the Planning Commission recommendation of May 24. The commercial and residential versions are nearly identical, except for the title and heading. Additionally, the B-4 version contains no reference in the "Location" section regarding proximity to other commercial districts. Residential CUP vs. Commercial CUP Adoption of a residential CUP has the following impacts: • Shelter could be located in any residentially zoned site that meets all of the conditions established in the ordinance. • As drafted, possible locations are limited to the immediate Navarre area and to a limited number of residential properties just north of Highway 12 between Brown Road and Willow. • No rezoning would be required for the proposed Navarre shelter site. • Amendment contains requirements for reducing impacts on surrounding neighborhood, including screening. • The potential exists for performance standard variances which could broaden the location possibilities. Adoption of a commercial CUP would have the following impacts: • Shelter limited to B-4 Office and Professional Districts, which currently are located only in Navarre and total approximately 16 acres. • Would require rezoning of proposed shelter site from LR-IC to B-4. • Current B-4 permitted uses include municipal buildings, general and professional offices, clinics, banks and insurance offices. B-4 conditional uses currently include nursing homes, hospitals, rest homes, retirement homes, schools, research centers, veterinary clinics or kennels, libraries, museums, galleries, restaurants/cafeterias within office buddings, parking, and public service structures. • If the Navarre site was rezoned to B-4 and a shelter was established but later discontinued, only the above uses would be feasible for the site.
