The Emily Program intends to maintain as much of a residential character of the property <br /> as possible by limiting signage and changes to the exterior finishes of the building which are not <br /> consistent with a single family home. Due to the location of the existing building on the property, <br /> setback variances are also requested. A"hospital use"requires a 100-foot setback from adjacent <br /> residentially zoned properties where the school use only required a 50-foot setback. <br /> Based on the hospital use requirement outlined within City Code 78-418(14),the proposed use requires <br /> a minimum of 600 square feet of lot area for each person to be accommodated. The applicant is <br /> proposing an 8-bed facility. The property has 25,440 square feet in area and exceeds this requirement. <br /> Page � <br /> 10 <br />
