ACTION REQUESTED:
Title
Communication from the City Manager and the Community Development Director with a Request to Concur with the Recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission and Staff to ADOPT an ORDINANCE Amending a SPECIAL USE for an Assisted Living Facility for the Property Located at 2724 RESERVOIR BOULEVARD (14-30-302-002, -004 and -018, and 14-30-328-001 and -031), to Add Property for a Parking Lot Expansion, Located at 3627 N. ROCKWOOD (14-30-329-027), Peoria, Illinois. (Council District 4)
Body
BACKGROUND:
The Planning and Zoning Commission VOTED 6 - 0 TO APPROVE the special use amendment, including a six foot fence along the south property line; and a four - six foot fence front yard fence along Rockwood, of the new lot. Additionally, the approval included the condition that landscaping points for the required Transitional Buffer Yard on the south property line will be met.
The petitioner requests to add an additional lot to an existing assisted living facility, to allow for a parking lot expansion. The expansion will net an additional 67 parking spaces, for a total of 271, 9 of which are accessible parking spaces.
Previous Ordinances for the use, from 1993 to 2004, include building and parking lot additions: Ordinances 13,667, 14,115, 15,017; and 15,728.
Note the original application included a rezoning request for the eastern-most lot; however it was determined to be unnecessary because the use is permitted as a Special Use in the current zoning district.
For additional background information, please refer to the Staff memorandum to the Planning and Zoning Commission, dated January 7, 2016.
