Howard, that Case Number 16CUP1014 be APPROVED, noting reference to
Page 2 of the Staff Report, Number 4A, that due to the nature of the physical
structure and the separate entrances for three separate entities under one
roof, that the permit is modified so that the boarding home will have a
maximum of 15 boarders rather than the 8 required by code; also noting
reference to Page 3 of the Staff Report, Item J, that the Board finds that the
establishment of the facility will not result in harm to the health, safety or
general welfare of the surrounding neighborhood, and that substantial adverse
impacts on adjoining property or land uses will not result from the facilities'
operations due to the size of the building, the nature of the neighborhood
where there are boarding houses and rooming houses in existence and the
size of the three structures under one roof will not result in density beyond the
neighborhood's capacity; also the Board finds the request to not add
landscaping and buffering on the site is approved because of the physical
restraints on the property and the lot involved, and SUBJECT to the following
Conditions of Approval:
Conditions of Approval:
1. The site shall be developed in strict compliance with the approved
development plan (including all notes thereon). No further development shall
occur on the site without prior review and approval by the Board.
