The Planning Commission forwarded a positive recommendation. Public Hearing was opened. Isaac Bingham, resident of Sandy and ER Physician, could see the need for drug and alcohol treatment facilities along with a need to regulate them. He expressed his concerns with the proposed code amendment. He believes there will be no check or balances with a hearing officer, and no appeal authority. The hearing officer would have the soul authority to either approve or reject reasonable accommodations, which he believes would not provide any forum for community or neighborhood involvement, taking power away from the Planning Commission. It also presents the risk of increased density in neighborhoods. Steve VanMaren, appreciated Mr. Bingham's comments and was hopeful the Council would listen to the legal comments. He felt a hearing officer was a good idea. He felt that a notice to residents should be included in the ordinance so they are not blindsided when a facility is located in their neighborhood.
