Title
Ordinance - Third and Final Reading on an Ordinance Approving a Zoning Change from an Existing PD to a new PD for a Nursing & Rehabilitation Center on Approximately 6.6 acres, Generally Located at the Southeast Corner of Cannon Drive and North Miller Road; SCI Construction, Ltd. (ZC#13-005)
Requested Action
To consider the subject zoning change request.
Recommendation
The Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing on July 15, 2013, and voted 5-0 to recommend approval as presented. Vice-Chairman Dodson and Commissioner Smithee were absent.
Description/History
The applicant is proposing a Nursing and Rehabilitation Center called the Courtyards at Mansfield. The project will be a single phase, 136-140 bed facility.
The property is currently zoned PD for a Nursing, Assisted Living and Physical Therapy Center consisting of 15+ acres. The remainder acreage not covered by this zoning change will retain the current PD zoning until such time as an amendment or a new zoning change is proposed.
While the land use is similar, the applicant's proposal represents a major change from the current PD:
- Substantially different building footprint (see current PD plans in attachment)
- Less building mass and height when compared to the two-story nursing center in the current PD
- Fewer beds when compared to the 240 beds in the current PD
- Deletion of the wrought iron fence along Cannon Drive and North Miller Road (it is not required for the protection of adjacent uses)
