April 6, 2021 Centerville Planning & Zoning Commission Page 3of 9 RE: NorBella Senior Living – Rezoning, Conditional Use Permit, Site Plan Review REQUESTS Rezoning The request is to rezone the parcel from B-2 to B-1, as illustrated below. The Land Use Plan designation of Commercial would not change – both districts correspond to the C designation on the Land Use Plan. When the B-2 district was created recently it was intended to regulate uses on Main Street, with B-1 for other commercial properties off Main Street. Since the original larger Rehbein parcel fronts Main Street it was all zoned B-2, even though the NorBella lot and other parcels are some distance from Main Street. The NorBella site is 550-600 ft north of Main Street. Conditional Use Permit A Specialized Care Facility is a Conditional Use in the B-1 district, defined in the Zoning Code as “A state-licensed care facility which is not otherwise specifically defined or regulated elsewhere in this chapter.” The facility will require state licenses for assisted living and memory care. If the rezoning is approved, the proposed NorBella facility would be allowed with a CUP. The issues associated with this type of facility involve having the appropriate license(s) from the State and County; having adequate staff to handle emergencies involving residents, such as falls; and having a plan in place to followed in case of emergencies, with the City being able to assess the owners for excessive use of emergency services. These conditions and findings are detailed later in this report and in the City Attorney’s draft CUP. A CUP must meet the criteria in Section 156.320 of the Zoning Code – basically that the use is necessary and desirable; that it will not adversely impact the neighborhood; and that it is designed to allow development of neighboring property. The proposal meets these criteria.
