Adjacent land uses include single family residential to the west across County Ditch No.4, a three to four story assisted living facility to the south, f a two-story dormitory to the east, and Northwestern College to the north. This property is currently vacant; however, the approved PUD site plan did have this parcel designated as a 36 unit assisted-care senior housing facility. The PUD approval document includes a specific condition for the development of this parcel: (That) the final plans for the 36 unit future phase of senior housing in the northwest l comer of the site be designed as shown on the final PUD site plan. This means that the use will be for senior housing with some assisted care provided. There should be adequate parking in the location shown.
