Action Requested
Recommend, by motion, approval of the ordinance amendment, including proposed definitions and the
various permitted vs. conditional uses, as outlined.
Background/Discussion
On February 19, 2019, City Council directed staff to review the definitions for institutional uses, separate
the various uses from the current definition, and review acceptable locations for all of these uses.
The Planning Commission reviewed staffs' first draft of the definitions and locations at their April 23,
2019, meeting and provided staff with the following recommendations:
■ Dividing bealtb care facility, inpatient into two parts: assisted living/nursing home type facilities and
hospitals.
■ Allow assisted living/nursing home type facilities in high density residential districts but not
hospitals.
■ Keep educational uses in residential areas and not allow in commercial/industrial districts.
■ Allow residential facilities as a permitted use if housing 1-6 beds and as a conditional use for
housing 7-16 beds.
■ Include language to support religious institutions as a secondary/accessory use to permitted or
conditional uses in commercial districts.
o The three commercial districts would be amended to allow religious institutions as an
accessory use with the following limitations: worship services shall be limited to two days a
week, the structure shall meet building codes for religious institutions, and parking stalls must
be verified by city staff.
The attached spreadsheet outlines proposed locations of the various uses and what process each
location/use would require, such as permitted vs. conditional uses.
