It is anticipated that residential use will continue in the area as suggested by the Plan. Uses: Operation of the medical office would be restricted to the applicants only (Proffered Condition 1 and CPC Condition 1). Generally, the applicants have indicated that they treat patients suffering from severe muscle pain in the home. The applicants note that, typically, between three (3) and five (5) patients are seen on weekdays and two (2) patients are seen on Saturday mornings. A maximum of two (2) patients would be permitted on the property at one-time, excluding persons transporting patients may also provided they do not loiter outside of the home.

(Proffered Condition 3 and CPC Condition 2) Employees: Proffered Condition 2 would limit the number of employees, other than family members who live on the property, to one (1).

The total area within the dwelling devoted to the use would be a maximum of 600 square feet.

The Commission only supported a three (3) year time limit. (CPC Condition 8) CONCLUSION The proposed zoning and land use do not conform to the Northern Area Plan which suggests the property is appropriate for medium density residential use of 1.51 to 4 units per acre. In addition, the proposed land use is not representative of, nor compatible with, existing and anticipated area residential development. Given these considerations, denial of this request is recommended. CASE HISTORY Applicant (9/15/09): The applicant submitted an additional proffered condition. 6 10SN0105-OCT28-BOS-RPT Planning Commission Meeting (9/15/09): The applicant did not accept the recommendation. Messrs. Bass and Gulley suggested the applicants should consider relocating the business to nearby office areas. Messrs. Gulley and Hassen expressed concern relative to protection of the neighborhood from commercial encroachment and suggested the applicants diligently pursue relocation of the medical office to an area zoned for office use. Mr. Waller stated that the use was consistent with limitations for a permitted home occupation with the exception of the area of the dwelling devoted to the business and use of one (1) employee who does not live on the property. He noted that the community was generally supportive of the use, with some citizens interested in a time limitation for approval. Mr. Waller stated that he could support the proposed increase in the area of the dwelling being utilized and that the residential integrity of the neighborhood would be further protected by precluding outside employees and by limiting approval of the use from four (4) years to three (3) years. On motion of Mr. Waller, seconded by Mr. Hassen, the Commission recommended approval subject to the conditions on page 2. The Commission recommended that the proffered conditions on page 3 not be accepted. AYES: Messrs. Gulley, Brown, Hassen and Waller. NAY: Mr. Bass. The Board of Supervisors, on Wednesday, October 28, 2009 beginning at 6:30 p.m., will take under consideration this request. 7 10SN0105-OCT28-BOS-RPT 7t /\ r i/ _~ '~ ~~~ • ~ `~ I `` ~ ~ i _ ~ / _~ -/ ~N ~ i ~ ~ ~ N O N~ ~ ~ ~ ~ y ~ Y y N 7) ~ yU a ~ Q o w C7 2 V U U U ¢ ¢ Q U C U N 1 C ~ ` U U ~~ ~~ wn / z ~ cn U J U N O r 0 ~- Z V 0 ~ ~Q i/ a~ O LL ~n M 0 0
