Petitioner:
Fisk Land Surveying & Consulting Engineers, Inc for Cornerstone Rescue Mission
Staff Contact:
Vicki L. Fisher, Current Planning Manager
Location:
301 Fox Run Drive
Agenda Item Summary:
The applicant has submitted a request for a Major Amendment to a Planned Development Overlay to expand an existing group home located on the property. In 1993, a Final Planned Development Overlay (File #PD1158) was approved to allow an assisted living facility to be constructed on the property. In 2014, the Planning Commission approved a Major Amendment to the Planned Development Overlay (File #14PD033) to relocate the “Cornerstone Women’s and Children’s Group Home” from 404 Columbus Street to the subject property. The initial proposal identified 11 bedrooms with a total of 36 residents (women and children) and four staff. The proposed expansion includes adding eight additional bedrooms and expanding the number of residents to 68 with eight staff, one volunteer and one case manager. The facility will continue to provide safe, supervised living accommodations, community support and an opportunity for long-term success for low-income homeless women and their children. The goal is to reduce the incidence of homelessness by providing eligible women with transitional housing assistance leading to permanent supportive housing and independent living. The applicant has stated that the proposed facility is not a mission, detoxification center, or a battered women’s shelter. (Please see the attached “Letter of Intent” for the applicant’s complete operational plan.)
