various Codes and the land use plan, acceptability of ingress and
egress drives, noise, light glares, landscaping and screening,
parking areas, compatibility with surrounding uses, proper
supervision, accessory uses and separation from similar
.e
The only standards at issue in this proceeding, in
addition to the dimensional requirements discussed above, are
facilities.
those relating to parking and compatibility with the surrounding
neighborhood.
~t is undisputed that the Dunigans do not currently
have on their property, nor are they now required to have a
sufficient number of off-street parking spaces to accommodate
The Land Development Code requires that group
care facilities with nine residents provide three parking spaces
nin'e residents.
o
plus one space per two nonresident employees or,supervisors, or,
for the Dunigans' proposed facility, a total of four off-street
o
parkinc:J spaces.
The Dunigans have
section l36.022(f) (4) a l.
indicated their desire and willingness to comply with the Code's
parkinc:J requirements and to consult with the City'S traffic
engineer as to an appropriate method for providing the four
required parking spaces.
Families residing in detached single-
family dwellings often possess more than two automobiles, and it
is not uncomnon to observe more than two parking spaces per
residence in a single-family dwelling area.
The remaining consideration at issue is whether a group
care facility housing nine elderly residents would be compatible
with the surrounding neighborhood.
As brought out by the
"
Dunigans at the hearing before the Planning and Zoning Board, the
residents of this facility lead a very quiet exiGtence and do not
o
have frequent visitors.
They do not presently disturb their
neighbors and there was no evidence that the addition of four
more residents would alter the situation or otherwise adversely
impact the surrounding area.
The Land Development Code1s
specific allowance of a group care facility as a conditional use
within certain single-family residential districts constitutes a
recognition that such a use may be a compatible use if it
