Staff has received several inquiries from social service providers regarding the provision of services and establishment of related facilities in residential land use districts. Social service providers locate where they are best able to serve their clients, and often select residential areas. Most of the uses are not permitted in the residential land use districts. Staff believes that some uses may be appropriate in certain neighborhoods,but not in others. Through a Conditional Use Permit, the Planning Commission can evaluate social service uses/facilities requests at noticed public hearings. The Planning Commission can approve requests, or deny if the use is not appropriate at a given location. Through a Conditional Use Permit, conditions of approval can be included, as necessary. i Staff brought the issue to the Legislative Review Committee for discussion. At its meeting of January 31, 2000, the Legislative Review Committee recommended that the Mayor and Common Council initiate an amendment to the Development Code. FINANCIAL IMPACT Staff estimates that preparation of a Development Code Amendment will cost approximately $2000. This includes legal advertisements and copying charges. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Mayor and Common Council direct staff to initiate an amendment to the Development Code to establish social service uses/facilities in multi- family land use districts.
