Comment on Agenda items

Two skilled medical homes have asked for permits to develop small facilities in Shoreline. The issue is that their planned population falls between the amount allowed for a single family home and an Adult Family Home, which is covered by different regulations.

Ashley House has already bought a very large, but run-down house in the Echo Lake Neighborhood (aka The Mansion). They are asking for permits to remodel and operate a medical facility. They specialize in taking care of infants and children between when Children's Hospital releases them and when they are able to return home. They expect to serve 12-15 children at a time, with 24 hour skilled nursing care.

Nursing Evolutions has expressed interest in locating a facility in Shoreline but has not yet purchased property.

The City's issue is how to amend the code in such a way that it does not open the door to uses that are contrary to the well-being of the neighborhood and it does not allow for a change in the types of activities that can currently be considered for an R-4 and R-6 neighborhood.
