City Planner Curt Henschel presented the Staff report as follows:
The applicant intends to locate an adult day care facility in an office building. The 2,050 square
foot unit will be the new home for the Lake County Adult Activity Center. The center will
provide a safe place to go during the week to socialize, participate in supervised activities, and
receive physical care and monitoring as needed, all while retaining as much independence as
possible.
Lake County Adult Activity Center was previously approved as a Conditional Use Permit in
2009 at 1172 Grand Highway. This Grand Highway location has now become too small for their
growing business, and now proposes to relocate to this site off of Mohawk Rd. as their new
potential home.
Lake County Adult Activity Center will be a licensed adult day care facility with the capacity of
up to 30 adults. Hours of operation will be Monday through Friday from 8:00am to 5:00pm and
three employees will staff the facility throughout the day.
