APPLICANT: Mary Lou Wieloszynski

FUTURE LAND USE: Downtown MU
EXISTING LAND USE: Office Building
EXISTING ZONING: C-1 Light Commercial
City planner Curt Henschel presented the Staff report as follows:
The applicant intends to locate an adult day care facility in an existing office building. The
program (Lou's Place) 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.
Lou's place will be a licensed adult day care facility with the capacity of up to 33 adults, and will
be open mostly from 7:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Additional hours will be available on an as needed
basis for clients with non typical work hours. There will be a minimum of two staff members at
all times, with a peak of 5 at full capacity. Lou's Place is not set up or designed for overnight
stays with bedroom facilities.
The parcel was previously used as a 2,000 square foot professional office, and shares a driveway
to the office building to the west.

Staff believes this development is consistent with the uses in the area and recommends approval
of this Conditional Use Permit request for an adult day care facility.
Commissioner Dubuss moved to recommend approval of the conditional use permit, seconded by
Commissioner Boyatt. The vote was unanimous to recommend approval for the conditional use
permit to City Council.
2. REQUEST FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
REQUESTED ACTION: Request an amendment to a CUP (Res. 2011-08) to change the
uses to a Support Center for New Beginnings within in a
R-3, Residential/Professional zoning district.
PROJECT: New Beginnings Support Center
APPLICANT/OWNER: New Beginnings of Lake County, Inc. (Steve Smith)
LOCATION: 792 East Montrose St. (west of Ambassador Cleaners & U.S. 27)
SIZE OF PARCEL: 0.43 acres
EXISTING LAND USE: Vacant building
FUTURE LAND USE: Low Density Residential
EXISTING ZONING: R-3, Residential/Professional
City planner Curt Henschel presented the Staff report as follows:
The applicant is requesting an amendment to a CUP (Res. 2011-08) for a church which was
originally approved on May 24, 2011. During the applicant's assessment of the building use,
they revised their needs and the uses for the building have changed to a support center for the
operations of New Beginnings. These new uses include the following (as shown in the CUP Site
Plan):
Top floor uses: Worship services for the clients, bible study, tutoring, counseling, job
training, bookkeeping, pastor's office, and similar uses.
Bottom floor uses: Food storage and packaging. There will be no food distribution from the
site.
Because the uses of this building have changed from strictly a church to worship and numerous
support services, the applicant has modified their variance request from all grass parking and one
paved handicap space to one handicap and three paved spaces, and three grass parking spaces,
for a total of seven spaces. If the grass spaces become an issue due to runoff or overuse,
indicating the need to pave, staff will require that they all be paved.
As with the first Conditional Use Permit, because of the limited number of parking spaces
available to the site, the staff recommends that a cap of 28 people be placed for the occupancy
load, as part of this CUP (See Section 2, #3). This number is based on the projected parking

PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION

requirements as modified in accordance with the LDC of 1 space per 4 seats/users. (22 seats - 4
seats = 6 spaces plus one HC) This includes the food storage uses on the bottom floor. All
handicap parking must be paved with access.
The previously approved variances covering building setback reductions and Landscape buffer
width reductions remain in place.
Staff recommends approval of the request for a Conditional Use Permit to allow the operation of
the New Beginning Support Center with the occupancy load limit of 28 people, unless more
property is added adjacent to the site to accommodate more, per the LDC (Section 2, # 2 and #3).
Staff further recommends that the redevelopment and construction of this site be completed in
accordance with Section 1, #12 (6 months to obtain permits, and one year for completion).
Commissioner Boyatt moved to recommend approval of the conditional use permit, seconded by
Commissioner Proli. The vote was unanimous to recommend approval for the conditional use
permit to City Council.
3. REQUEST FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
REQUEST:
Request a Conditional Use Permit to allow a commercial shopping center
over 20,000 sq. ft., within a C-2 General Commercial Zoning District

will be off Hooks Street.
Phase II will be built at a future date when a tenant is identified and will have a maximum 34,000
sq. ft. on 4.34 acres.

The site is well served by the transportation network and will have access from Sandy Grove
Ave. on the north, Sandhill View Blvd. on the east and Hooks St. on the south. The project will
have a screen wall provided for the loading area backing up to Hooks Street, which will also
shield the compactor and some parking.
There is one variance from the LDC requested in conjunction with this Conditional Use Permit:
➢ To allow for the absence of a landscape buffer along internal property lines — Sec. 118-37
(d) (1).
Staff believes this development is consistent with the uses in the area and recommends approval
of the Conditional Use Permit request for a two -phased commercial shopping center with over
20,000 sq. ft. within a C-2 General Commercial Zoning District, with the Conditional Use Permit
conditions as provided.
Commissioner Boyatt moved to recommend approval of the conditional use permit; seconded by
Commissioner Proli. The vote was unanimous to recommend approval for the conditional use
permit to City Council.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 7:30 pm.

ANALYSIS
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to allow a professional
office for a travel business in an R-3-A Residential/Professional District. Office uses
and similar uses are designated as requiring a CUP within the R-3-A district.
This site was previously granted a CUP in 2002 but the owner at that time did not
complete the required work to the site and the CUP was voided.
The new owner and applicant are proposing to utilize the 1,302.8 square foot building
and add a 481 sq. ft. addition for a total of 1,783.8 sq. ft. No residential uses are
adjacent to the site.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff believes this area is suitable this type of use and recommends APPROVAL of the
request for a CUP to allow a professional office for a travel business.

Detailed Description of request (What are you proposing to do and why is it appropriate
for this location? Attach additional page is necessary.
We propose add 19' to the rear of the existing building, relocate the driveway from the west side of the _
structure to the east side with parking in the rear. Currently the office is not open to the public therefore
parking is predominately for office staff only and will not affect any increase in traffic. The new proposed
building and landscaping will provide a substantial improvement to the land use without detracting from
the surrounding area.
