Paul Wood, Planning Director, stated that the subject parcel is located at the northeast corner of Cherry Street and Pierce Street and is occupied by Neon Glass Works, a division of Zeon Corporation. The Plat restriction on Outlot A only allowed for construction of parking or landscaped areas. This ordinance amends Ordinance No. 501, Series 1976, removing Outlot A from the geologic hazard area. A letter from the State Department of Natural Resources stated that there were no shales ever located on the subject property. Mayer moved that Council place Ordinance No. 1269, Series 1997, out for publication and set the public hearing for November 5, 1997, seconded by Howard. All in favor. DISCUSSION/DIRECTION - DELCARE ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY - 4.5 ACRES IMMEDIATELY NORTH OF CENTENNIAL CENTER EAST OF MCCASLIN BOULEVARD Paul Wood, Planning Director, stated that Delcare, Incorporated had submitted Preliminary Plat and PUD plans, as well as a Special Review Use application for a proposed 52-bed assisted living facility to be located west of McCaslin Boulevard, between Copper Ridge Apartments and the Centennial Center retail development. The property is zoned CC. The structure would be single-story with a roof line at 25'. Landscaping would be nearly 40% with fencing on all sides of the property. Access to the property would be via a right-in/right-out curb cut from McCaslin Boulevard aligning with the approved Century Retail Center on the west side of McCaslin. Given the limited access the property would have from McCaslin, staff requested that the Plat for this property create an access easement to the south that would align with the driveway between Centennial Automotive and the west end of the retail building. No land dedication was proposed. The applicant would pay a cash-in-lieu payment equal to 12% of the certified appraised value of the land at the time of Final Plat approval. Davidson called for the applicant's presentation. Molly Thomasch, Thomasch & Associates, 695 South Colorado Boulevard, #480, Denver, Colorado 80222, Planning Consultant for Delcare, Inc. for their Clare Bridge facility proposed for Louisville, stated that they wanted this facility in a residential setting as it is residential in nature. They had a homeowners meeting, for which 65 notices had been sent, at the Recreation Center. Mark Lockwood, representing Delcare, Inc., stated that they are the development partner for ALS in the Colorado region. They not only acquire sites for ALS, but they are the general contractor for the buildings. ALS is the largest provider of assisted living care in the United States. This facility will be strictly Alheimers and Dementia care. He spoke of how the facility would be a buffer between the commercial properties to the south and the residential to the north and east. Construction will take 9 - 12 months to complete. He reviewed the facility and its security. He commented that they would not be opposed to a use restriction on the property. He stated that none of the people living at the facility would be allowed outside the facility unsupervised. Davidson called for Council comments and questions. 4
