Public Notice Certification: Published in the Boulder Daily Camera on February 22, 2015. Posted in City Hall, Public Library, Recreation Center, Courts, and Police Building on February 20, 2015. Mailed to surrounding property owners and property posted on February 20, 2015. Staff Report of Facts and Issues: Robinson presented from Power Point: • Final PUD and GDP amendment to allow for a new 44,000 sf, 48 beds, skilled rehabilitation facility at 1107 Century Drive, located in Centennial Valley Business Park. • It is located between McCaslin and Centennial Parkway, behind the Centennial Pavilion Lofts. • Property is zoned Planned Community Zone District - Commercial (PCZD-C) zone district. It is governed by the Centennial Valley General Development Plan, last modified in 2005. • The GDP designates the area including 1107 Century as "Parcel G," with allowed uses limited to research, office, and retail. The proposed medical facility does not fall under one of those allowed uses. The applicant is requesting to amend the GDP to designate 1107 Century as "Parcel G2," with an authorized use of "institutional," which would allow the requested use. The proposed use is for a skilled nursing facility for patients needing physical therapy or post -surgery rehabilitation for short stays (days or weeks) but not long term residents. • The 2013 Comprehensive Plan update designates 1107 Century as "urban special district." The Comprehensive Plan indicates special districts should include a mix of uses tailored to the specific area, including institutional. The Centennial Valley special district currently includes mostly office uses. The addition of an institutional use such as a skilled rehab facility would integrate well into the area while adding to the mix of uses and complying with the Comprehensive Plan. • SITE PLAN: The proposed site plan includes a single building with a 22,000 square foot footprint. The building is located in the northwest corner of the lot, and faces southeast. The building, parking, and driveways are proposed to cover 50% of the site. The
