Recommendations/Options/Action Requested: |
|
|||
|
Approve a Text Amendment, TA-18-00121, to the City of Lawrence Land Development Code, to amend the Public and Institutional Use District and adopt on first reading Ordinance No. 9467. |
|
|||
|
Executive Summary: |
The proposed Text Amendment was initiated by the Planning Commission at their February 21, 2018 meeting to confirm the use of Group Homes in the GPI District as a permitted use.
Group Homes are a type of residential use. Kansas Law requires Group Homes to be permitted in any district the same as a detached Dwelling would be permitted.
This text amendment proposed changes to the Land Development Code, Chapter 20, Article 4, and Section 20-403 (Nonresidential Use Table). The proposed change includes clearly articulating that the use is permitted in the GPI District to show the use permitted outright and with approval of a Special Use Permit, depending on the intensity (size) of the use.
The Planning Commission considered the item at their April 23, 2018 meeting and voted unanimously to forward the Text Amendment to the City Commission with a recommendation for approval. |
