Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council

THRU: Laurence Bradley, AICP, Growth Management Director
DATE:

RE:

Resolution 2020-59, granting a conditional use to allow an assisted living facility to be known as ‘Hampton Manor of Palm Bay’ in IU (Institutional Use District) zoning on property located in the vicinity south of Koutnik Road, between Ruffin and Buffing Circles (20.19 acres) (Case CU-30-2020, DSG, LLC and Gus & Son, LLC) (Quasi-Judicial Proceeding).

DSG, LLC and Gus & Son, LLC (represented by Jake Wise of Construction Engineering Group, LLC) have submitted for a Conditional Use to allow for an Assisted Living Facility. The property is in the vicinity southeast of Eldron Boulevard SE and Koutnik Road SE, between Ruffin and Buffing Circles SE. The proposed project, Hampton Manor of Palm Bay, will only occupy the southern 7.65 acres of the 20.16-acre parcel.

The current proposal replaces the 60-lot single-family residential subdivision called Las Palmas that was approved for the site in 2006. The 2013 conditional use (Resolution 2013-42) for a 256-bed assisted living facility called Las Palmas and extended in 2014 (Resolution 2014-35) was allowed to expire in 2016. The current proposal for Hampton Manor ALF will be a single-story facility containing a total of 94 residential units, and its sole access will be from a driveway that extends from the eastern terminus of Pilgrim Lane SE.

 

City Council has the authority and right to impose any additional and justifiable safeguards, and/or conditions, to ensure that the facility operates safely and harmoniously with its surroundings. The developer shall pay their Proportionate Fair Share of the cost for all necessary traffic improvements and is required to connect to the City’s water and sewer system.
