FISCAL IMPACT:
The applicant has paid the necessary application deposit and is obligated to pay supplemental fees to cover all additional costs associated with the application process.
BACKGROUND:
See Attachment A.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
In the event the proposed project is not approved, the applicant will not obtain the required General Plan Amendment, Rezoning, Minor Subdivision, Development Plan, and Land Use Permit entitlements necessary to allow the proposed Spieker Senior Continuing Care Retirement Community Project.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
This application is to establish a continuing care retirement community. Because residency at the facility will be limited to people aged 60 and above, there will be no increased demand for public school services as a result of the project. The increase in demand for childcare services will solely be a result of the anticipated employee force, and the increased need determined by a childcare needs study would be mitigated as part of the Project conditions of approval.
