Minutes of the Special Meeting of Council Monday, November 7, 2016 Page 3 The request is to rezone to office-laboratory as approved by the electorate. There would be a separate administrative due process where a use variance pursuant to Section 12 of the Charter would be requested and if the use variance to allow for assisted living is granted, we would come in with full plans that would be presented to the Planning Commission consistent with what is going to be presented tonight. I go back to the initial request made several years ago, by the same doctor, Dr. Moyal. There were 3 stories. We were dealing with the Administration, Building Department and others, it was reduced from 3 stories to 2 stories. There were originally 80 units back in around 2000 that we requested. It is now 52 units. The square footage has been reduced from what was originally submitted, 75,000 square feet to 45,000 square feet. It required a 100 foot setback by State law from the gas well that is on the site. It sits right next to Fisher's Tavern and in front of the University Hospital system medical building. It is also owned by the same property owner, Dr. Moyal of the Georgian Medical Arts II, LLC. The request itself, again, is to allow the electorate; it will require 5 votes of Council, to put on the ballot sometime in 2017, whether it be February, May election, whatever Council will decide, to allow the electorate, again based upon the referendum zoning requirement in the Charter to allow the rezoning of the single-family use to the requested office-laboratory use consistent with the zoning that exists on the other adjacent parcel owned by the same property owner. If that is successful, at that point, under Charter, Section 12, a use variance may be requested to allow the assisted living to be built consistent with the plans that are going to be discussed tonight by Tim Mulle, Project Architect and there would be obviously full plans to be reviewed by the Planning Commission so there would be significant administrative review. There would be a Development Agreement entered into so that there is no question about what is going to be built, what it is going to look like, and how it is going to interface with the existing medical office building as well as the surrounding properties. You will hear from Dr. Moyal. He has been in the community for a number of years. He has a number of patients that live in Mayfield Village. He is a member of the community. We are submitting plans to use as transparent as we possibly can so that level of comfort is as high as possible. There are homes on 91. I am sure there are residents here. There has not been a new single-family house built since at least 2000. It doesn't work. This site does not work for a single-family home. No one is going to build asingle-family home on this site in front of a medical office building and next to Fisher's Tavern. We are in a quandary. If the existing zoning does not work, what zoning does? We are suggesting office-laboratory consistent with the use owned by the same property owner, developed by the same property owner immediately behind and again with assisted living which would have to be approved pursuant to a use variance which the Charter has recently allowed. Hopefully I have explained what we are intending to do. Council President Saponaro asked, is Dr. Moyal going to speak? Mr. Fisher replied, at this point Mr. Mulle is going to make a presentation.
