Council Minutes of 5/16/2tN16 building. Councilman Orlowski expressed concern about the traffic and both -~:,, were concerned about mixing such a use into a residential setting. This was discussed at length when the Senior Residence District modification was addressed some time ago, and this Council believed that it was not wise to do that. The majority of members indicated we would not allow that; however, this proposal comes under a prior code where it was permitted. The committee recommended approval of the amended proposal by a vote of 3-0. It should be noted that a motion was made to recommend amending the plan to limit the use of the site depending upon the need far the medical office use. Input was received from the Law Director, and a suggested modification will need approval. It should be noted that, since the proposal crosses parcel lines, a lot split and consolidation plat should be required before an occupancy permit is issued. Councilman Gareau moved to approve Wellington Place, 4800 Claque Road, subject to the recommendations of the various boards and commissions, further subject to compliance with the recommendations of the City Forester as detailed in the above report, further subject to the revised lighting scheme including shielding of NEW visible lights, and further subject to the following: adherence with Section 1138.04 of the Zoning Code is required as it existed at the time of the developer's application with respect to the medical office use, it sets the following limitations in the code concerning that: "Any accessory use is permitted which is incidental to the main use, provided that it is planned and developed integrally with the main building and that it has no injurious effect on adjoining use districts, such as (1) Multipurpose senior community activity centers, common eating areas, health and counseling offices as required and permitted by the State of Qhio; craft and meeting roams, lounge areas and areas for passive and active recreation for the elderly."
