Associate Planner Cole addressed the Hearing presenting an application for a Zone Change, S. Cole
Use Permit and Design Review for the Silverado Senior Living Alzheimer Facility, stating that Comments
when the Development Code was approved In 2005, a medical services extended care use
was not included in the Neighborhood Center Zone. The four Neighborhood Center Zones
that would be affected by the zone change are the corners of Azusa and Sierra Madre, Azusa
Avenue and Tenth Street, Gladstone Avenue and Lark Ellen Avenue, and Gladstone Street
and Citrus Avenue. She defined a medical services extended care use as a residential
facility providing nursing and health related care as a primary use with inpatient beds;
examples are board and care homes, convalescent homes, and skilled nursing facilities; it
does not include hospitals, clinics or long term personal cares that don't specialize In
medical assistance. A use permit will be required along with the zone change in order that
the application be reviewed to make sure it is compatible with existing uses. If this is
approved, the applicant is requesting a use permit to allow the expansion of the existing
facility in the Neighborhood Center Zone; they would like to add 12,800 square feet, a 34
bed addition on the south side of the project side, which will be a two story but because of
the change of grade to the existing building, the proposed construction site is 10 feet lower;
the second story will be level with the existing building and no views will be obstructed.
Planning Commission recommended approval with the addition of condition number 22 in
which the applicant shall provide a sidewalk on the perimeter of the property along Sierra
Madre Avenue and Ranch Road; the Engineering Division does support extending the existing
sidewalk along Sierra Madre with the sidewalk wrapping around San Gabriel Canyon Road
and ending at the corner of San Gabriel Canyon Road and Ranch Road. She then responded
to questions of Mayor Pro -Tem Rocha regarding the addition of beds and parking.
Mr. Doug Pancake, representing the applicant, requested reconsideration of condition D. Pancake
number 22, stating that it will require building a retaining wall, etc. Comments
Ms. Andrea Cruz addressed the Public Hearing expressing her opposition to the zone A. Cruz
change, and asked why an EIR wasn't done. She further stated that a GPA is $10,000 while Comments
a minor use permit is $900 and objects to the phasing process.
Mr. Jorge Rosales addressed the Public Hearing in favor of the project and of condition J. Rosales
number 22; he expressed surprise that the applicant was opposed to the condition and Comments
