    Pediatric palliative care facility as a conditional use in the R7.5 zone (work session)

    Discussed

    Assistant Development Services Director Jason Bench presented a proposed code amendment creating a new land use, Pediatric Palliative Care Facility, as a conditional use in the R7.5 zone. The change would let Brades Place use the former care facility at 370 W 500 N; the facility would have 26 beds, as the previous one did, and need state and city licensing. A neighborhood meeting raised no concerns. Council Member Jeff Lambson had raised the idea at an earlier meeting. The Planning Commission was to take it up March 15.

  2. March 28, 2023 · City Council

    Pediatric palliative care facility added to city code (public hearing)

    Approved · 6-0

    The council amended the city code to create a Pediatric Palliative Care Facility land use. It would be allowed only as a conditional use on property that already has an approved conditional use permit and site plan for a residential health care facility (or one for the elderly) and has operated as one with at least eight residents. The change would allow Brades' Place to open a pediatric facility in a residential zone. One nearby resident spoke in support.

    Moved by Council Member Tom Macdonald, seconded by Council Member Debby Lauret. Vote: 6-0; Mayor David A. Young also voted yes
