Review and Recommendation: |
Barnes Family Services has been in operation since 2017 at this location. In 2017, the Day Treatment for Adults (DTA) program for adults with special needs received Use Permit approval for 3-years. The DTA program teaches life skills in nutrition, personal hygiene, fitness, social skills and other life skills. Activities include field trips to parks, zoos, movies, and libraries, to name a few. All clients are picked up and driven home by staff using company vans. There are no walk-in customers. On-site parking is adequate for staff and company vans and no client drives to the business. Traffic generated from the business is minimal.
Planning staff recommends no further time condition due to the compatibility of the land use and no known impacts to the other surrounding businesses.
