Review and Recommendation: |
Civitan Foundation, Inc., is a non-profit organization serving individuals with developmental disabilities since 1968. Contracted with the State of Arizona, they operate camp locations in Williams, Phoenix, and Chandler, providing various enrichment programs and activities. Programs offered at the proposed location include Day Training for Adults (DTA) and Group Supported Employment (GSE). Civitan currently serves an average of 20 clients daily at another location from which they are planning to relocate. They anticipate increasing the number of clients at the subject site to a maximum of 60, with a daily average of 40 individuals. Civitan currently transports approximately 30% of its clients and expects the rate to increase with the anticipated increase in clients. Individuals are picked up and driven home by staff using company vans. All others are dropped-off to the site between 8:00 and 8:30am and picked-up between 3:30 and 4:00pm at the passenger drop-off area in front of the building. None of the clients drive or have a need for parking. For this reason, the on-site parking of 44 spaces will be adequate for staff, visitors, and company vans. Minimal traffic is expected to be generated as a result of this use. |
