• • Mr. Jeff Smyser December 13, 2006 Page 7 Comforts of Home Residential Element – Medium Density Residential A combination of senior and assisted living housing types and styles are proposed for Comforts of Home, providing a variety of life -cycle options to residents and homeowners. The development proposal is based directly on the approved Comprehensive Plan. The housing types and densities are consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan. Townhomes CORE is pleased with the amount of interest from quality residential builders seeking to build on this Site. CORE proposes the construction of 24 attached townhomes. Preliminary market response leads CORE to believe that these townhomes may provide workforce housing to housing for empty nesters. The townhomes will be located in areas that provide a buffer between the existing low - density housing and the proposed assisted living facility Assisted Living Comforts of Home provides assisted living, memory care and respite care in a professionally managed, thoughtfully designed setting. Comforts of Home / CORE propose 83 senior living units. Comforts of Home's senior communities are designed to be as home -like as possible. Comforts of Home tailor the level of care to each resident's needs, providing the right help at the right time to enhance each individual's ability to live as independently as possible. The philosophy is simple — to provide quality care to seniors at an competitive price and with a personal touch. The company's mission is to provide living accommodations for seniors where they are happy, comfortable and secure, and looked after with care and respect. Comforts of Home Commercial Element Comforts of Home will provide a neighborhood scale retail and commercial services, including a grocery. These are convenience services for new residents and the existing neighborhood. The proposed grocery includes a fuel island feature. This feature will allow grocery consumers to purchase fuel at discounted prices. This type of fuel service is not a destination service; rather upwards of 80% of these fuel users are already on Site having purchased their groceries. Neighborhood services are envisioned for the development of the smaller retail pads. Potential businesses could be a deli -style restaurant, dry cleaner, professional services such as accounting or insurance, etcetera. These elements are consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan for the area and also with the City's recently released citizen survey titled "2005 Quality of Life Survey ".
