Hospice Facility Zoning Discussion <br />August 1, 2012 <br />Page 2 <br />The term nursing home is not specific to only elderly people. The Mounds View code was <br />probably written with the intention of nursing homes being used for the elderly, but the <br />general effect to the neighborhood from a nursing home or hospice facility for either elderly <br />or children would be very similar. Neither facility would generate a lot of traffic or noise. <br />_Recommendation: <br />The Planning Commission should discuss the zoning acceptability for hospice uses. Staff is <br />not recommending any code amendments be made at this time. This discussion is simply to <br />help give staff direction if the group decides to look further into finding a site in Mounds View. <br />Sincerely, <br />Qlhjj&t-- <br />Heidi Heller <br />Planning Associate <br />
