The property is currently zoned M-1 Planned Industrial. Medical clinics are permitted in any zoning district upon the Planning & Zoning Commission's approval of a conditional use permit. The applicant proposes to operate a mental health facility that will house two separate programs, a day program and an evening program. The facility would not house overnight patients. She explained that the use meets all minimum standards. The applicant has told Staff that most of the patients will be picked up at home and brought to the facility. She said that unless the public hearing brings to light any new information indicating potential negative impacts, Staff would recommend approval of the site plan and use request. Commissioner Kaiser wanted clarification of the type of medical clinic proposed. Ms. Anderson said that is would be a counseling and mental health clinic, not a typical "medical" clinic that treats physical illnesses and emergencies. Acting Chairman Horlen opened the public hearing. Ms. JoAnne D. Mandel, 4445 N. Braeswood Blvd in Houston, approached the Commission and explained that the clinic is currently located on Southwest Parkway in College Station. They wanted to move locations to expand to include children (Jr. High and older). They are currently working with schools in the area to help with children who have problems. The sessions for the children would be around 5 hours each day. The hours of operation would be from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through P&ZMinutes February 3, 2000 Page I oft Friday. She said that they would not be leasing the warehouse portion of the building. The activities would be held indoors, with the exception of breaks throughout the day. Commissioner Parker asked if they would treat patients with behavioral or violence problems, because he was concerned with the surrounding property owners and the future developments surrounding the property. Ms. Mandel said that there would be no violent patients. She explained that they were not working with juvenile criminals. She stressed that there would never be overnight patients. She said that most of her clients do not have transportation, therefore there will be vans to pick up the patients and return them to their homes.

Commissioner Floyd moved to approve the conditional use permit, subject to no overnight usage. Commissioner Parker seconded the motion, which passed unopposed (5-0).
