STAFF REPORT
Item: Public Hearing and Consideration of a Conditional Use Permit, for a medical
clinic, InnerWisdom Counseling Centers to be located at 1726 Harvey Mitchell Parkway
South. (0-2)
Applicant: JoAnne D. Mandel
Item Summary: The applicant is proposing to establish a mental health service and
clinic in the 9,000 square foot building once occupied by Texas Digital Systems. The
property is currently zoned M-1 Planned Industrial. Medical clinics are permitted in any
zoning district upon the Planning and 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 will not have
overnight patients.
Item Background: The site was zoned M-1 in 1976 and has been used as a planned
industrial site for several years. The intent of the M-1 district is to assure that the use and
site are compatible with the surrounding uses. The subject property is fairly isolated as
adjacent tracts to the west and south, zoned R-1 and A-O respectfully, are undeveloped.
Staff Recommendations:
Section 14 of the Zoning Ordinance authorizes the existence of conditional uses. The
Commission may permit a conditional use subject to appropriate conditions and
safegards, when after public notice and hearing the Commission finds that: (Staff
comments are in italics.)
1. "The proposed use meets all the minimum standards established in the ordinance
for the type of use proposed."
The use meets the minimum standards. In addition, the applicant has
stated that most of the patients will be picked up at home and brought
to the proposed facility.
2. "That the proposed use meets the purpose and intent of the ordinance and is in
harmony with the development policies and goals and objectives as embodied in
the Comprehensive Plan for Development of the City."
3. "That the proposed use will not be detrimental to the health, welfare, and safety
of the surrounding neighborhood or its occupants, not be substantially or
permanently injurious to neighboring property."
❖ The public hearing is the opportunity to hear such concerns.
"The commission may impose additional reasonable restrictions or conditions to carry out
the spirit and intent of the ordinance and to mitigate adverse effects of the proposed use.
These requirements may include, but are not limited to, increased open space, loading and
parking requirements, height restrictions, additional landscaping, and additional
improvements such as curbing, sidewalks, and screening."
Unless the public hearing brings to light any new information indicating potential
negative impacts, Staff recommends approval of the site plan and use request.
Commission Action Options: Approve, Approve with conditions, Deny, Table or Defer
Action.
