The current zoning on the property is community commercial and residential estate.

And the applicant is seeking a planned development for residential multifamily and community commercial uses for an assisted living facility.

Here staff has provided the steps or things that you should take into account for in reference to making a decision upon this particular case.

An assisted living facility is considered to be an establishment licensed by the state of Texas that furnishes furnishes furnishes and one or more uh facility, food, shelter for or for four or more persons who are unrelated to the proprietor of the establishment and provides personal care services as defined by the state of Texas.

As you can see highlighted in yellow here, this is a location map showing the current configure configuration of the light as well as the split zoning that is on the property.

As you look at this particular site, you'll notice that the property to the north across Debbie Lane is on planned development for residential single family and is currently developed as a single family single family detached community, as well as the property adjacent to it being uh zoned currently as a planned development for residential multifamily 22 units uh per acre, RMF 22.

That site is currently under development at this time.

The property to the east of the site is on planned development for uh RS for residential single family with a minimum lot size of 7500 square feet, and it is fully developed as a detached single family community.

Uh a portion of that property line is is also uh zone community commercial and developed with office uses as well as a a portion of the property line being adjacent to the city of Mansfield.

Uh the properties to the south and the west are both within the city limits of the city of Mansfield, Texas.

The proposed zoning layout for the site, uh, as we mentioned before, is that the uh site will be reoriented in this manner.

The site currently has a split zoning of RE and community commercial that is being uh uh addressed through this particular request.

The community the community commercial zoning is being pushed to the west of the site at uh at the future signalized intersection of Tabasco Trail and Debbie Lane.

There are no plans currently for the for the future community commercial portion of the property.

A courtesy notice was sent by staff to the City of Mansfield's planning department in reference to the project for any feedback that they may have in reference to the gate, in reference to the case as the site shares a property line with the city of Mansfield.

These are photo photographs of the site as it is in this current situation as well as the adjacent properties.

If we start in the top left-hand corner and we go clockwise, this is a view of the subject site as seen from Debbie Lane.

The next photograph is a view of the multifamily site that is currently under development on the other side of Debbie Lane.

That view is north.

That is the City of Mansfield City limit line where it uh connects or contacts this property in question.
