The Crown Point City Planning Commission approved petition 25-16 for site development of a second 2 Hearts assisted‑living facility on Lot 5 of Feather Rock Professional Office Park at 1550 South Feather Rock Drive.

Attorney Adam Swarden and petitioner Eddie McCracken told the commission the project is the next phase of the 2 Hearts senior facility expansion; the owners operate an existing assisted‑living facility adjacent to the site. Planning staff said the parcel received variances at the February 24 Board of Zoning Appeals hearing to reduce parking by three spaces and to allow encroachments for a drive aisle and access road; those variances were already granted and were cited in the staff report.

"Petitioner is proposing to construct a second multi tenant living facility known as 2 Hearts for Seniors," planning staff said, adding that the site plan had been reviewed by Fire, Utilities, Streets, Engineering and Public Works and met minimum zoning and subdivision code requirements. Staff recommended approval.

Commissioners asked about exterior materials (petitioner said the building would use the same materials with a different color scheme to complement the existing facility), parking (staff confirmed the variance took effect and the existing facility has not experienced parking issues), and intersection improvements (staff said coordination with Streets and emergency services had led to a recommendation for a controlled intersection northwest of the site to aid safety and access). The petitioner and staff said plans include erosion control measures during construction.

A motion to approve petition 25-16 with staff comments passed on a roll-call vote. The petitioner must continue to coordinate with city departments on infrastructure extensions, traffic controls and construction-period erosion controls as the project moves forward.
