Commission denies proposed assisted‑living home in PD‑77 after neighborhood opposition and HOA concerns
Summary
The commission voted 5–0 to deny a permit for a 12‑resident assisted‑living facility at 4261 Morning Glory Parkway (PD‑77). Applicant Kirk Perry said he planned to operate a small home; neighbors and first responders expressed concerns about traffic, septic, HOA rules and emergency response times.
Commissioners denied a specific‑use permit request for a group home at Lot 7, Block C in PD‑77 (4261 Morning Glory Parkway) by a 5–0 vote following a lengthy public hearing that drew many residents and petitions. Staff presented the SUP as consistent with some comprehensive plan policies for aging‑in‑place but noted the proposal sits in a country module and raised questions about compatibility; staff recommended approval of the SUP for PD‑77 but flagged neighborhood correspondence opposing the request.
Applicant Kirk Perry, who lives on the property and said he cares for his mother‑in‑law, told the commission his intent was to run a small assisted‑living home and that he might operate with fewer than 12 residents. Neighbors and several former first responders described traffic constraints, long EMS response distances, HOA covenant concerns and septic/infrastructure limitations; commissioners noted the complexity of balancing state limits on local regulation with neighborhood preservation and ultimately denied the request.
