Summary

Council approved a rezone and implementation-plan amendment to allow a 64-unit memory care facility (eight homes) as the second phase of an Agrace dementia village, with security fencing, themed courtyards and phased construction starting this fall and an estimated completion in August 2027 for phase 1 and later for phase 2.

Council approved an ordinance to amend PDD/SIP zoning for a proposed Agrace dementia-village development at 5395 East Sheryl Parkway that will add a 64-unit memory-care village in eight homes and associated community spaces. Planning staff described tree removal (73 trees in phase 2), landscaping plans, and dark-sky lighting adjustments; representatives said perimeter fencing would be residential-style and provide secure outdoor spaces for residents.

Developer representatives answered council questions about perimeter security and whether some amenities (like an onsite market) would be restricted to residents, noting family and staff would be able to use some community amenities. The ordinance passed by voice vote.
