Item No. 3 (continued) John Petry, 1032A Guerrero Street, San Francisco, representing the Dolphin Park Rest Home, stated that approximately 11% of the population is 65 years or older; that the percentage will increase; that the elderly are expected to live on for another 11 to 18 years and are in good health and able to carry on most activities; and that the state having recognized this fact has declared it to be a policy of the state to permit and develop residential care facilities for the elderly. He referred to several drawings of the subject property to describe the proposed project, explaining that it is designed to allow elderly people to live in a homelike environment, and is not intended as a nursing home. Mr. Petry also showed slides of a similar arrangement presently in existence in Foster City. In response to questions, Mr. Petry stated that it was his understanding that the addition is designed to conform with the rest of the housing in the area, and that an increase in parking requirements is not anticipated. Bruce Albin, 569 Compass Circle, suggested that approvals were hasty, and reviews and inspections cursory, and asked that the project be held up. Robert Slusser, 540 Cringle, stated his concern is that single family homes are being converted to other uses and that this is a matter of zoning; that he is concerned as to whether this is evidence of a trend. Mr. Slusser indicated in reply to question by Council that he realizes that the State law preempts the authority of cities over this kind of residential unit, but was concerned regarding the use that might be made if the property is later sold. Georqe Paven, 605 Marlin Court, expressed concern regarding the effect on the neighborhood, citing a facility which had been on Anchor Circle and which he said was noisy. Mayor Britschgi invited anyone else present who wished to speak to do so. No one wished to speak. M /S: Stangel /Rhodes to close the public hearing. Carried unanimously by voice vote and public hearing closed at 8:45 p.m. Discussion by Council followed, and Mr. Malkemus commented and replied to questions regarding dimensions of the properties, and the additions to the residence; that he had taken dimensions of the addition, and the lot coverage is below 40 %. Planning Director Schroeter added that his staff had reviewed the plans and that the lot coverage calculations were in the range of 38.7 - 39.6 %, but that to be accurate, it would be necessary to see the actual foundation, the studs in place, and the finishing material on the dwelling, but that they have gone over the plans more thoroughly than on any other project that had come before them.
