137 RESOLUTION: APPROVING SPECIAL PERMIT FOR 1512 E. MARKET STREET Mr. Huja explained that the facility owned by Jefferson Area Board for Aging (JABA) was previously a 40-person adult care center and now is proposed to be a senior center for up to 100 participants. Mr. Huja noted that expansion of the facility would have a financial impact on the City in that JABA wilt likely request additional funding to operate the facility which will replace the current program operating at Carver Recreation Center. ]?vk. Huja said that the Planning Commission recommended approval of the special permit because the proposed use will not have an undue adverse impact on the surrounding neighborhood, if conditions are met. Ms. Slaughter noted that approval of the special permit will not automatically increase City funding. Ms. Linda Peacock, Assistant City Manager, explained that in FY 99 the JABA Senior Center will cost $13,600 more than currently allocated to the Carver site, and staff projects a total annual cost to the Cky of $52,000 in FY 2000, more than twice the amount currently allocated in support of the Carver site. Responding to a question from Mr. Toscano, Ms. Peacock said that the Carver site will continue to be used for recreation space. Mr. Toscano made a motion to approve the special permit and Ms. Richards seconded the motion. h/fi-. Clyde Gouldman, City Attorney, recommended that conditions 3 and 4 be combined, and noted that as written, up to 99 participants would be allowed four times on weekends and evenings, and the restriction to only one evening would apply to 100 applicants.
