Mr. Harrington reported that this rezoning is for development of an
assisted living facility at Shenandoah Homes Retirement Village. The proposal
consists of up to 128 beds and 34 independent living units, and will include a central
community building. The staff recommended conditions on both the rezoning and
special use permit concerning the site plan, access to the property, and storm water
runoff. The petitioners agreed to all the proposed conditions. The Planning
Commission recommended approval of both the rezoning request and Special Use
Permit.
Ted Boggess, architect for the project, presented the proposal and
advised that the facility will provide 100 permanent jobs. The Reverend Burger from
Shenandoah Homes was also present to answer questions.

In response to a question from Supervisor Johnson, Reverend Burger
advised that the 501 C3 tax exempt status would be extended to the property.
Supervisor Johnson expressed concern that the County would be losing the taxes on
the property if it became 501 C3. Supervisor Harrison noted that the site plan shows
three access roads. Mr. Harrington responded that the proffers state that the only
access will be at Airport Road and the others will be for emergencies only. In
response to questions from Supervisor Eddy regarding drainage issues, Mr. Boggess
advised they were working with a local engineering firm to address any drainage
problems.
In response to questions from Supervisor Nickens, Reverend Burger
advised that the project will be developed by HCMF Corporation, who has applied to
HUD, and would be managed by a Board of Directors elected by the church.
Following discussion on whether the facility should pay a 20% service fee
in lieu of taxes, Mr. Mahoney responded that this could not be a condition to the
rezoning or permit because those conditions must relate to land use and that
Commissioner of the Revenue Wayne Compton felt that the facility should be fully
taxed. Supervisor Nickens asked Mr. Mahoney to reevaluate.
Malcolm Jamison, 5715 Santa Anita Terrace, Boxley Hills Neighborhood
Association advised that their only concern was drainage, and also requested cul-de-
sacs at the end of Sierra Drive and Santa Anita Terrace to allow vehicles to turn around
instead of backing down these streets. Otherwise, he. requested that the two streets be
joined together. In response to an iRquiry from Supervisor Eddy, Mr. Harrington
268

advised that to provide cul-de-sacs, Shenandoah Homes would need to provide the
land and there is no land available.
Several Board members expressed concern about approving the request
because of it's 501 C3 tax exempt status. Supervisor Eddy expressed support for the
project.
Following discussion on the possibility of postponing the rezoning for 60
days to review the request further, Supervisor Johnson moved to deny the ordinance
