Zoning Conformance Determination - Senior Care Facility - Applicant: Christopher Garwood, Pacific Union.

Once the Development Plan and Design Review application is complete, staff will schedule and notice a public hearing before the Planning Board to review the applicant's proposed site and landscape design (development plan) and the proposed architecture (design review) for the facility.
