Title
CONSIDERATION OF A PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR WP OKLAHOMA NURSING ADDITION. (LOCATED AT 501 EAST ROBINSON STREET).
Body
BACKGROUND: This item is a preliminary plat for WP Oklahoma Nursing Addition and is located at 501 East Robinson Street (north side of Robinson 280' east of Porter Avenue). This property consists of 5 acres and one lot. The existing nursing home facility was constructed in the early 60's when platting was not required for this type of development. As a result of bringing the zoning into conformity, platting is required. Planning Commission, at its meeting of October 9, 2014, recommended to City Council placing this property in RM-6, Medium Density Apartment District with Special Use for a Convalescent or Nursing Home and removing it from R-2, Two-Family Dwelling District with Permissive Use for a Convalescent or Nursing Home. At its same meeting, Planning Commission recommended approval of the preliminary plat for W.P. Oklahoma Nursing Addition.
DISCUSSION: The proposed 200 bed/68,000 square foot nursing home in this addition is expected to generate approximately 608 trips per day, 34 AM peak hour trips, and 44 PM peak hour trips. The development is proposed for location on the north side of Robinson Street between the Porter Avenue and Findlay Avenue intersections. The development is actually a renovation of an existing structure on the site. The renovation is primarily intended to be an interior renovation. Traffic capacities on Robinson Street exceed the demand for existing and proposed trips as a result of this development. No negative traffic impacts are anticipated. (Please See Attachment A)
Since the development, as proposed, generates less than 100 peak hour trips, this development was not required to submit a traffic impact study. The development will be served by the same access points along Robinson Street as the existing facility. There are no traffic impact fees associated with this development.
