Subject: Discussion on the proposed text amendment language to
allow for a rehabilitation facility in the Mixed Use
District.
After extensive research I feel the following proposed zoning
text amendment language would permit an advanced high quality
rehabilitation facility in the Mixed Use Zoning District and
protect the Village from having an ordinary or substandard
facility.
Two definitions would need to be created or modified under
Chaptez 78, Article I, Section 78-4 of the Village Code of
Ordinances.
The first definition would be to define a rehabilitation
facility.
Rehabilitation facility means a pri�rate State of Florida
licensed facility that provides rehabilitation care. The
primary purpose of a rehabil�tation facility is to provide
treatment for drug and alcohol addiction and eating disorders;
however, the rehabilitation facility must be a dual diagnostic
facility staffed and equipped to provide treatment for co-
occurring disorders. Rehabilitation facilities must provide a
structured residential living environment which includes the
following features: 2�-- hour on site security; 24-hour
patient supervision by licensed nursing staff; and quality of
life services such as swimming pools, garden areas, spor�
courts, exterior patios or sitting areas, community living
areas, meditation areas, fi�ness rooms, libraries, recreation
rooms, televisions, on-site food preparation, and phone and
internet access. Rehabilitation facilities must provide for
short-term care treatment, extended care treatment and
outpatient treatment. Rehabilitation facilities shall not
offer any services for individuals with a history of violent
behavior or threats to the public health, safety and welfare
or the health, safety and welfare of other patients. The
following definitions apply to the definition of
rehabilitation facility:
1. Rehabilitation care means diagnosis and treatment for
drug and alcohol addiction, eating disorders and
associated mental health issues.

2. Private means privately owned and tunded with no use of
State or Federal funds for the operation of the facility
or care of patients.
3. Shor�-term care means a program designed for a minimum
stay of 30 calendar days.
4. Extended care treatment means an additional 30 to 60
calendar day s�ay in residential treatment after
completing the initial short-term care residential
treatment program.
5. Outpatient treatment means a program designed for
individuals who hav� participated in the short-term care
or extended care treatment program previously at the same
facility of which outpatient care is desired and who need
a structured follow-up treatment program that does not
require the clinical intensity of continued
residential/inpatient or extended care treatment program.
The second definition to be modified is the definition of
residential use.
Present definition: Residential use means use of land or
structures thereon, or a portion thereof, as a dwelling
place for one or more families or households, but not
including occupancy of a transient nature such as hotels,
motels, or timesharing rentals.
Proposed modified Definition: Residential use means use of
land or s�ructures thereon, or a portion thereof, as a
dwelling place for one or more families or households,
including residential rehabilitation facilities in the MU
mixed-use district, but not otherwise including occupancy
of a transient nature such as hotels, motels, or
timesharing rentals.
A special exception use needs to be created under Chapter 78,
Article VI, Division 2, Section 78-180 of the Village Code of
Ordinances.
Sec. 78-180. MU mixed-uge district.
(i) Sp�cial exception uses. (New Category)

square feet and a private living room, bedroom and
bathroom. The remaining ten percent of the living
units sha11 have a minimum of 500 square foot.
c. Occupant load for individual receiving treatment shall
not exceed the number of bed�ooms.
d. Rehabilitation facilities must be equipped with a
controlled space, effectively screened from public
view, for arrivals and departures of patients. This
space shall be large enough to accommodate an
ambulance for transporting patients out of the
facility.
e. The rehabilitation facility shall by separate
agreement guarantee payment to the primary fire rescue
provider for patient ambulance transport service.
g. The rehabilitation facility shall include a backup
generator system. The system shall be sized for the
building occupancy load and shall have a fuel source
suffiCient to operate the facility for a minimum of
seven days.
Parking regulations for a Rehabilitation facility needs to be
created under Chapter 78, Article X, Section 78-705 of the
Village Code of Ordinances.
Sec. 78-705. Required number of parking spaces.
(33) Rehabilitation facility: One space per patient bed.
I will be happy to answer any questions you may have, concerning
this proposed zoning text amendment.
