Currently, Sterling House and Clare Bridge have about 55 employees on the books. These employees are not working all at one time, as the two facilities have around -the -clock shifts.

The applicant was unable to comment or speculate regarding another company's intentions. 8. (City Planner) This site is located in the Medium Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood District and long-term care facilities are considered a secondary use. Being less than 10 acres in size, the development plan must demonstrate how it contributes to the overall mix of land uses within the surrounding area without being required to provide a mix of land uses within the development. 9. 1 live in one of the 16 houses that utilize Rule Drive to get to Lemay Avenue.
