The existing buildings on site consist of independent living elderly housing units under individual ownership. The proposed project will be built in phases with the First Phase being the assisted living facility. The independent living units will be completed in three separate phases. The assisted living facility will contain a maximum of 17 residents in a combination of single and double sleeping rooms. All residents will dine at a central dining room.
