The purpose of the Senior Living District is to provide for
a flexible concept of congregate living and development of housing
to specifically meet the changing needs of the Town's population,
including the provision of assistance with daily living activities
and other complementary services. The Senior Living District allows
assisted living, memory care assisted living, and senior independent
living as principal uses by special permit. The district also allows,
by special permit, certain commercial accessory uses, but only if
located within an assisted living facility, to ensure services in
harmony with assisted and senior independent living are conveniently
available.
To qualify for consideration as a development in the Senior
Living District, the property shall:
A. Have frontage on Indian River Road between Marsh Hill Road and Prindle
Hill Road;
B. Be served by public water and sewer; and
C. Meet the standards contained in this Article
XIC.
The following uses are permitted uses in the Senior Living District:
A. Off-street parking facilities.
B. Signs as provided in Article
XIX.
C. Accessory uses customary with and incidental to any aforesaid permitted
uses.
The following uses may be permitted by the Commission in the
Senior Living District by granting of special permit approval:
A. Elderly assisted living residential facility.
B. Senior independent living dwelling units, subject to §
383-96.27.
C. Accessory uses customary with and incidental and subordinate to any
aforesaid special uses, within the same building(s).
In a development consisting entirely of senior independent dwelling
units, at least 10% of the total number of such independent units
shall be affordable to persons or households earning 80% or less of
the area median income. The maximum sales price or rent shall be restricted
for 40 years, or the life of the units, whichever is longer, using
the methodology for maximum housing payment calculations outlined
in Section § 8-309-8 of the Regulations of Connecticut State
Agencies based on the area median income.
