In the Public Hearing Session, Marcy Ratcliff advised that the existing hospital facility located north and east of State Highway 114 and south of College contained 15.288 acres zoned Planned Commerce Development with a Site Plan designation. The purpose of the application was to amend the approved site plan to indicate future buildings and a revised parking layout that would also provide a drive to the front of the hospital. The Special Use application was to allow a future helistop pad for hospital use. The original site plan development approval was approved in 1982, with that approved site plan taking precedence over the PCD zoning. It was noted that SU88-01 approved the present location of the helistop.

Mr. John Mayfield of 518 Azalea spoke expressing concern for the additional traffic impact further development would cause and requested consideration for landscaping on the College Street frontage.

Commissioner Hinson expressed objection to allowing G.R.A.C.E. in a single family neighborhood. Following further brief discussion, Comissioner Cathy Martin made a motion to approve CU88-08, with the condition a fence on the south property line be built by July 20, 1989, that parking be required at the First Baptist Church.
