I live on this street just a few houses down and am not thrilled with this idea. I have a large family with multiple kids and definitely worry about safety for them and the overall well-being of the neighborhood. Property values are also a huge issue and I think this establishment could find a much better location.

Communication with the community and the approval/closing procedures have been poorly handled. How well can we expect Serenity Peaks Recovery Center LLC handle security issues? Stop this expansion.

This is a residential area not commercial. The rehab facility must go in an commercially zoned neighborhood.

I do NOT want this rehab facility in my neighborhood!! I saw in my old neighborhood how a Girls' Home kept expanding in the neighborhood. They make lots of money and WILL expand! We need to STOP them before it gets out of hand!

We have lived in this neighborhood for 26 years. During that time we have experienced significant changes. The changes have manifested in shootings car wreaks and theft of property. I was unaware of the purchase made by Serenity and now have a possible reason I have had so many strangers walking by my house at odd times of the day and night. I do not think the location for 5 next to bars is a good plan and increasing it to 14 is frightening. Profit is the motive and staffing is expensive...I see disasters in the making for those of us who live in this area. Please hold them to their original number. Maybe they will rethink their purchase and put this rehab unit in a more appropriate area. Thank you

This is too close to a well established residential neighborhood. A facility that would house this high number should be located closer to businesses not peoples homes.

Request the City deny the increase of resident capacity from 5 to 14 residents. Current staffing of only 2 supervisors per shift, and almost triple the residents, will JEOPARDIZE SECURITY and SAFETY not only within the facility, but also off the grounds in our neighborhood. Serenity Peaks Recovery Center already has two separate facilities in our city and knew or should have known they were going to request a resident increase - even when they purchased this property on October 25, 2017 without community knowledge. RE-ZONING from “residential” lowers our property’s fair market price and also lowers the well-being of our families; we will be in JEOPARDY. While going off-site, residents will add to LOITERING in the area, there will be INCREASED TRAFFIC by them, friends, and families, and they will add more TRASH in our area including more NOISE. CRIMINAL ACTIVITY will increase and escalate including Saint Patrick Church across the street. With an increase to 14 residents and insufficient staffing, public trust is compromised. We pray you will deny this request by Serenity Peaks Recovery Center, LLC to increase resident capacity.

This property is in my backyard. I have already seen the increase of vehicle traffic, music and noise. I can only imagine what it would be like with the increase. I am concerned with the possibility of crime and the decrease in my property value. As others have pointed out, there are at least two bars that are in close proximity and that does not sound like good business planning regardless of what they say the controls are. I am also concerned that if they get this increase what will be next. I am totally against this expansion and hope that you see that this is not a good fit for our neighborhood. Thank you.

I am very much opposed to this expansion. Studies of residential drug-alcohol rehabilitation treatment center and Studies has find evidence that residential drug-alcohol rehabilitation treatment centers adversely impact the price of neighboring homes. Studies find that homes within close proximity of a drug-alcohol treatment center sell for approximately 8% less than otherwise comparable homes that are located further away. Furthermore, studies has find that the market differentiates between potential risks that nearby treatment centers may carry with a reduction in home values by as much as 17%. Thus, I have valid concerns that the presence of a treatment center will be accompanied by additional unemployed or even homeless addicts on the street near the area in which the treatment center will be located. Furthermore, as a resident in my community I am right to be concerned about safety and unpleasant behavior on the street. I am highly concerned that the proposed increase of number for this residential drug-alcohol rehabilitation treatment center will bring an increase in crime.

Although I am in favor of people receiving drug rehab treatment, I am not in favor of allowing over more than a few rehab residents, and certainly not the proposed number, due to the type of neighborhood the rehab facility would be located in. Neighborhood bars and a brewery are within easy walking distance, and could pose a temptation to the rehab residents. Additionally, the residents could pose a danger to locals, including families with children. Such a rehab facility should not be located in a residential neighborhood, but rather in an area properly zoned for such a facility.

It does not seem safe or even fair to the families in the neighborhood near the Serenity Peaks Recovery Center for the number of drug and alcohol rehabilitation residents in the Serenity Peaks Recovery Center to nearly triple from five to fourteen.

I feel if the City Planning Commission approves this request by Serenity Peaks Recovery Center, LLC (CPC CU 17-00125) it will have a detrimental effect this residential neighborhood property value and compromise the overall safety of the neighborhood.
It is not the fault of the neighbors that Serenity Peaks did not thoroughly investigate all avenues before purchase of property 6440 Brook Park Dr. There are many empty properties on Academy Blvd from one end to the other that could have been converted over to a large clinic with out the determent to this residential neighborhood.

Zoning & use changes are a slippery slope. The edges of our neighborhood are already zoned for multi-tenant use, retail, medical, food services, etc..
This would be a change WITHIN the residential zone.
This is exactly how you wake up one day with a McDonalds at the end of your block.
Enough is enough.
