REGULAR MEETING OF THE WELLINGTON VILLAGE COUNCIL

Wellington Council Meeting April 10, 2012 Page 143 of 384
This amendment is to create a new subcategory for CLF Type 2 to allow additional residents when
the facility is for senior housing only. An assisted (congregate) living facility is licensed by Florida
Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) which has minimum space and facilities requirement
within the Florida Building Code (Chapter 4, Section 434).
The proposed LDR Section 3.2. and 6.4.4.30 are recommended to be amended by providing a
definition for “Senior housing,” amending the “Congregate Living Facility” definition to include senior
housing, creating a new CLF Type 2 (B) category for senior housing that is approved subject to a
conditional/requested use by Wellington Council and updating the LDR supplementary standards
where required.
The approval of this CLF ZTA will encourage the redevelopment of the multi-family residential
district which will promote the goals of Wellington’s Safe Neighborhood and Neighborhood
Renaissance efforts; foster a family environment by enabling senior residents to continue living
within close proximity to family and friends; and enhance the value of the community by providing
housing for Wellington’s aging population. This ZTA Ordinance (2012-09) is provided for your
consideration.
