Then, Mrs. McGuire at 2323 Corte de la Jara, asked what qualifications people who take in such persons need to have. Mr. Levine indicated that the State is entirely responsible for screening and qualification require- ments. Mr. Jack Berkley asked for and received from Mr. Levine what the State Health and Welfare laws are. Mr. Berkley indicated their main concern was that they bought their homes in good faith. He cited an example in the Del Prado area where a pool business has caused problems there. Next, Al Calera on Via Espada, asked whether this business would open the door to commercial uses, and Mr. Levine replied no. Bill Young, 2320 Corte de la Jara, repeated Mrs. King's comments that she did not wish to upset the neighbors. Obviously, the neighbors are upset and asked Mrs. King to withdraw her application. Generally, the Commissioner's comments acknowledged the neighbors' concerns and expressed sympathy for them. However, they also acknowledged the tre- mendous need for such care homes. However, the main concerns have centered around their location. Commissioner Shepherd did indicate that at his place of employment there is a program for developmentally disabled persons which has been a great success. He personally could see no problem with such persons moving into a single family neighborhood. He did, however, under- stand that neighbors could be concerned upon being notified of such a pro- posal. Commissioner Wood asked Mrs. King whether she has received her State permit and she replied no. Then, Commissioner Wood asked Mrs. King whether she would base her decision to continue with her application before the State on what she heard from her neighbors. Mrs. King indicated that she would want to "sleep on the matter" before deciding. It was explained to the people in the audience that all licensing and man- datory requirements would be imposed by the State. The Public Hearing was closed. Resolution No. 1616 was then entered and adopted approving UP-78-3, subject to the findings and conditions in the March 8, 1978, staff report.
