In recognition of the special nature of the needs of elderly persons, it is necessary to establish a special zoning district for elderly living in condominium independent living units. To enable elderly persons to obtain suitable, safe, sanitary and decent housing designed to meet their special needs in areas of the City in which the location of such housing would be in accordance with the policies of the City's Development Program and would promote and protect, to the fullest extent permissible under the powers of the Charter, the public health, safety, convenience, comfort and prosperity and the general welfare of the City, it is necessary to establish an additional zoning classification regulating and controlling the location of buildings designed specifically for the elderly and the relationship of such buildings with surrounding properties so as to carry out the objectives of the City's Development Program.
