In recognition of the special nature of the needs of elderly persons, it is necessary to establish a special zoning district for elderly living and care where elderly persons needs, whatever level of attention they may require, can be met, ranging from minimal care in independent living units through personal intermediate and skilled nursing care. 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 Comprehensive Plan 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 Comprehensive Plan of the City.
