Tuesday, the Oro Valley Planning and Zoning Commission voted unanimously to approve a conditional use permit for the Memory Facility to be located on the southwest corner of Oracle and Desert Sky Rd.  We have previously reported this to to you.  The actual permit can only be approved by council.  During the hearing on the facility, resident Bill Adler observed that the facility can not be approved on the basis that it is a "skilled nursing facility." This is one of the categories for permitting a conditional use permit.  Bill noted that it is not skilled nursing facility.  Indeed, most of these facilities are staffed by medical aids.  We learned that Bill's concern is being considered by Oro Valley Development and Infrastructure Department and that they are planning to create a new category for this type of facility.
