The Johnston Town Council voted 4-0 on Sept. 12 to allow a zoning change which would allow Briarcliffe Manor to expand.
The accompanying video shows scenes from the Johnston Town Council meeting of Sept. 12, where councilors voted 4-0 for a zoning change which will pave the way for Briarcliffe Manor to construct an assisted living facility across from its current campus. Several residents spoke in opposition to the proposed building, which will have two stories, 75 rooms, and up to 100 beds. It will also create between 30 and 50 new jobs, according to Briarcliffe attorney William Landry. Landry also noted that the project is still in the "conceptual stage," and will require additional approvals from the town planning board before construction can begin.

The change clears one hurdle on the way toward an assisted living facility on Old Pocasset Road.
At its Sept. 12 meeting, the Johnston Town Council voted 4-0 to change the zoning designation on two parcels of landowned by Briarcliffe Manor, whose owners hope to build an assisted living facility on the land. The council's decision changes the designation on the land to a Planned District/Continuing Care Retirement Community, from R-40 (residential). Council Vice President Stephanie Manzi was absent from the vote. Attorney William Landry described the Briarcliffe plan as being in the "conceptual stage," with two stories and 75 rooms proposed for a new assisted living facility. Depending on the number of couples at the facility, there could be up to 100 beds, Landry said. Watch JohnstonPatch later today for a full report, including …
