Younts Road rehab hospital rezone
Summary
Younce Road is shifting from rural residential to intensive commercial uses — Walmart, a prep academy, and now potentially a rehab hospital. The comprehensive plan designates it as an 'activity center boulevard,' and staff are actively encouraging more intensive development there, though residents like the neighboring horse farm owner worry about traffic on the curve.

Impact analysis
Residents needing inpatient rehabilitation services would have a facility close to home, and landowners along the corridor gain development potential.
Rural neighbors like the horse pasture owner across the street face more traffic and a changing view, though no direct harm was shown.

Two homes on Younts Road will come down so Encompass Health can build an inpatient rehabilitation hospital — 40 beds to start, possibly 80 later. It brings specialty medical care close to the Highway 74 corridor.
