Rezoning would allow a residence for homeless boys to locate on Kimball Avenue in Alexandria.

Lewis Carruth Properties is asking the city’s Board of Adjustments & Appeals for a special exception in the land use.

The property is currently designated SF-2 single family. An exception for a philanthropic institution under the land Development Code is requested.

The board will consider the matter, and from any who support or oppose, at its 4 p.m. June 9 meeting.

Representing the petitioner will be Vicki Lee of Rosebud Health Care, a Baker-headquartered firm.

The proposed home would be a foster home for boys age 11-17, according to the petition announcement.

Kimball runs from Madonna to Darby streets, east of Texas Avenue. The location is near Kimball & Stimson, several blocks from D.F. Huddle Elementary.
