General Plan Amendment and Zone Change The General Plan Amendment and Zone Change would change the land use and zoning designation of two (2) parcels, APNs 002-132-024 and 002-132-025, from Low Density Residential/R-1 to Institutional/C-O. The rest of the site would remain as currently planned and zoned.

Site Plan Review and Architectural Review The Site Plan Review and Architectural Review would facilitate the development of the proposed Project. The Project would modify an existing medical facility site, resulting in approximately 14,800 square feet of building area (approximately 21% lot coverage), 83 parking spaces, 56,300 square feet of impervious surface area (parking lot, walkways, buildings), 27 exam rooms, and other site modifications including pedestrian pathways, bike parking, landscaping, trash enclosure, and a secure outdoor staff area. The building area will include a reception and waiting area, exam rooms, a laboratory and testing area, administrative offices, break room and support areas, reception and intake area, point-of-care testing station, telehealth capabilities, and x-ray imaging area, providing primary care, specialty care, and other support services to serve approximately 6,000 to 8,000 patients per year.
