During a recent government meeting, officials discussed the approval of variances and rezoning for a property that has been operating as a medical center since 1986. The property, located at the corner of West Fourth Avenue and 35th Street, is set to undergo aesthetic changes to align its appearance with a neighboring building that has already received approval for similar modifications.
City staff confirmed that there are no open code violations associated with the property, and they recommended the approval of the rezoning and variances, contingent upon the removal of the term \"work clinic\" from the existing well sign, as medical clinics are prohibited under current regulations.
The proposed changes aim to enhance the building's visual appeal, creating a cohesive look with adjacent structures. The decision to rezone the property from commercial to office and professional services reflects the city's ongoing efforts to adapt to new regulations, particularly in light of the Live Local Act. This adjustment is intended to ensure that the property remains functional and relevant within the community.
The meeting highlighted the importance of maintaining the building's operational status while aligning it with the city's evolving land use policies. The approval marks a significant step in the development of the area, ensuring that the property continues to serve its intended purpose without compromising on aesthetic standards.
