Additionally, residential uses in the GPI District require a Special Use Permit as part of the land use entitlement process before seeking a building permit.

 

This Institutional Development Plan for property at 1000 W. 2nd Street includes only the residential components at this time. The initial project construction of the project will include a 12-bedroom Group Home and 10 one-bedroom Multi-Dwelling Residential ­units. The residential portion of the development aligns with the existing residential portion of the neighborhood to the immediate south.

 

A future phase will include the construction of the Community Mental Health Facility and an expanded parking lot.
