STAFF REPORT
Planning staff recommends approval.
Gulf Coast Health Center, Inc., is requesting a specific use permit to locate a mobile
medical clinic on the site of an existing health care facility. The subject property is
located at 3455 Sarah Street.
The mobile clinic will be located on a site with an existing building already in use by the
company. The mobile clinic will be in a large bus/recreational vehicle type set up, where
patients will enter to receive basic health care and ancillary services. The mobile medical
clinic will supplement the activities already offered in the building. The mobile clinic will
be in operation at this location on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 9 AM to 3 PM and
will utilize three additional employees.
The mobile clinic will enable enhanced access for low cost or free health care. It will help
with education toward self-directed health management, and will decrease the demand on
emergency medical care.
Water Utilities have noted that an RPZ will need to be installed on the downstream side
of the meter within 12” of the meter. Traffic Division has noted that the parking for the
mobile medical clinic shall not interfere with parking associated with the existing use.
Exhibits are attached.
