FILE: 2168 - P ___ 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.
