STAFF REPORT
Planning staff recommends approval.
Mary Milligan, on behalf of Hope Women’s Resource Clinic, is requesting a specific use
permit to allow for a pregnancy resource clinic. The proposed clinic will be located at
3740 Laurel Street.
The existing building has been used as a medical type clinic for many years. The
proposed use would be comparable to that use. The clinic would offer pregnancy support
services, as well as classes, counseling, support groups, and a small boutique. Parking
and utilities exist on the site to handle expected demand and has met the requirements of
the City.
Exhibits are attached.
