The Planning Commission approved construction plans for a new assisted living facility, to be built at 101 Avenida Calafia. It will have 40 units with two beds each (80-person capacity) and a second floor for “cognitive impairments,” according to the application.
The facility is planned to be nearly 20,000 square feet and 44 feet high with 30 underground parking spaces. Valet services is also planned for the project.
“In the city’s housing element, it identifies a need for housing for (housing for senior citizens) as well as persons with disabilities,” city planner Cliff Jones said during the May 4 meeting.
Jones said the residents of the facility would not increase traffic in the area and are less likely to leave the property often.
The planned construction of the building will go to City Council for approval in the near future.
