This is a methadone clinic.
Lol – troll much?
This is absolutely NOT a methodone clinic, read the code definitions. It will allow community service uses such as Dentists, Drs of Chiropractic, Drs of Psychiatry, etc..which are not permitted by right in the Residential Office Zone.
“Health Services and Medical Clinics” sure sounds like a meth clinic:

The question is “Does that area need another Health Services and/or Medical Clinic?”
I don’t think so. The area is lousy with medical arts places. the new Medistar building, Plumtree Road. There are a lot of Medical Arts buildings around that location and they have vacancies. In my opinion, we don’t need anymore Medical arts buildings there.
Why do we have to develop every single inch of ground in this county right now? Wouldn’t it be nice to save some land for our grandchildren to decide what they want to use it for?
I wonder if there is some sort of taxing abilitiy for commercial property owners to “write off” or something while these commercial properties sit vacant, sometimes for years.
How long has that big brick building in Aberdeen next to Target has sat unused? Sounds like a perfect place for “community medical facilities.” But? Nah?
My former primary care office physically moved locations 3 times and on the second move they remodeled/downsized their office twice in the years I went there.
I think it’s the crisis effect of shitty insurance, hard to find good help (employee’s), and expensive rent from the property owners.
Oh well.
