Property development

  • A zoning application has been filed for the site at 1201 MCLEAN Blvd., marking the initial step in for a proposed skilled nursing facility. This application, submitted on July 2, seeks to confirm the site’s suitability for development by ensuring compliance with local zoning regulations and land use policies. The project aims to make effective use of the site while adhering to community standards and guidelines. Currently under review, the application will determine if the proposed development aligns with the area’s designated zoning category.
