Update: Large assisted living facility planned on S. River Road
Updated to reflect rescheduled hearing date:
– The Paso Robles Planning Commission will consider a request to build a three-story, 101-resident assisted living and memory care facility. The plans were brought up for consideration at a previous commission meeting, and then delayed at the request of the applicant. It is rescheduled to the commission’s Oct. 27 meeting at 6:30 p.m. in City Council Chambers at 1000 Spring Street, Paso Robles.
The applicant proposes to construct a three-story, 68,000-square-foot assisted living project, which would include 73 assisted living and 24 memory care units, and ancillary support uses. The assisted living units include studios, one-bedroom and two-bedroom units, with private bathrooms and kitchenettes. The maximum population would be 101 residents. The project site is located at the southeast corner of South River Road and Serenade Drive.
The project is designed as a single building, internally divided between the general assisted care units (within the 3-story portion of the building) and the memory care units located toward the south end of the project. An access driveway is proposed on the interior side of the site, with ingress/egress on Serenade Drive and South River Road.
A water use analysis was done on the project, and it indicates that the proposed assisted living project would use approximately 85 gallons of water per person per day, which is 39 gallons less per person than a prior approved residential project for this site. The project incorporates significant water efficient fixtures, equipment, and drought tolerant landscaping to help reduce their overall water consumption, and would use comparatively less water than similar uses.
Where will the parking lot be for this facility. There is parking on one side of Seranade only and it is already a very dangerous hill with the traffic it has currently. There is no parking on South River Road going north bound. There is a facility similar this in Templton with a parking lot that is always full and parking spills onto the surounding streets. Serenade Drive leads into a busy residential neighborhood and was not designed to accomodate the kind of car traffic and parking neccesary for a facility this size.
Is this another corporation? Or is it privately owned?
What is the date that this will be finished?
Why am i or other residents keep saving water when Paso Roble keep approving buildings?or the planning commissionar don't think we are having serious water situation?
How about a signal light at Serande and S. River Road? If this goes in-which it will, the traffic congestion at this intersection is going to be horrendous. Its dangerous to cross there on foot for a young person, so I can't imagine Granny shuffling across there
I live at the top of the hill, so I should know. How about slowing traffic on South river Road as well? It getting to be a darn raceway down there.
I support this project! We are lacking care homes in this area and this is a perfect location for the residents to have access to shopping by foot. By the time it is completed, our water worries should be in the past
The city owns the hill portion of this property and is supposed to remain open land. Mosaic is the developer and if you look them up, you will see they have done some really nice assisted living projects in other states.
They can approve 2600 Hotel rooms but want this one scaled back? Obviously their hearts are in theiir pocketbooks. It cannot have anything to do with water usage, that is obvious.
