STAFF REPORT
June 29, 2022
Hearing, Case 2022-18: Request for special use permit to operate a pregnancy services office at 1275 Peck
St.
SUMMARY
1. The property is zoned RM-1, Low Density Multifamily Housing. Most of the allowed principal uses
by right include housing and home offices.
2. Offices for physicians, dentists, architects, attorneys, etc. are allowed with the issuance of a special
use permit.
3. This building has been historically used for insurance offices, however, there is no special use permit
on file. These businesses were considered legally non-conforming.
4. The applicant states that this office would be used for pregnancy testing, ultrasounds and STD testing
and treatment for low income women. From a zoning standpoint, these services do not differ
significantly from any other type of office use and staff does not interpret this request as needing to
be located in a medical district. The issuance of a special use permit would allow this business to be
considered a legal conforming use.
5. The lot measures about 13,000 sf and the building on site measures 3,540 sf. There is adequate
parking on site for office uses.
6. Notice was sent to everyone in a 300-foot radius of this property. At the time of this writing, staff had
not received any comments from the public.
