Walford Zone Reclassification and General Plan Amendment
Assessor Parcel Numbers (APN): 017-015-034, 017-041-008
Record No.: PLN-2024-18886
Eureka area
Zone Reclassification (ZR) for the removal of the Qualified (Q) combining zone from APNs 017-015-034 and 017-041-008, that make up one legal parcel. The Q-zone currently restricts all development to those associated with medical, dental and other health related offices and facilities, per Ordinance 2078. Removing the Q-zone would allow for non-medical development (e.g. residential) to potentially move forward onsite. No change to the principal zoning (R-4) or the General Plan Land Use designation (RM) is proposed although a text amendment is also required to remove the Q zone provision that is embedded in Section 2620.15 of the Eureka Community Plan. The parcel is currently developed with medical offices.
