A proposal by the region s largest federally qualified health center to convert a Niagara Street warehouse and storage facility into a community medical clinic is facing opposition from some neighbors.
Neighborhood Health Center wants permission to evade the city s Green Code s walkability requirements in an area where the city is investing in the streetscape to make it pedestrian-friendly.
As a result, it was forced to yield on one of its variance requests, while the city s Zoning Board of Appeals sent it back to the drawing board on another, potentially delaying a grant application needed to fund the $7.3 million project. The group had hoped to submit for site plan approval in January, before starting work in the spring for completion in spring 2022.
