Allegheny Health Network cancer clinic proposed for Butler
Allegheny Health Network has submitted a conditional use application to build a 30,000-square foot cancer clinic near Pullman Center Business Park in Butler.
AHN is seeking conditional use approval because it wants to have 221 off-street parking spaces at the proposed site at 160 Hollywood Drive and the city zoning ordinance requires 271 spaces for the building, which would house offices and the clinic.
The conditional use application will be discussed at Wednesday's planning commission meeting and will be the subject of a hearing before City Council Jan. 23.
The ordinance requires 66 parking spaces for the proposed building's 19,818 square feet of office space and 204.9 spaces for the 10,246-square foot clinic for a total of 271 spaces, according to AHN's application.
More than 221 spaces is not necessary to accommodate employees, patients and other visitors and other AHN clinics have about that many spaces, according to the application, which was submitted by Brendan Lucas, an attorney representing AHN, on Monday.
The clinic would be built on two properties zoned for heavy industrial use. AHN would buy a lot owned by the Community Development Corporation of Butler County and part of another lot owned by RNC Holdings of Monaca for the clinic.
In addition to Butler, AHN is planning to build community cancer clinics in Beaver and Monroeville.
