WCA Expansion Project to Go Before City Zoning Board of Appeals Wednesday Afternoon

February 1, 2017 By WRFA Radio Leave a Comment

JAMESTOWN – An expansion project at UPMC Chautauqua WCA will go before the Jamestown Zoning Board of Appeals Wednesday afternoon.

The public hearing on the project will take place on Wednesday, Feb. 1 at 3:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers of city hall.  Specifically, the hearing will involve a review of the petition of WCA for an area variance to construct a new ambulance entrance and an approximate 8,000 square foot addition as additional stories to the present ambulance/emergency room area for maternity and mental health services, 20-feet from the south (front yard) property line and a maximum height of 55-feet. Current city zoning law states that the minimum front yard setback is 25-feet and the maximum building height is 35-feet. As a result, a zoning variance will be required in order for the project to move forward.

Anyone interest in speaking on the matter will be given an opportunity to be heard during the hearing.

If it goes forward, the expansion project is estimated to cost $23 million, with much of the cost covered by state grants. WCA officials are still waiting for state approvals for financing the project.

According to WCA officials, the expansion will free-up space at the Jones Memorial Health Center at 51 Glasgow Ave. in order to provide room for the construction of a 20-bed, long-term residential chemical dependency treatment program in Jamestown. The program can treat patients for up to a year and is designed for individuals suffering from severe and chronic drug addiction.
