The Chandler Planning and Zoning Commission has recommended approval of a preliminary development plan for a proposed new 100.2KSF medical office building on 2.7 acres at CommonSpirit Health’s Chandler Regional Medical Center.
Located at the SEC of Frye and Dobson roads, the CRMC campus has seen an increasing demand for service from the surrounding community, according to supporting documents from project design firm and applicant Devenney Group Architects.
The submission says, “MOB II is part of the larger CRMC campus and is designed to provide services and support for Chandler Regional Hospital. The proposed MOB II will provide hospital outpatient rehabilitation services and specialty medical practices (e.g., orthopedics, trauma, GI, brain and spine and thoracic). In addition to medical services, there may be some employee training space related to hospital service and care. It is important to note that the uses will evolve and be added over time to provide the best quality patient care/services possible within the CRMC campus.”
The current campus includes the hospital and medical office buildings located toward Frye and Dobson. Most of the campus’ developable land and existing surface parking is located toward the rear of the campus near Fairview Street. The submission says this makes the proposed location ideal for a new MOB because it does not need immediate street frontage or visibility from the intersection.
Since the proposed building will be on a developed healthcare campus with significant existing parking, the submission requests a parking ratio modification for fewer spaces than would be required for an independent facility. One space/150SF of building area would normally be required. The submission seeks a modification of one space/200SF.
