By Kimberley Sander Eastvale – The proposed Eastvale San Antonio Medical Plaza project, previously submitted to the Eastvale Planning Commission by San Antonio Community Hospital, is seeking approval for modifications to the already approved development plan for a portion of the Eastvale Gateway South retail center. The center, located on Limonite Avenue just west of the I-15, already has approvals for several restaurants. The Medical Plaza, which would occupy the lot in front of the recently completed 24-Hour Fitness Center, is proposing a modification that would replace some of the restaurants. Other businesses currently at the retail center include Corky’s Kitchen and Bakery, McDonald’s, Taco Bell, Wing-Stop, Game-Stop, and Walgreen’s. The Medical Plaza Project is proposing a major review for the development of two two-story buildings, totaling over 69,000 square feet, and 327 parking spaces. The development would be built in two phases, with the first building, 213 of the parking spaces, perimeter landscaping and walkways to be completed initially. The next phase would develop the second building, the remaining 114 parking spaces and the balance of the landscaping. Phase II would begin one to two years after Phase I has been completed, depending on its success. Since the property is already subdivided into three lots for the originally approved restaurants, the Medical Plaza Project does not configure to the site. They would require approval of a lot line adjustment to the existing parcels. The proposed Eastvale San Antonio Community Medical Plaza would include a combination of physician offices and outpatient services such as surgery, imaging, labs, physical therapies, cardiac rehabilitation, dialysis, oncology, urgent care, and other health-related options. No emergency rooms or ambulance services would be provided at the site. Once approved by the Planning Commission, there is a ten day window to appeal (the project will not go to the City Council for approval). There is also a 30-day window to contest the CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act) document, commencing on the date the document is filed with the Riverside County Clerk’s Office.
