Cambria Community Healthcare District - Minor Use Permit / Coastal Development Permit: C-DRC2025-00032 / ED26-0063

The Cambria Community Healthcare District is seeking approval for a phased construction project at 2515 Main Street in Cambria, California, to replace its existing ambulance station with a new 4,300-square-foot facility while maintaining operational continuity. Phase one involves the partial demolition of the current structure to construct a modern facility featuring a 1,621-square-foot ambulance bay capable of housing four emergency vehicles with direct access to Main Street for rapid response, 1,279 square feet of administrative space, and 1,350 square feet of employee living quarters, supporting an on-site team of approximately seven responders and staff. The project is designed to ensure that critical emergency services remain fully functional throughout construction. Phase two will entail the complete demolition of remaining obsolete structures and the implementation of site improvements, including new landscaping, a reconstructed return driveway, designated public and staff parking, and the installation of an emergency generator with necessary support systems. The project is located within the Public Facilities land use category in the North Coast Planning Area of the California Coastal Zone and requires a Minor Use Permit and Coastal Development Permit. The site is under the jurisdiction of San Luis Obispo County, and all permitting activities are coordinated through the county’s planning division. Point of contact for permitting matters is Dane Mueller, Planner II, while Linda Hendy of the Cambria Community Healthcare District serves as the agency liaison. The request was posted in July 2026 and is part of the formal public planning process to ensure regulatory compliance and community alignment with coastal development standards.
