Conditional Use Permit 2026-004

The City of Clovis is considering a conditional use permit application to permit the construction and operation of a 7,278 square foot adult day care center within Shaw Avenue Plaza, an established commercial shopping center. The proposal is submitted by Social Vocational Services, which intends to provide services to adult clientele in a licensed, community-based setting integrated into an existing retail environment. The request requires approval under the city’s land use regulations, as the use is not automatically permitted in the commercial zoning district and must meet specific conditions to ensure compatibility with surrounding businesses and neighborhood character. The application is being reviewed by the city’s planning department, with Eric Garcia, Assistant Planner, serving as the official point of contact for municipal inquiries. The applicant, Social Vocational Services, can be reached through their designated representative, Suzanne Leonhardt. The project is currently in the forecasting stage with no funding or procurement details identified, and the next steps involve public review, potential hearings, and compliance with local development standards to address parking, access, noise, and operational impacts. Approval is contingent upon meeting all zoning, safety, and accessibility requirements established by the city’s planning code.
