Conditional Use Permit PLN24-139 to Allow Nursing “College & Trade School”

The City of Richmond is processing a Conditional Use Permit, identified as PLN24-139, to authorize the operation of a nursing college and trade school. The project is located within a 42,672 square foot area of Suite 2401 on the second floor of the historic Ford Company Assembly Plant at 1414 Harbour Way South. This location is situated in a Light Industrial zoning district, where such educational uses are permitted under Richmond Municipal Code Section 15.04.204.020 provided a Conditional Use Permit is granted. The scope of work consists of interior tenant improvements to the existing facility with no changes to the exterior envelope, building footprint, or occupancy classification. Due to the nature of these minor alterations, the project has been granted a categorical exemption under California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Section 15301, confirming there is no significant environmental impact. The project is being managed by Avery Stark for the City of Richmond and Linda Klein of Cox, Castle & Nicholson LLP as the applicant. This action is currently categorized as a forecast and does not include federal procurement clauses, specific contract pricing, or formal delivery schedules.
