Chilliwack council approves development permit for a new dental surgery building on Young Road
CHILLIWACK — Chilliwack council Tuesday (June 4) approved the form and character for a splashy new dental clinic on Young Road not far from City Hall.
According to a city staff report from senior planner Adam Roberts, the development consists of a three-storey commercial building featuring a unique, modern design on a vacant 0.8-acre lot at 8460 Young Road.
Architectural specifications call for 127m2 (1,367 square feet) of commercial space on the ground floor and 1,012m2 (10,893 square feet) of dental surgery office space within the two upper storeys, along with a rooftop employee amenity area, four bicycle parking spaces and 25 trees, eight of which are required.
Roberts wrote in his staff report that the design of the building and site is not only visually appealing but also represents a significant improvement to the site and area, which has been a vacant lot for years.
