Rezoning request to change vacant property from single-family residential (R1-6) to central business district (C-2) to accommodate a small outpatient medical clinic (Truly Well Family Care) with 2,000 square feet of operational space and 1,800 square feet reserved for future expansion. The proposal includes five on-site parking spaces and home-like architecture designed to blend into the neighborhood, operating Monday–Friday 7 AM–5 PM with minimal traffic impact (one patient per hour, two providers on-site).

Rezoning of approximately 2 parcels at the northeast corner of Jefferson Street and Apache Street from R1-6 to C2 to accommodate an outpatient medical clinic.

The site is currently an abandoned rock yard with dual highway access; development will require well and septic systems pending future public utility extension.

The development is planned to open in 2027 with two new access driveways to Vulture Mine Road, and traffic modeling shows the intersection will maintain Level of Service A through 2030 despite the added trip generation.
