“Our community is in need,” Clark told The Columbian.
Currently, Janice’s single-family home sits alone on the 0.41-acre property at 3305 N.E. 79th Ave. A pre-application document submitted to the city of Vancouver by Compass Contractors stated that it will be demolished to make way for what was called in the document an assisted living facility.
The pre-planning documents include plans for a single-story, wood frame building around 7,000 square feet in size.
The initial layout shown in the pre-application includes plans for 15 bedrooms, all with closets and bathrooms, as well as an office, dining room, kitchen, great room and covered porch. Clark is not sure that this is what will be built, noting that it’s still early in the planning process.
The land, which lies just south of Fourth Plain Boulevard in the Ogden neighborhood, is zoned by the city as higher-density residential.
The surrounding neighborhood is single-family homes, apartment complexes, offices and the Vancouver Plaza shopping center that sits across Fourth Plain Boulevard.
