Archway’s permit to expand into a renovated first floor of its building at Pershing and DeBaliviere was not granted. Archway, a substance abuse treatment center, appealed this denial to the Board of Adjustment. At a hearing in early December, the Board heard testimony from those asking that the denial be overturned and the permit granted. Time ran out before opponents of the permit could testify. Archway has 72 beds at its facility for treating residential clients.
It intends to expand its outpatient services considerably even though its facility has no parking.
According to an Archway board member, residential loses money. More outpatients are needed to pay the bills and lessen a dependency on fundraising. Alderman Lyda Krewson and SDCC President Gary Hayes want Archway to agree to a cap on their outpatient services.
The DeBaliviere Association and the SDCC support this position as does neighboring Crossroads School. Archway has refused to do this as of this writing.
The hearing will resume on Jan. 12 at 1:30pm in Room 208 City Hall. Neighbors concerned about this issue are invited to attend the hearing or to contact Ald. Krewson at 622-3287 or the SDCC at 862-5122.
