New Hospital Wins Approval in Scottsdale Planning
The Scottsdale planning and zoning commission approved a 136 room hospital on Indian Bend Road west of Pima Road for rehabilitation and chronic illness care. Walter G Huckabee led the hospital group stating three acres of a 17 acre site would host a park for ambulatory patients and the oblong building would outline two pools and recreation areas. The project is endorsed by Wilson Bolin of O Malley Real Estate and Investment Corp. Dr Robert F Watterson testified the need for such a facility, noting high chronic illness rates among those over 40 and bed shortages in the Southwest. Estimated cost is 1 725 000 and about 100 workers would be employed with an open staff. The zoning commission's recommendation goes to the city council for a use permit on August 22.
