Preliminary design for an Acadia Healthcare Behavioral Health Hospital recently was discussed by the Mesa Design Review Board.
The hospital is to be constructed north of Elliot Road on the west side of Ellsworth Road, with access to the hospital from Prairie Avenue and Peterson Avenue, Staff Planner Cassidy Welch said during a June 14 board meeting.
“The site plan shows one large-scale hospital,” she said. “The applicant is requesting alternative compliance to one of the design standards ... of the zoning ordinance — that’s for uninterrupted wall lengths exceeding 50 feet without articulation. That’s primarily for the front facade — the long metal panel facade.”
