The county Department of Planning and Land Use are recommending changes to the two-story medical offices that would house 16 primary-care physicians and eight pediatric specialists. It would also include lab, pharmacy and radiology facilities.
The Valle de Oro Community Planning Group is worried that red tape could again delay the project. It was revived earlier this year and the planning group unanimously approved it in August.
