On Jan. 14, 2026, at an administrative zoning public hearing, staff recommended approval of a permit to operate an IV hydration room and related medical services in an existing 1,644-square-foot tenant space at The Village at San Antonio Center, 555 San Antonio Road.
Bridal Norton, the project planner, said the application (filed Aug. 12, 2025, by Ejaz Farook on behalf of B Prep Village Residences LLC) proposes a hydration room that would provide IV and injection therapy in a space under 2,000 square feet within a 5.51-acre shopping center site. "All IV therapy is administered by licensed professionals using portable IV supplies with 2 to 3 employees on-site, which includes at least 1 registered nurse at any given time," Norton said. Staff told the hearing the business operations statement anticipates 15 to 20 patients per day with an average appointment time of about 30 minutes, and that the tenant space includes offices, a private IV therapy room and a consultation room.
Staff recommended approval and concluded the project is categorically exempt under California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) guideline §15301 for existing facilities. "That concludes our presentation," Norton said.
Applicant representative Christina Venaszdal, identifying herself as the nurse operations manager for the company's Northern California region and standing in for Sean Hayward, vice president of operations, said she had no additional comments beyond staff's presentation.
The presiding official opened the item for public comment and reported there were no in-person or online commenters. The presiding official then moved to approve item 3.1 "based on the findings and conditions posted online, the public comment letters received prior to the meeting, and the application materials received by city staff." The official noted the decision "is appealable to the city council within 10 calendar days," provided Brandon Norton as the contact for follow-up, and closed the public hearing at 4:07 p.m.
No formal vote tally or individual votes were recorded in the hearing transcript. The written decision, appeal instructions and the conditions of approval are posted with the project materials; members of the public may appeal as noted within the 10-calendar-day period.
