Minllles - Plan Commission, October 23,1991 Page 3 BLOOD BANK A BLOOD BANK is defined in Section 34-90 of the University City Zoning Code as "a use which includes the collection of blood, blood components or body parts from individuals other than samples of blood or blood components which are taken in a physician's office, substance abuse treatment centers, or medical laboratory for diagnostic purposes only." BLOOD BANKS are uses which require the approval, prior to an application for commercial occupancy, of the City Council under Conditional Use Permit after review by the Plan Commission. The standards for issuance of a Conditional Use Permit are outlined in Section 34-65 of the University City Zoning Code. In approving an application for a Conditional Use Permit, the City Council may impose conditions and restrictions on the business to ensure that the general intent of the City's Zoning Regulations and City Planning Policies are carried out. Standard conditions with Conditional Use Permits for BLOOD BANKS include, but are not limited to the following: I. Staffing shall include a licensed physician or registered nurse on the premises at all times the facility is in operation. 2. The facility shall have a written agreement, a copy of which shall be on file with the city, with a nearby licensed hospital to provide for the emergency admission of such patrons of the facility who may require hospital admission and care; or the physician in charge of such facility shall file a signed written statement which recites that he or she has staff privileges at a nearby licensed hospital to provide for emergency admission of such patients of the facility who may require hospital admission and care. 3. The facility shall either have its own ambulance service, or shall have a written agreement, a copy of which shall be on file with the city, with a person, partnership or corporation providing ambulance service for transporting patients to the aforementioned hospital. ~:::ri!:tX.:Eg:ijn8!l.:.:m~x.::~~~~l~mPR~~::~ftB..t9n.9Y~;~~~..~ggg~U99.;: 4.
