LPAs inspected this building, observed it to contain a main room, kitchen, and bathroom, confirmed there were no beds inside, that no person was living in the building, and that the building is being used for storage. LPAs took photographs of the interior and exterior of the building. LPAs had a conversation with AP about the building and AP understands that the building is to be used only for storage, that the building cannot contain any beds, and that no persons may sleep there. LPAs advised AP on the steps to have the building fire cleared as a staff bedroom should AP choose to do so in the future. AP stated they understand that no one may sleep in or live in the building unless it is fire cleared as a bedroom. LPAs had AP sign a declaration confirming these facts. During the inspection, LPA explained the process of this application and about the post licensing inspection once the facility is licensed. AP was informed today that the facility is ready for licensure and final approval will be processed by the CAB supervisor in Sacramento. An exit interview was conducted and a copy of this report was discussed with and provided to AP.
