body
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
On December 7, 1987, the City Council adopted Ordinance 779, approving Rezone Map 87-8 and the St. Dominic’s Healthcare Facilities Campus Standards & Design Guidelines for the site that is presently being occupied by the Kaiser Permanente Hospital Campus.
In January of 2025 the City Council approved a City-wide Rezone as a subsequent action enacting direct implementation of the 2043 General Plan and 6th Cycle Housing Element. As a result, the project site’s PD Overlay zone district was changed to current Public Quasi-Public (PQP) and Mixed Use Commercial zone district. However, the St. Dominic’s Healthcare Facilities Campus Standards & Design Guidelines remain in place.
In order to prevent any conflicting regulations or inconsistencies with current development standards, the repeal of Ordinance 779 (Attachment 4), and any subsequent amendments to the same is necessary.
PROJECT ANALYSIS
For a full analysis of the project, please see Attachment 1, Planning Commission Staff Report.
