body
Background:
Project Description:
The project will consist of a site plan review to allow for a 27,476 sq ft expansion of the existing Emergency Department. A Conditional Use Permit is required for hospital uses in the PQP Zoning District. A series of Lot Line Adjustments is requested to merge two parcels and multiple paper lots into one parcel to accommodate the proposed structure and required parking and landscaping. A Master Sign Program is requested because Kaiser owns multiple buildings on site and leases some medical office space to non-Kaiser tenants. Parking displaced by the proposed development will be relocated to the east along St. Dominics Drive and the existing turf and pergola landscape feature will be removed. The parking area to the west of the future emergency department will remain but will be reconfigured to include an ambulance drop-off zone. The property is situated on the northwestern corner of the intersection of W. Yosemite Avenue and St. Dominics Drive.
Project Analysis:
For a full analysis of the project, please see Attachment 1, Planning Commission Staff Report.
Environmental Review:
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) was prepared for the proposed project (SCH #2025080633). The resultant Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) determined that any potential impacts can be reduced to a less than significant level with the implementation of the proposed mitigations.
The full IS/MND can be reviewed on the City of Manteca website, or at the Development Services Department, 1215 W. Center St., Suite 201, Manteca, CA 95337.
