GP-84-13, Application of Callahan Pentz Properties and Valley Memorial Hospital for an amendment to the Land Use and Circulation Element of the General Plan to reconfi- gure the land use designation of the approximately 62 acre site located at the north- west corner of Santa Rita Road and West Las Positas Boulevard and to show a north- west/southeast trending thoroughfare in that area. The property is currently desig- nated "Public and Institutional", "Commercial and Offices"~. and "High Density Resi- dential" on the General Plan. These designations would remain but would be recon- figured to some extent Consider Adoption of Negative Declaration Application of Callahan Pentz Properties and Valley Memorial Hospital for PUD rezon- ~g to reconfigure the zoning of the approximately 62 acre site located at the north- west corner of Santa Rita Road and West Las Positas Boulevard. The property is cur- Fent!y zoned "P" (Public and Institutional), PUD (Planned Unit Development)'RM-2500 (Maximum one unit/each 2500 s~. ft. of lot area) Districts. Each of these zoning districts would remain but would be reconfigured. The percentage .of pyoperty within each zoning district would not be changed Mr. Harris presented his reports (SR 84:552 and SR 84:~'53) dated October 11, 1984 regarding these items. Mayor Mercer declared the public hearing open on the general plan amendment, the negative declaration, and the rezoning application. Mr. Joe Callahan, Callahan Pentz Properties, stated he has reviewed the staff report and has no objections. Mr. Larry Battleson, 675 Hamilton, Chairman of the Board of Directors for Valley Memorial Hospital, stated this group has no problems with the staff report. Council- men~ber Mohr asked about the twelve month holding period for the adjacent property. Mr. Bartleson stated this is an option but it has absolutely no bearing on development of the hospital site. Mr. Tom Andrews, 6537 Lansing Court, Administrator of Valley Memorial Hospital, stated he supports the applicant and the application. He reviewed the change in hospital services in recent years. He stated that the original acreage is no longer necessary for construction of a hospital to accommodate the Valley into the year 2000, therefore he felt the l~nd not needed should be released for other use. Mrs. Judy Mayhew, 5584 San Jose Drive, member of the General Plan Review Steering Committee, stated she felt this application is not in conformance with the intention of that Committee~ which was that if the hospital does not get built that the entire parcel should be developed as residential. Council advised this rezoning does not change the use of the hospital site but is a reconfiguration of the property. Mr. John Innes, former Chairman of the General Plan Review Steering Committee, and member of the Planning Commission, stated that when the General Plan Review Committee looked at this area it was their understanding that Commercial and Offices could not be developed until a hospital was developed, and if the hospital was not constructed it was the Committee's feeling that nothing should be done until the hospital makes the decision and actually applies for their subdivision map on their PUD at which time it could be determined how much of the outlying land would be used for support services. The way the committee look at it was what if there was no hospital built on that site then they said all 67 or 62 acres would go to high density residential like a major portion was already zoned. He stated there are two main points to consider: throughout the dis- cussions everyone believed there would be a restriction on use of Commercial and Offices until Valley Memorial or some hospital determined their land use; and secondly, if there was not going to be a hospital on the public site of 20 acres then all 62 acres should be recommended for high density residential. The original PUD that was approved by Council had a condition 3 which stated that Commercial and Office would not be developed until the hospital was developed. That has been removed and replaced with a condition 10. 10/16/84
