7A Planned Community Permit Page 5 The project will require a PC (Planned Community) Permit for the proposed hospital pavilion addition, parking structure, medicaf o�ce building and site and streetscape improvements. Consideration of the PC Permits is not appropriately before the City Council. Pursuant to Article 52 of the Zoning Ordinance, the City Cauncil is not granted jurisdiction to approve PC Permits. Article 52 only permits the City Council to hear an appeal on a PC Permit approved by the Planning Commission. The PC Permits will be considered at a subsequent public hearing before eit�er the Planr�ing Manager or her designee or the Planning Commission.

It is impossible to estimate the actual cosfi of this impact because of the high volume of traffic on this particuEar street. Rather than have jCC�UGEQ i-iu�}3ii�i �a�' ��i aCtUa� i.vi�Sii il�ti0i i tru�k raadway wear and tear to Wh±K1�?�e Avenue, staff is proposing to defer roadway slurry seal work over the next four to six years and Sequaia has agreed to pay for the equivalent of two slurry seafs ($60,oaa each), for a total cost ofi$120,000. The City would postpone installing the two slurry seal fireatments and instead use the fund towards a future overlay treatment or as required by t�e conditian o�F the p�vement at tha�time. //I lll Il! lI1 IIl 5
