5 � �-i� <br /> PROJECT UNDERSTANDING <br /> The project proposes renovations and expansion of the existing 11-acre Sequoia Hospital campus <br /> located at 170 Alameda de las Pulgas, at the northwest comer of Alameda de las Pulgas and Whipple <br /> Road, in Redwood City. Upon completion, the expanded hospital will include 134 hospital beds, <br /> 134,676 squaze feet of hospital space with a new central plant to serve the expansion area, 40,000 <br /> squaze feet of new medical office, and a five-level 632-space pazking structure that will provide 200 <br /> additional on-site parking spaces. The project proposes seismic retrofitting of the existing hospital, in <br /> � conformance with seismic safety standards mandated by the State of California under Senate Bill <br /> 1953, and renovation of approximately 38,000 squaze feet of the existing hospital. No helipad or <br /> helicopters flights in/out of the site are proposed by the project. <br /> � The project site currently has a General Plan land use designation of CommerciaUO�ce (single and <br /> two-story structures adjacent to residential neighborhoods) and is zoned "PO" (Professional Office). <br /> � While the proposed development project will affect only a portion of the hospital site, the City will <br /> prepare a Precise Plan that covers the entire 11-acre hospital campus, including the medical office and <br /> rehabilitarion center buildings and parking lots to the west of the main hospital. A General Plan <br /> � amendment is proposed on the development portion of the site, consistent with the Precise Plan, and <br /> the zoning designadon on the entire site will be changed to "P" (Planned Community) District. It is <br /> our understanding the Precise Plan will allow expansion of the westerly buildings on the site to the <br /> � maximum potential allowed under the current Professional Office zoning designation. The Precise <br /> Plan will be used to guide future growth on the site, including building orientation, vehicular and <br /> pedestrian circulation, parking and emergency vehicle access, and architectural character. It is our <br /> � understanding that Urban Design Guidelines may be adopted as part of the Precise Plan. <br /> � <br /> � <br /> � <br /> � <br /> � <br /> � <br /> � <br /> � <br /> Sequoia Hospital Campus Project/Precise Plan EIR Scope of Services <br /> � David J.
