What skills and/or
experience do you
possess that would be
important to your role
as a commissioner?
As a long time resident of Morgan Hill, I bring deep personal commitment and professional experience to this role. I grew up here, my late husband was raised here, and I raised my daughter in this community. My connection to Morgan Hill spans
generations, and I care deeply about its future.
I am an avid outdoors person and strongly believe that public parks are essential to healthy families and a thriving community.
Parks and recreation programs create opportunities for
connection, wellness, and belonging.
With an MBA, I bring skills in financial stewardship, strategic planning, and thoughtful decision-making. I understand the importance of fiscally responsible programs and long-term planning to support sustainable growth. I am eager to contribute a balanced, community-centered perspective and to serve the city I love.
What do you I understand that the Parks and Recreation Commission serves as a City Council-appointed advisory body that provides

commission?
guidance and recommendations on the planning, development, programming, and stewardship of parks, recreation facilities, trails, bicycle infrastructure, and related community activities for the residents of Morgan Hill.
Commissioners review opportunities for enhancing parks and recreation offerings, support initiatives such as youth activity programs and volunteer engagement, help coordinate community input, and advise on fiscally responsible strategies that align with City Council priorities and the approved work plan.
Recent focus areas include encouraging active participation in recreation programs, supporting trail and bicycle efforts, enhancing operations of facilities like the Magical Bridge Playground, identifying grant opportunities, and increasing volunteer involvement in park stewardship.
What would you like to
accomplish as a
commissioner?
As a commissioner, I would like to help ensure that Morgan Hill’s parks and recreation system continues to evolve in ways that are fiscally responsible, inclusive, and responsive to community needs. I would focus on supporting long-term planning that balances growth with sustainability, ensuring our parks, trails, and facilities are well maintained while thoughtfully expanding access and programming.
I am also interested in supporting and introducing events in our parks that give residents who may not regularly use these spaces a welcoming reason to participate. Community events, family activities, and inclusive programming can introduce new audiences to our parks and strengthen connections across neighborhoods.
What are the greatest
opportunities facing the
community in regards
to this commission?
One of the greatest opportunities facing the community through the Parks and Recreation Commission is expanding participation and access to parks and recreation programs for residents of all ages. Current priorities include encouraging youth engagement, exploring new programming, and creating more meaningful ways to involve young people in recreation planning, efforts that can strengthen long-term community health and connection.
There is also strong opportunity in grant funding exploration, enhancing volunteer and ambassador programs, including
support for spaces like the Magical Bridge Playground and initiatives such as Adopt-a-Park. Additionally, continuing to improve trail and bikeway connectivity can promote active lifestyles while increasing safe, accessible recreation options throughout Morgan Hill.

Dear Commissioners,
I am excited to submit my application to serve on the Parks and Recreation Commission. I care deeply about ensuring Morgan Hill’s parks and programs continue to grow in ways that are inclusive, fiscally responsible, and reflective of what our community needs most.
Please note that the attached resume is a professional resume rather than one focused on community service. In my professional role at Second Harvest Food Bank, I help support our mission daily and often volunteer in emergency food distributions, which keeps me closely connected to the real and evolving needs of our greater community.
I am especially passionate about supporting events and programming that give residents, particularly those who don’t often visit our parks, a reason to participate and feel connected.
Personally, I am also working toward a goal of walking the Camino de Santiago this April, which reflects my commitment to wellness, perseverance, and meaningful connection with outdoor recreation.
I would be honored to contribute my time, perspective, and energy to helping our parks system serve the entire community.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Dawn Barreras

What skills and/or
experience do you
possess that would be
important to your role
as a commissioner?
My professional background in data analytics and strategic planning, combined with my personal experience as an active resident, position me to make immediate contributions to the Commission.
As a Data Scientist, I specialize in analyzing complex datasets to predict future trends and optimize for maximum ROI. I plan on applying these skills to help the Commission ensure that our planning evolves alongside demographic shifts, and that every tax dollar is spent on delivering maximum value for the growing Morgan Hill community.
Additionally, my job frequently involves working with stakeholders from various teams that have diverging goals, often requiring me to manage different priorities and expectations while delivering solutions that work for everyone. I look forward to bringing this experience into the commission, helping ensure residents with different priorities/goals feel heard and valued!
What do you
understand the role of
the commission to be
and why would you like
to serve on this
commission?
I understand the Commission’s role is to act as an advisory body to the City Council, not just on programs, but on long-term planning and development. This includes ensuring that new projects align with plans/initiatives and advising on the budget to ensure fiscal responsibility.
I would like to serve because my wife and I recently chose Morgan Hill as our long-term home to raise our 6-month-old son.
We love the community, including the beautiful parks and trails, and want to help ensure Morgan Hill keeps its charm!
Additionally, as an avid runner, I am a frequent user of the city sidewalks/trails - which gives me a firsthand perspective on maintenance needs and potential safety blind spots. I want to combine this personal passion with my professional background in resource optimization.
What would you like to
accomplish as a
commissioner?
I have two main goals I would love to accomplish as a
commissioner:
1. Help the city make the smartest possible decisions with our parks budget by looking closely at what facilities residents actually use the most. I'd love to base decisions on actual usage data (when available) so investments in parks/cultural facilities deliver the greatest benefit to the community.
2. I want to ensure our playgrounds and neighborhood parks are safe, shaded, and well-maintained for families raising their kids here in Morgan Hill. I want to also ensure our park development and recreation programs are keeping up with the growth in our community.
What are the greatest
opportunities facing the
community in regards
to this commission?
I believe Morgan Hill is attracting a lot of young families such as mine, and the commission has the unique opportunity to
modernize our spaces to fit what residents actually need today.
Instead of just maintaining what was built decades ago, we have the chance to really look at how our parks are being used and ask the right questions, such as: Do we need more open grass, or do we need better-shaded playgrounds, cleaner restrooms, and spaces for growing sports? The biggest opportunity is ensuring our parks and amenities deliver value not only for current residents, but for future residents as well!

Honorable Members of the Morgan Hill City Council,
I am writing to express my interest in serving on the Morgan Hill Parks and Recreation Commission. My wife and I chose to plant our roots here to raise our six-month-old son, drawn to the city's small-town charm, great parks/trails, and welcoming community. I would be honored to actively contribute my time to help ensure our public amenities remain high quality.
By Day, I am a Data Scientist who specializes in identifying and forecasting trends whilst optimizing resource allocation to maximize ROI. I would love to apply my analytical mindset to the Commission’s work, ensuring our project recommendations are strategically sound and sustainable (especially in light of the budgetary constraints the city is facing).
Beyond my professional background, I am a dedicated user of our city’s trails and parks. As a runner, I have a boots on the ground perspective of Morgan Hill’s trails, parks, and streets. This daily engagement makes me quite interested in the execution of the Comprehensive Safety Action Plan to ensure our trails, sidewalks and parks are safe all throughout our community.
I would be honored to bring both my data-driven professional expertise and my personal dedication as a local father to the Parks and Recreation Commission, helping to ensure our amenities scale sustainably alongside our growing community.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Kais B. Zafer

What skills and/or
experience do you
possess that would be
important to your role
as a commissioner?
My professional experience has strengthened three skills that I believe are essential for a Planning Commissioner: the ability to learn quickly, communicate clearly, and collaborate effectively.
In my role with the Office of the Clerk of the Board at Valley Water, I regularly work with complex agenda materials, policies, and legal requirements. This has required me to become a fast and thoughtful learner—able to absorb new information,
understand the broader context, and ensure details are accurate and compliant. At the same time, I recognize the importance of humility in that process. When working with subject-matter experts, attorneys, engineers, or policy staff, I understand when it is appropriate to defer to those with deeper technical expertise while I continue building my own understanding. My approach is to listen carefully, ask informed questions, and learn from experienced colleagues so that over time I can contribute more meaningfully. That balance—being proactive about learning while respecting expertise—is something I value in collaborative decision-making environments.
Clear communication is also central to my work. I coordinate with staff across departments, board members, and the public to ensure information is accurate, accessible, and well understood.
I value asking thoughtful questions, listening carefully, and helping keep discussions focused and productive.
Finally, collaboration has been a constant thread throughout my career. Whether coordinating with internal teams, supporting a governing board, or organizing large initiatives and events, I work to bring people together around shared goals. As a
commissioner, I would approach decisions with curiosity, respect for different perspectives, and a commitment to working constructively with fellow commissioners, staff, and the community.
What do you
understand the role of
the commission to be
and why would you like
to serve on this
commission?
My understanding is that the Planning Commission plays an important role in reviewing development proposals, evaluating how they align with the City’s General Plan and zoning
regulations, and making recommendations or decisions that shape how Morgan Hill grows. The commission serves as a bridge between city staff, applicants, and the community, helping ensure that projects are thoughtfully considered and consistent with the city’s long-term vision.
As a community member, I have often found myself paying attention to local development and asking questions about how certain decisions are made. That curiosity is a large part of why I would like to serve. Rather than remaining on the outside of the process, I would value the opportunity to better understand the planning framework, the constraints the City works within, and the many factors that must be balanced in land-use decisions.
I also believe I could contribute a practical perspective. In my professional experience, I focus on how systems and decisions fit together and whether they make sense both individually and as part of a larger plan. I value thoughtful organization, clarity, and long-term thinking. As a commissioner, I would aim to approach proposals with an open mind, ask constructive
questions, and ensure that decisions reflect both the City’s policies and the everyday experience of the community.
Finally, I think an important part of public service is helping build trust in the process. I would hope to serve as someone who can listen to community concerns, think through issues carefully, and help communicate why decisions are made. Even when people may disagree with an outcome, transparency and clear
reasoning can go a long way toward strengthening confidence in local government.
What would you like to I care deeply about Morgan Hill and would want my service on the commission to help the city grow thoughtfully while
accomplish as a
commissioner? preserving the character that makes it special. My goal would be to support planning decisions that keep Morgan Hill a place where families want to live, where neighborhoods feel connected, and where development fits naturally within the community.
I’m especially motivated by the idea that the decisions being made today will shape the city my children and future
generations experience. If selected, I would approach the role with care, common sense, and a long-term perspective, always asking whether a decision helps maintain the identity and quality of life that people value about Morgan Hill.
What are the greatest
opportunities facing the
community in regards
to this commission?
One of the greatest opportunities facing the community is guiding growth in a way that strengthens Morgan Hill while preserving the qualities that make people choose to live here. Cities across California are evolving, and the Planning Commission has a meaningful role in helping ensure that new development fits thoughtfully within the existing community rather than feeling disconnected from it.
I see a real opportunity to focus on how projects relate to their surroundings—how neighborhoods connect, how public spaces function, and how development contributes to the overall character of the city. When planning is done well, it creates places that feel intentional, cohesive, and lasting.
There is also an opportunity to build understanding and trust in the process. Development decisions can sometimes feel
confusing or frustrating for residents, and I think the commission can play an important role in helping the community understand the reasoning behind decisions and how they align with the city’s long-term plans.

City of Morgan Hill
Office of the City Clerk
Dear Members of the Selection Committee,
I am writing to express my interest in serving on the Morgan Hill Planning Commission. My professional experience combines public-sector governance with private-sector planning and logistics, giving me a thoughtful and practical perspective on how decisions shape communities.
In my current role with the Office of the Clerk of the Board at Valley Water, I work closely with a governing body and the public processes that support transparent decision-making. I prepare and review board agenda materials, ensure compliance with the Brown Act and other legal requirements, and help maintain the legislative record of the agency. This work requires careful attention to detail, neutrality, and a deep respect for the role public boards play in shaping policy and community outcomes. Being part of that process has strengthened my understanding of how thoughtful preparation and clarity lead to better decisions.
Earlier in my career with Target, I developed a strong foundation in planning, spatial awareness, and logistics as a Visual Merchandising Lead and Stores Visual Director. The work centered on how elements function together—how placement, flow, and organization influence the overall experience. I often think of this as the discipline of juxtaposition: ensuring that what sits next to something else makes sense, serves a purpose, and contributes to a cohesive whole. That same mindset translates naturally to planning and development. Communities function best when design, infrastructure, access, and long-term vision are aligned.
Across both roles, a common thread in my work is a commitment to making systems function clearly and effectively. Whether reviewing agenda items for completeness and compliance or coordinating complex store transitions and staffing logistics, I focus on the details that allow larger plans to succeed. I value collaboration, thoughtful analysis, and asking the practical question: does this make sense, both individually and as part of the bigger picture? I am particularly interested in contributing these skills to Morgan Hill’s continued growth.
Planning decisions have lasting impacts, and I would welcome the opportunity to support development that is balanced, transparent, and responsive to the community.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I would be honored to contribute my experience in governance processes, planning logistics, and collaborative problem-solving to the Planning Commission.
Sincerely,
Charlotte D. Reinthaler, CMC

Daisy Villasenor
Dear Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council,
Please accept this letter as a formal expression of my interest in serving on the Morgan Hill Planning Commission. As someone who was born and raised here, I have a deep appreciation for our city’s history and a real stake in its future. Now, as I turn 30, I am eager to take my years of community involvement and put them to work in a formal role that helps shape the city’s growth for the next generation.
My background offers a mix of technical expertise and community-centered leadership.
In my career as a Health Information Management (HIM) Specialist at Kaiser Permanente, my daily work is all about accuracy and following state and county rules. This has prepared me to dive into the details of environmental studies and zoning codes with a sharp eye. I’m used to making decisions based on facts and evidence, and I understand how important it is to keep things transparent and high-quality when handling public information.
For over a decade, I’ve had the privilege of being a cheer coach for the Morgan Hill Raiders and Britton Middle School. The experience taught me that coaching is about so much more than just the sport. I’ve learned a lot when working through disagreements and concerns with parents, listening to students, and keeping a cool head when things get stressful. I’ve learned how to be fair and transparent, which I think is exactly what’s needed when discussing the future of our town.
Growing up here, I still remember our city’s deep agricultural roots, but I also see the real-world challenges we’re facing with growth and housing. I am personally invested in making sure Morgan Hill stays a place where the kids I coach today can actually afford to grow up, work, and start their own families tomorrow. I am also a huge fan of our local landscapes. I would love to bring that passion to the Commission to ensure that as we grow, we continue to prioritize the green, native, and water-efficient landscaping that keeps Morgan Hill beautiful.
I am fully prepared to commit the time needed for meetings, site visits, and the "homework" required for each project. I believe my professional background and my roots as a coach would make me a balanced and dedicated addition to the Commission.
Thank you for your time and for everything you do for our city. I look forward to the possibility of discussing how I can help.
Sincerely,
Daisy Villasenor

What skills and/or
experience do you
possess that would be
important to your role
as a commissioner?
I bring 30 years of business and leadership experience, working on complex issues that require clear strategic thinking and sound pragmatic judgment. I have led large teams, managed highpressure situations, and built consensus among people with different viewpoints. My long-standing involvement in the local running community, Freedom Fest, and other volunteer efforts has given me a strong connection to Morgan Hill and an
understanding of how city decisions affect residents. I am skilled at listening to different perspectives, asking thoughtful questions, and weighing trade-offs. I would bring a balanced, communityfocused, and detail-oriented approach to my role as a commissioner.
What do you
understand the role of
the commission to be
and why would you like
to serve on this
commission?
The Planning Commission reviews development and land use proposals, approves certain permits, and advises the City Council on how Morgan Hill should grow and change. It helps ensure projects align with the city’s long-term growth plans and considers their impact on residents and quality of life. I’d like to serve because I care a lot about how our city evolves, and how we skillfully manage our expected growth rate over the next 10
years.
What would you like to
accomplish as a
commissioner?
I want to help Morgan Hill continue to grow in a way that feels exciting and sustainable for the people who live and work here. I embrace the growth we’re seeing, the businesses it brings, and the energy it adds to our downtown. At the same time, I want to make sure we protect the charm, character, and history that make Morgan Hill feel like home. As a commissioner, I’d focus on decisions that support a vibrant local economy without placing unnecessary burdens on residents and businesses, aiming for the right balance between welcoming change and preserving what makes this community special.
What are the greatest
opportunities facing the
community in regards
to this commission?
One of the biggest opportunities is to help Morgan Hill grow in a way that feels intentional and true to who we are as a
community. The commission can encourage development that supports our growing population with the right mix of housing, services, and businesses, with a clear focus on sustainable growth. That includes continuing to invest in a vibrant downtown and creating more neighborhood-friendly spaces that
complement residential areas, like Lawson’s Bakery on
Monterey. It also means balancing new housing with the
infrastructure and services needed to support it. Overall, there is an opportunity to support projects that make it easier to live, work, and spend time here without losing our town charm. The last thing we want to do is become another San Jose.

Dear Members of the Morgan Hill City Council,
I’ve lived in Morgan Hill for 25 years, and during that time I’ve come to care deeply about our city and the people who live here. I’m applying to serve on the Planning Commission because I want to help ensure that Morgan Hill’s growth and development remain thoughtful, deliberate, and reflective of what makes our community special.

Those roles have given me the chance to collaborate with the community, make lifelong friends, and contribute to Morgan Hill in meaningful ways.
I’d like to now serve our town on the team that helps guide Morgan Hill’s future growth so it continues to serve everyone who lives here today and in the future.
Thank you for considering my application.

Steve Adamo
Morgan Hill CA 95037
Thank you for considering my resume for consideration as a member of City Commissions. I kept the resume succinct as I thought that would be appreciated.
I retired in October of 2020 at the “top of my game” and I think…a young age, 58 ;-)
Sorry for the bit of silliness…but I like to bring a bit of levity to serious work…it helps to relieve some of the stress in what can be a stressful environment in collaborating with so many diverse opinions and “needs”. I have worked in this environment where a balance must be found but with a focus on the “reality” of what the “super-majority” needs and wants are and aligning with established goals and standards.
I am super-interested in supporting our community of Morgan Hill and still like to “work hard” and commit to roles that I assume. I am more interested in serving on the Planning Commission but would also be happy to serve for the Parks Commission. While you did not ask for references, I would encourage you speak with Chris Ghione as he is somewhat familiar with my relative work and experiences.
Respectfully
Steve Adamo

REPORT NARRATIVE:
On February 6 and 7, 2026, the City Council held its annual Goal Setting Workshop, partially facilitated by Jacob Green and Associates (JGA). In advance of the Workshop, JGA conducted individual interviews with each Council Member to identify their priorities and perspectives. During the Workshop, Council Members reviewed and discussed these priorities collectively, reaffirmed the City’s Vision, and considered refinements to the Strategic and Ongoing Priorities.
As a result of these discussions, the City Council suggested the following updates to the Strategic and Ongoing Priorities for 2026–2027:
2 • Added Public Safety as a Strategic Priority.
• Added Economic Mobility as a Strategic Priority to support disadvantaged areas and expand opportunities for the Community.
• Removed Community Engagement as a standalone Strategic Priority and incorporated it into the Ongoing Priority of Preserving and Cultivating Public Trust.
• Removed Transportation as a standalone Strategic Priority, recognizing that transportation-related initiatives are embedded within other priority areas and ongoing infrastructure efforts.
• Revised “Healthy Community” to “Promoting a Healthy Community” and moved it to the list of Ongoing Priorities.
Definitions for the new Strategic Priorities were drafted, and minor refinements were made to existing definitions to ensure alignment with the current staff workplan. The updated 2026-2027 Sustainable Morgan Hill document is attached.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT:
Involve - the City Council Goal Setting Workshops were open to the public and recorded for later viewing on the City's website.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:

FISCAL AND RESOURCE IMPACT:

STRATEGIC PRIORITIES 20246-20257
SUSTAINABLE MORGAN HILL morganhill.ca.gov
Public Safety
Morgan Hill is committed to advancing a comprehensive vision of public safety that protects and enhances the quality of life for all Community members. Public safety extends beyond traditional police and fire response to include proactive Community policing, youth engagement, coordinated mental health and crisis response, traffic safety, crime prevention, and the creation of safe and welcoming public spaces. Through the collaborative efforts of Police, Fire, and Public Services, the City will promote prevention, preparedness, and resilience by maintaining safe infrastructure, responding efficiently to emergencies, and addressing emerging Community risks. Guided by 21st-century policing principles, transparency, accountability, and Community partnership, the City will align resources strategically to build public trust and ensure a safe, inclusive, and thriving Community for all.
SUSTAINABLE MORGAN HILL morganhill.ca.gov
Production of New Affordable Housing Units: Morgan
Hill will continue to improve, preserve, and develop new safe, quality, rental and ownership housing for workers and residents at all income levels through the
implementation of its Inclusionary Housing Ordinance
(IHO). The City will seek partnerships that create new
housing opportunities directly aligned with the City’s “fair share” Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA).
Preservation of Existing Affordable Housing
Inventory: The City has a robust inventory of Below
Market Rate (BMR) ownership and rental housing units.
Through the City’s thoughtful planning, affordable
housing is integrated throughout the Community and
balanced throughout new developments. The City’s IHO
further ensures the future production and preservation
of income-restricted units. The City will coordinates the sale of and lease up process of upcoming new and
previously owned affordable homes developments to
ensure residents are made aware of and accessing
upcoming housing opportunities.
Affordable Housing and Homelessness
Morgan Hill will continue to improve, preserve, and develop new safe, quality, rental, and ownership housing for workers and residents at all income levels. To the extent possible, the City will respond to and reconcile new housing initiatives and legislative mandates. The City is guided by the vision of its General Plan, a long-term plan for the physical development of the Community.
The vision includes the preservation of agriculture, incentives to foster infill development, and new housing for families of various sizes, ages, and incomes. Like many other cities in the Bay Area, Morgan Hill is experiencing transformative growth and working to meet the housing needs of its current and future residents. The City’s Housing Program is grounded in five key pillars:
Promotion of Housing Program: The City manages an
inventory of BMR deed-restricted ownership and rental units and collaborates with the County of Santa Clara and local nonprofits to connect residents to housing resources. Staff will focus on communications, engagement, and education of
housing resources and services with particular attention to the Spanish-speaking residents.
Prevention of Homelessness: Implement the Countywide
Community Plan to End Homelessness by continuing to identify barriers and housing problem solving at the local level through the assistance of the Unhoused Specialist, and advance efforts to increase coordination in South County among its service providers. The City will continue to employ a balanced
approach, offering resources and referrals to services, partnering with the our faith-based community and non-profits to create appropriate local service points, while also utilizing available resources to reduce encampments.
Protection of Quality of Life for New and Existing
Neighborhoods Ensuring Healthy Neighborhoods for All:
The City will continue to seek quality development that balances the needs of existing and new neighborhoods.

Economic Development and Tourism
The City’s Economic Development efforts focus on implementing the Economic Blueprint strategies and actions to help build long-term fiscal sustainability and improve quality of life for residents. This will be achieved by attracting jobs and commercial investment which generate revenues to support essential City services and improve critical City infrastructure. The Economic Blueprint is focused on advancing economic prosperity and vitality by attracting investment, development, and jobs in four key industries:
Healthcare: Grow and foster medical and diagnostic
services by advancing and supporting the entitlement
process for new medical facilities. Promote and market
Morgan Hill as a desired location for medical and diagnostic providers.
Innovation and Advanced Manufacturing: Grow existing
companies, attract new industry, and grow high-quality
jobs. Support and advance the entitlement and permit
process of new developments. Promote and market
Morgan Hill as a premier location for commercial and
industrial investment.

REPORT NARRATIVE:
At the February 6, 2026, City Council Goal Setting Workshop, the City Council discussed the public comment timing provisions of CP 97-01 and directed staff to update the policy to memorialize the City’s current informal practice of adjusting individual speaking time when many speakers are present, in order to balance public participation with the efficient conduct of the agenda. The updated language specifies that speaking time may be reduced from 3 minutes to 2 minutes when more than 10 speakers are present, and to 1 minute when more than 20 speakers are present. The Mayor or Presiding Officer retains discretion to modify speaker time limits when necessary to maintain orderly meeting management and ensure fair opportunities for public participation.
To memorialize the City’s current practice, staff recommends the City Council adopt the proposed amendments to CP 97-01, Section 6.2, Limitations (Attachment 1), which clarify public comment time limits. The proposed language is as follows:
6.2 Limitations: The public comment period may be 3 minutes for items on the agenda or items not listed on the agenda. If there are many speakers, the Mayor or Presiding Officer may reduce speaking time to 2 minutes for more than 10 speakers and to 1 minute for more than 20 speakers. The Mayor or Presiding Officer retains discretion to modify speaker time limits when necessary to maintain orderly meeting management and ensure fair opportunities for public participation. Speakers are called in the order in
3 which their speaker cards are submitted. Project applicants or appellants will be allowed more than the designated 3 minutes in accordance with City Council Policy 03-01.
Consistent with this policy, the Mayor or Presiding Officer may recall an applicant or appellant to address questions after the public comment is heard. In addition, applicants will be given time at the end of the public hearing to address any questions or comments.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT:
This report serves to inform the Community of the potential change in Council policy.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:
The City Council may direct staff to make additional changes, make different changes, or make no changes to City Council Policy 97-01.

Members of the City Council may request items to be added to an upcoming City Council agenda by requesting an item during the "Future Council Initiated Agenda Items" Section of the agenda.

If the requested item is not included in the current Strategic Priorities Workplan, the team will bring it forward at a
City Council Policy 97-01
Rules for the Conduct of City Council Meetings
future Council Meeting within 30-45 days of the request, via a brief staff report that includes the brief summary provided by the requesting Council Member.

a. Upon a majority determination that an "emergency" (as defined by State Law) exists; and

SECTION 6. PUBLIC COMMENT
6.1 Public Comment: Persons present at meetings of the City Council may comment on individual items on the agenda at the time the items are scheduled to be heard. In addition, comments may be offered on items not on the agenda under that portion of the agenda. In accordance with State law, matters not scheduled on the agenda cannot be acted upon by the City Council. Still, items raised during public comment may be referred to a future City Council agenda at the request of the Mayor or City Council.
6.2 Limitations: The public comment period may be 3 minutes for items on the agenda or items not listed on the agenda. If there are many speakers, the Mayor or Presiding Officer may reduce speaking time to 2 minutes for more than 10 speakers and to 1 minute for more than 20 speakers. The Mayor or Presiding Officer retains discretion to modify speaker time limits when necessary to maintain orderly meeting management and ensure fair opportunity for public participation. Speakers are called in the order in which their speaker cards are submitted. Project applicants or appellants will be allowed more than the designated 3 minutes in accordance with City Council Policy 03-01. Consistent with this policy, the Mayor or Presiding Officer may recall an applicant or appellant to address questions after the public comment is heard. In addition, applicants will be given time at the end of the public hearing to address any questions or comments.
The Mayor or Presiding Officer may allow speakers who wish to speak under public comment for items not on the agenda to concede a portion of their time. Specifically, one speaker may concede a portion of their time to one other speaker. For all other business items, the Mayor or Presiding Officer may allow speakers more time and/or allow speakers to concede a portion of their time to a designated speaker from a group.
Specifically, up to two speakers may concede their time to one speaker, unless a majority of the City Council objects. Speakers who wish to designate a group speaker shall notify the City Clerk before discussion on the item begins. Additionally, any speaker who concedes their time must be present at that City Council meeting. Speakers who would like to share documents or presentations may do so by submitting said documents to the City Clerk by noon on the day of the City Council Meeting. Speakers may not share videos or presentations that contain embedded videos.

SECTION 7. PROCEDURES FOR THE CONDUCT OF MEETINGS
7.1 Role of the Mayor/Presiding Officer:
a. The Presiding Officer of the City Council, who shall be the Mayor or, in the mayor’s absence, shall be the Mayor Pro Tempore, or in their absence any other designated member of the City Council, shall be responsible for maintaining the order and decorum of meetings. It shall be the duty and responsibility of the Presiding Officer to ensure that the rules of operation and decorum contained herein are observed. The Presiding Officer shall maintain control of communication between Council Members and between the Council, staff, and public.
b. Communication with Council Members:
1. Council Members should request the floor from the Presiding Officer before speaking.
2. When one member of the Council has the floor and is speaking, other Council Members shall not interrupt or otherwise disturb the speaker.
3. During both questions, when one Council Member has the floor, they are limited to 5 minutes. During discussion, the Mayor and Council Members as a whole are limited to 15 minutes. The time limit may be extended at the Mayor’s discretion.
4. With the concurrence of the Mayor, a Council Member holding the floor may address a question to another Council Member. The Council Member being questioned may or may not respond while the floor remains with the Council Member asking the question. The reply shall be limited to the question asked. c. The Mayor or Presiding Officer may declare that an item within the meeting will be conducted in “workshop” format, which means that the procedures described in section 7.1B do not strictly apply. This is to allow for a more open discussion without strict formalities. The Mayor or Presiding Officer may end the workshop format for the item at their discretion.
d. Communication with Members of the Public Addressing the Council
City Council Policy 97-01
Rules for the Conduct of City Council Meetings
1. The Mayor or Presiding Officer shall open the floor for public testimony as appropriate.
2. After a witness or subject matter expert has addressed the City Council during public comment, Council members may only ask questions of witnesses or subject matter experts. Such questions should be directed to the person through the Presiding Officer unless the Presiding Officer grants the Council Member permission to question the person directly.
3. Staff members, through the City Manager, shall be a resource to the City Council to answer questions arising during discussions between Council Members and between Council Members and members of the public.
Communications in this regard shall be through the Presiding Officer.
4. Members of the public shall direct their questions and comments through the Presiding Officer.
7.2 Rules of Order: The City Council adopts no specific rules of order except those listed herein. The City Council shall refer to Rosenberg’s Rules of Order (available at https://www.cacities.org/UploadedFiles/LeagueInternet/77/77d4ee2b-c0bc-4ec2-881b42ccdbbe73c9.pdf) as a guide for the conduct of meetings. The guideline that governmental bodies need not require seconds for motions, resolutions, or ordinances is not adopted as a rule in the City. The Mayor or Presiding Officer has the discretion to impose reasonable rules at any particular meeting based upon facts and circumstances found at any particular meeting. These latter rules will be followed unless a majority of the City Council members present objects.
7.3 Motions: The Mayor or any member of the City Council may bring a matter of business on the agenda before the Council by making a motion. Before the matter can be considered or debated, it must be seconded. Once the motion has been properly made and seconded, the Presiding Officer shall open the matter for full debate, offering the first opportunity to debate to the moving party and, thereafter, to any Council Member recognized by the Mayor or Presiding Officer. The debate shall be closed upon the consent of a majority of the Council.
7.4 Reconsideration: Immediately after a vote on a matter, any member of the City Council may request to have their vote changed on a matter before the Council moves on to the next item. Such a request will be granted by the Mayor or Presiding Officer unless a majority of the Council objects.
A matter may be reconsidered by the City Council if a member on the prevailing side of the vote requests reconsideration. Such a motion may be made at a meeting where the action is taken or at a subsequent Council meeting; however, nothing in this policy precludes a majority of City Council members from requesting reconsideration of any item.
7.5 Debate:
a. The discussions and deliberations at meetings of the City Council are to secure the informed judgment of Council members on proposals submitted for decision. This purpose is best served by exchanging ideas through discussion and debate.
City Council Policy 97-01
Rules for the Conduct of City Council Meetings
Debate is regulated by these rules to ensure every member has a reasonable and equal opportunity to be heard.
b. Obtaining the Floor for Debate:
As soon as a debatable motion has been stated to the Council by the Mayor or Presiding Officer, any member of the Council has a right to discuss it after obtaining the floor. The member obtains the floor by seeking recognition from the Mayor or Presiding Officer. A member who has been recognized is entitled to be heard so long as they observe the rules of debate.
c. Speaking More Than Once:
To encourage the full participation of all members of the Council, no member or members shall be permitted to monopolize questions or discussion. If a Council member has already spoken, other members wishing to speak should be recognized before those who have already spoken. However, if no other members seek recognition, the Mayor or Presiding Officer may recognize the member who has already spoken.
d. Relevancy of Debate:
All discussion must be relevant to the motion before the City Council. A member is given the floor only to discuss the pending question; any discussion that departs is out of order. The Mayor or Presiding Officer should then direct the speaker to limit discussion to the question before the City Council.
A motion-its nature or consequences-may be attacked vigorously. But it is never permissible to attack the motives, character, or personality of a member either directly or by innuendo or implication. It is the duty of the Mayor or Presiding Officer instantly to stop any member who engages in personal attacks. It is the motion, not its proposer, that is the subject of debate. Meetings must discuss measures and ideas, not people.
Arguments, for or against a measure, should be stated as concisely as possible.
Debate must be fundamentally impersonal. All discussion is addressed to the Mayor or Presiding Officer and must never be directed to any individual. e. Mayor’s Duties During Debate:
The Mayor or Presiding Officer is responsible for controlling and expediting debate. A Council member who has been recognized to speak on a question has a right to the undivided attention of the Council.
It is the duty of the Mayor or Presiding Officer to keep the subject clearly before the members, to rule out irrelevant discussion, and to restate the question whenever necessary.
SECTION 8. DECORUM
8.1 Council Members: Members of the City Council value and recognize the importance of
City Council Policy 97-01
Rules for the Conduct of City Council Meetings
the trust invested in them by the public to accomplish the business of the City. Council Members shall accord the utmost courtesy to each other, to City employees, and to the public appearing before the City Council.
8.2 City Employees: Members of City staff shall observe the same rules of order and decorum applicable to the City Council. City staff shall act at all times in a business and professional manner towards Council Members and members of the public.
8.3 Public: Members of the public attending City Council meetings shall observe the same rules of order and decorum applicable to the City Council.
8.4 Noise in the Chamber: Noise emanating from the audience within the Council Chamber or lobby area, which disrupts City Council meetings, shall not be permitted.

SECTION 9. VIOLATIONS OF PROCEDURES
9.1 Nothing in these policies and procedures shall invalidate a properly noticed and acted upon action of the City Council in accordance with State Law.
This policy shall remain in effect until modified by the City Council.

REPORT NARRATIVE:
As part of the City Council’s expectation to maintain a high level of transparency and to be responsible stewards of public funds, staff are providing this monthly budget update, along with the January 2026 financial and investment reports.
January 2026 Financial Report
The Revenue and Expense Summary through January 2026 is included on page 4 of the attached monthly financial and investment reports. Overall, General Fund revenues total $28.0 million or about 48% of the budget. Expenditures and encumbrances through January totaled $37.3 million, of which approximately $2.7 million is attributable to outstanding encumbrances, compared to prior year expenditures, including encumbrances, of $36.5 million. This represents an increase of $0.8 million, including encumbrances, compared to the prior year. Excluding encumbrances, expenditures increased by about $1.4 million, primarily due to negotiated salary adjustments and overall cost increases.
Budget Update
There has been no material change since the last budget update to the Council on February 6, 2026. Regarding water revenue, Morgan Hill residents consumed about the same amount of water through January compared to the prior three-year average. As a result, no revenue stabilization water rate was implemented.

FINANCIAL STATEMENT ANALYSIS - FISCAL YEAR 2025-26
FOR THE MONTH ENDED JANUARY 2026 – 58% OF YEAR COMPLETE General Fund – Revenues through January totaled $28.0 million, or about 48% of the budget. For property tax revenue, the County estimates the City will receive approximately $21.7 million in property tax revenue for the current fiscal year, slightly exceeding the budget of $21.4 million.
However, after adjusting for the excess ERAF set-aside of 20%, or $0.6 million, the property tax revenue shows a slight decrease over the budget. As for sales tax, the consultant’s latest projection estimates the City’s current fiscal year sales tax revenue at approximately $12.4 million, a slight increase from the prior projection of $12.1 million, primarily due to one-time adjustments.
The chart below shows historical General Fund revenues by major revenue category from FY21-22 through FY24-25 Actual, FY25-26 Budget, and YTD as of January 31, 2026.
General Fund expenditures and encumbrances through January totaled $37.3 million, of which approximately $2.7 million is attributable to outstanding encumbrances, compared to prior year expenditures, including encumbrances, of $36.5 million. This represents an increase of $0.8 million, including encumbrances, compared to the prior year. Excluding encumbrances, expenditures increased by about $1.4 million, primarily due to negotiated salary adjustments, and overall cost increases. Community Services – The Community Services Department’s recreation operations, as reflected in the schedule presented on page 7 of the Monthly Financial and Investments Reports, shows a negative impact to the General Fund of approximately $1.6 million as of January 31, 2026. Recreation operations are expected to be on target with budget.

FINANCIAL STATEMENT ANALYSIS - FISCAL YEAR 2025-26
FOR THE MONTH ENDED JANUARY 2026 – 58% OF YEAR COMPLETE The chart below shows the historical net impact of Recreation Operations to the general fund.
Due to longstanding governmental accounting and budgeting convention, the City’s recreation operations are not charged for indirect costs (known in Morgan Hill as “General Fund Administration”) from the central services departments of City Attorney, City Manager, and Administrative Services.
The City’s other governmental funds, such as Development Services, and the proprietary funds, such as Water and Wastewater, and the Information Services Fund, are assessed such charges through the City’s indirect cost allocation plan, prepared in compliance with the guidelines set forth in the Code of Federal Regulations Title 2, Chapter II, Part 200 (formerly OMB Circular No. A-87), which mandates certain calculation and cost allocation practices that must be followed in order to qualify for Federal grant funding, but which also represents best practice for non-grant funded City operations like utilities and information services.
Development Services Fund – Revenues through January totaled $5.2 million, compared to approximately $3.5 million for the same period last year, primarily due to updated fees and increased activity. Expenditures, including encumbrances, totaled $3.9 million. Debt Service Funds – Expenditures through January totaled $0.6 million. The debt service for the first half of the year includes both interest and principal, while the second half will include interest only.
Debt service payments were scheduled when the bonds were issued and are budgeted for the months specified in the underlying bond documents. The General Fund’s portion of the annual debt service payments is approximately $200,000, less than one percent of the General Fund’s budgeted revenues. ($2.0)

REPORT NARRATIVE:
Purpose
The purpose of the proposed Zoning Map Amendment and Planned Development (PD)
6 Master Plan Amendment is to update the adopted Rosewood (formerly Lillian Commons) Medical Mixed-Use Master Plan to support a medical campus and ensure a primarily medical-serving use. The proposed amendments are intended to provide flexibility for evolving healthcare delivery models, market conditions, and phasing needs, while maintaining enforceable standards that ensure medical uses remain the dominant component of the campus.
Project Description
The proposed PD Master Plan Amendment would allow development of up to 275,000 square feet of medical and related commercial uses on the medical campus portion of the Rosewood Master Plan area. The amendment modifies adopted development standards and the PD land use table. Key components include:
Development Standards
• Increase allowable medical/commercial square footage from 125,000 square feet to a total of 275,000 square feet.
• Increase maximum building height from 55 feet to 65 feet, enabling up to sixstory medical office buildings. • Increase maximum building coverage from 50 percent to 60 percent. • Remove floor area ratio (FAR) standards from the PD Master Plan development standards, consistent with the City’s recent City Council action to eliminate FAR requirements for Mixed Use Flex (MU-F) zoning citywide. • Modify parking requirements for medical office uses from one space per 200 square feet to one space per 250 square feet of net floor area.
Parking and Circulation
Parking for the medical campus is regulated by the PD Master Plan. The amendment would modify the medical office parking requirement from one space per 200 square feet to one space per 250 square feet of net floor area. This adjustment reflects current medical office parking demand and supports more efficient campus planning, including structured parking and reduced reliance on surface parking. The conceptual buildout analyzed in the Final SEIR includes a structured parking facility. Final parking counts, stall dimensions, accessible stalls, circulation, and loading areas will be reviewed through a future Design Permit and building permit review to confirm compliance with the PD Master Plan, Zoning Ordinance, and applicable building and fire codes. The project Transportation Analysis evaluated parking demand based on anticipated medical office uses and concluded the revised standard would adequately serve the site. Applicable impact fees and required improvements would be addressed through the City’s adopted programs and future permit review.
Aesthetics and Building Height
The amendment would increase the maximum permitted building height within the medical campus from 55 feet to 65 feet. This supports a more compact campus layout and allows development to occur vertically, which can reduce overall building footprint and facilitate structured parking. The PD framework requires that building massing,
6 articulation, materials, and site design be compatible with surrounding development.
The site plan evaluated in the environmental analysis is conceptual and used for CEQA purposes only. Final building placement, setbacks, stepbacks, façade treatments, and architectural design will be evaluated through the Design Permit process, with attention to transitions and compatibility where the medical campus interfaces with adjacent residential uses. The Final SEIR evaluated potential aesthetic impacts associated with the increased height and concluded impacts would be less than significant.
Land Use Permissions and Medical Campus Framework
Land Use Permissions:
The proposed PD Master Plan Amendment updates the land use tables to expand flexibility for a medical campus.
Land Uses proposed to change from
conditional to permitted:
• Daycare Centers
• Farmers Markets
• Hotel and Motels
• Restaurants. Fast Food and Sit
Down
Land Uses added as conditional:
• Assisted Living Facilities
• Skilled Nursing Facilities
Medical Campus Framework
The applicant requested Assisted Living Facilities and Skilled Nursing Facilities be added as permitted uses and to change Residential Care Facilities from conditional to permitted uses. In order to protect the intent of the medical campus, staff added a layered framework to preserve the Master Plan’s primary medical-serving intent, while maintaining flexibility for future market conditions and healthcare delivery changes. The framework operates through three enforceable checks:
1. Square footage cap for nonmedical uses:
At least 75 percent of the total developed gross building square footage within the Medical Campus must be medical uses. Non-medical uses may not exceed 25 percent of total developed gross building square footage. At full buildout of 275,000 square feet, this equates to approximately 206,250 square feet minimum of medical and 68,750 square feet maximum of non-medical.
2. “Medical” use definition:
Medical uses are defined as hospital facilities, medical office buildings, outpatient facilities, clinics, diagnostic and imaging centers, non-residential facilities providing diagnosis and treatment, and similar clinical uses consistent with Title 18 of the Morgan Hill Municipal Code. Long-term supportive healthcare residential uses such as skilled nursing facilities, nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and residential care facilities are not considered medical uses under this PD Master Plan Amendment.
6 3. Phasing and permit sequencing:
The City may not approve or issue building permits for nonmedical uses until building permits have been issued for at least 50,000 square feet of medical uses. However, non-medical uses may be approved concurrently only if the same phase being developed includes at least 50,000 square feet of medical uses and the overall phase remains compliant with the required proportionality of medical and nonmedical uses (75 percent medical minimum and 25 percent non-medical maximum ratio). The 75:25 ratio needs to be satisfied at all phases of the project. Non-medical uses must be in conjunction with a hospital or other medical uses, reinforcing that these uses remain subordinate in function to the medical campus.
Planning Commission Deliberation and Recommendation
The Planning Commission had a substantive discussion about whether certain uses should remain conditional, including the smaller campus-serving uses such as farmers markets and daycare centers. Commissioners expressed concern that quasi-medical and quasi-residential uses, particularly assisted living facilities, skilled nursing facilities, and residential care facilities, could become the dominant buildout over time despite the medical campus framework. Planning Commission ultimately recommended keeping all uses proposed to be converted from conditional to permitted as conditional, and treating assisted living facilities and skilled nursing facilities as conditional uses as well.
Staff's Analysis and Recommendation:
Staff agrees with the Planning Commission to add Assisted Living and Skilled Nursing Facilities and also keeping Residential Care Facilities as conditional uses. Given that the proposed PD Master Plan Amendment already provides for a framework that mandates 75% of the square footage to be dedicated to core medical uses, staff recommends keeping the other non-medical uses as permitted as long as they stay within the 25% land use ratio. Additionally, these proposed permitted commercial uses, such as farmers markets, restaurants, daycare centers and hotel/motel uses are complementary to the medical campus.
General Plan Consistency
The proposed PD Master Plan Amendment is consistent with the Morgan Hill 2035 General Plan because it supports a planned, employment-generating medical campus that expands local access to healthcare services, strengthens Morgan Hill’s economic base, and makes efficient use of an urbanized site with existing infrastructure and regional access. The amendment advances General Plan policies that promote jobs— housing balance, high-quality office and institutional development, and compatible mixed-use activity nodes, and it supports the City’s economic development objectives by attracting healthcare as one of the four Economic Blueprint pillars. It also remains consistent with applicable transportation and parking policies, with future access, circulation, and parking details to be confirmed through subsequent discretionary approvals and City Engineer review.
Findings for Zoning Map and Planned Development Master Plan Amendment Zoning Map Amendment Findings (MHMC 18.114.060)
6 Finding 1: The proposed amendment is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable specific plan, as provided by Government Code Section 65860.
The project site is designated for commercial and mixed-use development under the Morgan Hill 2035 General Plan and is governed by the Rosewood (formerly Lillian Commons) Medical Mixed-Use Master Plan. The proposed Zoning Map Amendment and Planned Development Master Plan Amendment would allow expanded medical and healthcare-related uses within an area that was specifically planned and reserved for such uses under the original Master Plan. The amendment supports General Plan policies related to mixed-use development, employment-generating uses, access to healthcare services, and economic development. No specific plan applies to the site. Therefore, the proposed amendment is consistent with the General Plan, in compliance with Government Code Section 65860.
Finding 2: The proposed amendment will not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City.
The proposed amendment has been evaluated through preparation of a Final Subsequent Environmental Impact Report in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act. The environmental analysis evaluated potential impacts related to air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, noise, and transportation. With implementation of identified mitigation measures, all impacts would be reduced to a less-than-significant level. The amendment does not introduce incompatible land uses and retains discretionary review through future Design Permit approvals. As a result, the proposed amendment will not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City.
Finding 3: The affected site is physically suitable in terms of design, location, shape, size, and other characteristics to ensure that the permitted land uses and development will comply with the Zoning Code and General Plan and contribute to the health, safety, and welfare of the property, surrounding properties, and the community at large.
The project site is a large, master-planned property that has been previously entitled for medical and mixed-use development. The site is relatively flat, previously disturbed, and served by existing public infrastructure, including roadways, utilities, and access to regional transportation facilities. The size and configuration of the site are sufficient to accommodate expanded medical campus development, including structured parking and appropriate buffering from adjacent residential uses. The proposed amendment builds upon the established Planned Development framework and includes future discretionary review to ensure compatibility with surrounding properties. Therefore, the site is physically suitable for the proposed land uses and development standards.
Planned Development Combining District Findings (MHMC 18.30.050.H.7) Finding A: The proposed development is consistent with the General Plan, Zoning Code, and any applicable specific plan or area plan adopted by the City Council.
The project site is designated for mixed-use development under the Morgan Hill 2035 General Plan and is governed by the Rosewood (formerly Lillian Commons) Medical
6 Mixed-Use Planned Development Master Plan. The proposed PD Master Plan Amendment would allow expanded medical and healthcare-related uses within an area specifically planned and reserved for such uses. The amendment supports General Plan policies related to mixed-use development, employment-generating uses, access to healthcare services, and economic development. No specific plan or area plan applies to the site. Therefore, the proposed development is consistent with the General Plan and Zoning Code.
Finding B: The proposed development is superior to the development that could occur under the standards applicable in the existing zoning districts.
Development under the existing base zoning districts would provide less flexibility to accommodate modern medical campus design, structured parking, and evolving healthcare delivery models. The Planned Development framework allows for coordinated site planning, shared infrastructure, and design flexibility. The proposed PD Master Plan Amendment enables a more efficient, cohesive, and thoughtfully planned medical campus than would be achievable under standard zoning regulations, resulting in superior site design and functionality.
Finding C: The proposed project will provide a substantial public benefit as defined in Paragraph 8 (Substantial Public Benefit Defined). The public benefit provided shall be of sufficient value to justify deviation from the standards of the zoning district that currently applies to the property.
The Planning Commission determined that the proposed amendment provides substantial public benefit by expanding local access to healthcare services, supporting Morgan Hill’s role as a regional medical and service center, and creating employment opportunities in a key economic sector. The amendment enables development of a comprehensive medical campus that can reduce the need for residents to travel outside the City for specialized care and supports efficient land use, economic diversification, and long-term community health objectives, which collectively justify the requested deviations from standard zoning development standards.
Finding D: The site for the proposed development is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the proposed land uses.
The medical campus portion of the Rosewood Master Plan consists of approximately
9.6 acres within a larger master-planned development. The site is relatively flat, previously disturbed, and of sufficient size and configuration to accommodate expanded medical office development, structured parking, internal circulation, landscaping, and buffering from adjacent residential uses. The site’s size and shape are adequate to support the proposed land uses and development standards.
Finding E: Adequate transportation facilities, infrastructure, and public services exist or will be provided to serve the proposed development.
The project site is served by existing roadway infrastructure, utilities, and public services. A Transportation Analysis prepared for the project evaluated CEQA transportation impacts using Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) and also evaluated traffic
6 operations using the City’s General Plan Level of Service (LOS) methodology as supplemental information for General Plan consistency and future permitting. The analysis assumed up to 275,000 square feet under a worst-case scenario, with a probable 225,000 square foot scenario also evaluated, and accounted for existing and previously approved conditions. The Transportation Analysis identifies intersections where project traffic could contribute to adverse operations under certain scenarios and identifies potential operational improvements. Any LOS-related operational improvements are not included as mitigation in the MMRP. Instead, they would be evaluated and, if warranted, incorporated through future discretionary approvals and conditions of approval, as determined necessary by the City Engineer.
With implementation of applicable transportation requirements through future permits, and with utilities and public services provided consistent with City standards, adequate transportation facilities, infrastructure, and public services will exist or will be provided to serve the proposed development.
Finding F: The proposed development will not have a substantial adverse effect on surrounding property and will be compatible with the existing and planned land use character of the surrounding area.
Medical and healthcare-related uses are compatible with the surrounding residential, commercial, and public facility uses. The PD Master Plan Amendment does not approve final building design or site layout; compatibility will be ensured through future Design Permit review addressing building height, massing, setbacks, landscaping, and buffering. Environmental impacts have been evaluated through the Final Subsequent Environmental Impact Report and mitigated to a less-thansignificant level. Accordingly, the proposed development will not have a substantial adverse effect on surrounding properties.
Finding G: Findings required for the concurrent approval of a Zoning Map Amendment can be made.
As demonstrated in the Zoning Map Amendment findings, the proposed amendment is consistent with the General Plan, will not be detrimental to public health, safety, or welfare, is internally consistent with the Zoning Code, and the site is physically suitable for the proposed uses and development standards. Therefore, all required findings for concurrent approval of the Zoning Map Amendment can be made.
Conclusion
The proposed Zoning Map Amendment and Planned Development (PD) Master Plan Amendment is consistent with the Morgan Hill 2035 General Plan and applicable City policies, supporting the City’s economic development and healthcare access goals, and it has been reviewed in compliance with CEQA. The proposed development standards and the City’s medical campus framework establishes clear limits and phasing requirements that preserve the long-term intent of the site as a primarily medical-serving campus while maintaining flexibility for evolving market conditions and healthcare delivery needs.
Staff recommends that the City Council certify the Final Subsequent Environmental Impact Report (SEIR), adopt the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP),
6 and approve the Zoning Map Amendment and PD Master Plan Amendment for the Rosewood Medical Campus.
Conceptual Site Plan
The site plan evaluated in the Final SEIR is conceptual and is intended solely for CEQA review. Final site layout, architecture, and design details are not approved by this action and would be reviewed through future discretionary approvals, including a Design Permit and, if applicable, a Conditional Use Permit. These discretionary permits involve City review based on adopted standards and findings of approval, include public noticing, an opportunity for public input, and may include conditions of approval and required mitigation measures from the adopted MMRP. This is unlike ministerial permits such as building permits that are issued when objective requirements are met.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT:
Inform/Consult:
Community engagement for this item has focused on informing the public and providing formal opportunities to comment consistent with CEQA and City noticing requirements.
Engagement actions to date:
• A project webpage has been established and is updated routinely with project materials, notices, and environmental documents.
• A project identification sign was posted on the site in accordance with Planning Division requirements.
• Public hearing noticing for the Planning Commission was completed through mailed notices to property owners and occupants in the surrounding area. For thoroughness, noticing was expanded beyond the minimum 600-foot radius to include full neighborhood blocks in the vicinity of the site to improve notice coverage and reduce the likelihood of inconsistent notice within the same block. • CEQA public outreach was conducted for the Draft SEIR, including formal circulation of the document for public review and comment. • A community open house was held during the Draft SEIR public review period to receive verbal comments for the public record.
• Written comments were received from public agencies and members of the public during the Draft SEIR review period, and responses are included in the Final SEIR.
Following Council action, future development would require submittal of a more detailed site plan and project program through subsequent discretionary permits, including a Design Permit and, if applicable, Conditional Use Permit(s). These future entitlements
6 would include public noticing and are anticipated to return to the Planning Commission for approval due to the scale and significance of the proposed medical campus development.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:
Alternative actions City Council may consider:
1. Amend or Remove the Medical Campus Framework
Council may approve the amendments while modifying, reducing, or removing the proposed medical campus framework standards, including the medical versus nonmedical square footage limits, phasing, or permit sequencing requirements.
2. Amend the Permitted and Conditional Use Structure
Council may approve the amendments while modifying the PD land use table, including whether specific land uses are permitted or would require a Conditional Use Permit.
3. Deny the Amendment Request
Council may deny the Zoning Map Amendment and PD Master Plan Amendment.
Under this alternative, the existing Rosewood Medical Mixed-Use PD Master Plan would remain in effect and the project could proceed only under the currently approved standards and entitlements.
Fiscal and Resource Summary
All alternatives would be processed on a cost-recovery basis through applicant-paid fees. No direct City expenditures are requested or anticipated, and staff time is part of routine current planning and CEQA administration.
PRIOR CITY COUNCIL AND COMMISSION ACTIONS:
The Rosewood site was originally entitled as the Lillian Commons Medical Mixed-Use Master Plan, establishing a comprehensive Planned Development framework for a mixed-use project consisting of a medical campus, supporting commercial uses, and a residential neighborhood. In November 2020, the City Council approved the project entitlements and environmental clearance, including adoption of the Planned Development (PD) Master Plan and Zoning Map Amendment for the site, approval of the Tentative Parcel Map, and adoption of a Mitigated Negative Declaration for the original Master Plan approvals.
Following adoption of the Master Plan, the residential component proceeded through subsequent discretionary approvals and subdivision refinements, resulting in the currently approved and under-construction Rosewood Residential project. The medical campus portion of the site currently includes existing medical office and surgical facility uses with associated surface parking, while the remainder of the medical campus area remains reserved for future medical-serving development consistent with the PD Master
6 Plan.
In 2022, the applicant submitted requests to amend the PD Master Plan to expand the medical campus development capacity and update development standards and permitted uses to accommodate evolving healthcare delivery models, market conditions, and regional demand for medical services. The proposed amendments include increased allowable medical/commercial square footage, increased building height and coverage, removal of FAR standards from the PD, changes to parking standards, and modifications to the PD land use table.
In 2025, the City Council adopted Resolution 25-003 (February 19, 2025) amending the General Plan to eliminate FAR requirements for the MU-F land use designation citywide. As a result, the applicant’s previously requested General Plan Text Amendment related to FAR exemptions is no longer applicable; however, the FAR removal remains part of the PD Master Plan Amendment request as a clean-up item.
FISCAL AND RESOURCE IMPACT:
This item is included in the Development Services Department work program and is processed on a cost-recovery basis. The applicant funds City staff time and any consultant support through planning and environmental review application fees. No direct City expenditures are requested or anticipated. This work is part of routine current planning and CEQA administration, does not require additional staffing, and is not expected to materially affect other departmental priorities or day-to-day service levels.
CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act):
CEQA Determination and Background
The Rosewood (formerly Lillian Commons) Medical Mixed-Use Master Plan was previously evaluated under CEQA through adoption of an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) in 2020. That prior environmental review analyzed a mixed-use project consisting of residential development, a medical campus, and supporting commercial uses, and identified mitigation measures to reduce potential impacts to a less-than-significant level. The current request before the City Council is a Zoning Map Amendment and Planned Development (PD) Master Plan Amendment affecting the medical campus portion of the previously approved Master Plan. The amendments include an increase in allowable medical/commercial square footage, increased maximum building height and building coverage, removal of FAR standards, modifications to parking standards, and changes to permitted and conditionally permitted uses. The City determined that these modifications constituted changes to the previously approved project that warranted further environmental review. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, the City determined that a Subsequent Environmental Impact Report (SEIR) was required because the proposed amendments could result in new or more severe environmental impacts than those previously analyzed.
Subsequent EIR Process and Public Review
6 A Draft Subsequent Environmental Impact Report (Draft SEIR) was prepared to evaluate the potential environmental impacts associated with the proposed amendments. The Draft SEIR is a focused analysis that builds upon the previously adopted CEQA document and examines those environmental topics where new or more severe impacts could occur due to the proposed changes. The Draft SEIR was circulated for public review and comment from September 5, 2025 through November 3, 2025. Notice of availability was provided in accordance with CEQA, and the Draft SEIR was made available online and at designated public locations. The City also held a community open house during the public review period to receive verbal comments.
Written comments were received from public agencies and members of the public.
Scope of Environmental Analysis
Consistent with CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 and 15163, the SEIR focuses on the environmental topics where changes to the project could result in new significant impacts or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified impacts. The SEIR evaluated Air Quality, Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Energy, Noise, and Transportation. All other environmental topic areas were analyzed in the 2020 Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) and determined to remain adequately addressed for purposes of this action.
Summary of Environmental Impacts and Mitigation
Air Quality, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, and Energy
The SEIR evaluated construction and operational emissions associated with the increased development capacity. With implementation of mitigation measures, including compliance with applicable CalGreen requirements and provision of electric-vehiclecapable parking consistent with adopted standards, impacts would be reduced to a lessthan-significant level.
Noise
Construction noise associated with expanded development was identified as a potentially significant impact. The SEIR includes mitigation requiring preparation and implementation of a construction noise control plan and noise reduction measures for construction equipment and activities. With mitigation, construction noise impacts would be reduced to a less-than-significant level. Operational noise impacts were determined to be less than significant with compliance measures and final design review of mechanical equipment.
Transportation
Transportation impacts were evaluated using Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) metrics consistent with State law and CEQA Guidelines. The SEIR concluded the project would not result in a significant VMT impact. With implementation of applicable measures, transportation impacts would be less than significant.
Final SEIR and Responses to Comments
The Final SEIR includes responses to all comments received during the public review period, along with revisions and clarifications where appropriate. The Final SEIR did not identify any new significant environmental impacts and did not require new mitigation
6 measures beyond those identified in the Draft SEIR. The Final SEIR was prepared for the City as the lead agency and has been reviewed and evaluated by the City in compliance with CEQA and the CEQA Guidelines.
CEQA Findings, MMRP, and Conclusion
The Final SEIR concludes that, with implementation of identified mitigation measures, all potentially significant impacts associated with the proposed amendments would be reduced to a less-than-significant level. No significant and unavoidable impacts were identified. Accordingly, a Statement of Overriding Considerations is not required. A Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) has been prepared to ensure that all mitigation measures are implemented during project development. Staff recommends that the City Council certify the Final SEIR, adopt the CEQA Findings of Fact, adopt the MMRP, and take action on the requested Zoning Map Amendment and PD Master Plan Amendment.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF MORGAN HILL
APPROVING A ZONING MAP AMENDMENT AND
PLANNED DEVELOPMENT (PD) MASTER PLAN
AMENDMENT FOR THE ROSEWOOD (FORMERLY
LILLIAN COMMONS) MEDICAL MIXED-USE PROJECT
(FILE NOS. AAE2022-0008 / EA2022-0011) LOCATED ON
THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF THE INTERSECTION OF
JUAN HERNANDEZ DRIVE AND BARRETT AVENUE
(APNS 817-09-040 AND 817-09-057)
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MORGAN HILL DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
ZONING MAP AMENDMENT FINDINGS (MHMC 18.114.060)
SECTION 1. Finding 1: The proposed amendment is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable specific plan as provided by Government Code Section 65860.
The project site is designated for commercial and mixed-use development under the Morgan Hill 2035 General Plan and is governed by the Rosewood (formerly Lillian Commons) Medical Mixed-Use Master Plan. The proposed Zoning Map Amendment and Planned Development Master Plan Amendment would allow expanded medical and healthcare-related uses within an area that was specifically planned and reserved for such uses under the original Master Plan.
The amendment supports General Plan policies related to mixed-use development, employment-generating uses, access to healthcare services, and economic development. No specific plan applies to the site. Therefore, the proposed amendment is consistent with the General Plan, in compliance with Government Code Section 65860.
SECTION 2. Finding 2: The proposed amendment will not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City.
The proposed amendment has been evaluated through preparation of a Final Subsequent Environmental Impact Report in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act. The environmental analysis evaluated potential impacts related to air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, noise, and transportation. With implementation of identified mitigation measures, all impacts would be reduced to a less-than-significant level. The amendment does not introduce incompatible land uses and retains discretionary review through future Design Permit approvals. As a result, the proposed amendment will not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City.
City of Morgan Hill
Ordinance No. XX, New Series
SECTION 3. Finding 3: The affected site is physically suitable in terms of design, location, shape, size, and other characteristics to ensure that the permitted land uses and development will comply with the zoning code and general plan and contribute to the health, safety, and welfare of the property, surrounding properties, and the community at large.
The project site is a large, master-planned property that has been previously entitled for medical and mixed-use development. The site is relatively flat, previously disturbed, and served by existing public infrastructure, including roadways, utilities, and access to regional transportation facilities. The size and configuration of the site are sufficient to accommodate expanded medical campus development, including structured parking and appropriate buffering from adjacent residential uses. The proposed amendment builds upon the established Planned Development framework and includes future discretionary review to ensure compatibility with surrounding properties. Therefore, the site is physically suitable for the proposed land uses and development standards.
PLANNED DEVELOPMENT COMBINING DISTRICT FINDINGS (MHMC 18.30.050.H.7) SECTION 4. Finding A: The proposed development is consistent with the general plan, zoning code and any applicable specific plan or area plan adopted by the city council.
The project site is designated for mixed-use development under the Morgan Hill 2035 General Plan and is governed by the Rosewood (formerly Lillian Commons) Medical Mixed-Use Planned Development Master Plan. The proposed PD Master Plan Amendment would allow expanded medical and healthcare-related uses within an area specifically planned and reserved for such uses. The amendment supports General Plan policies related to mixed-use development, employment-generating uses, access to healthcare services, and economic development. No specific plan or area plan applies to the site.
Therefore, the proposed development is consistent with the General Plan and Zoning Code.
SECTION 5. Finding B: The proposed development is superior to the development that could occur under the standards applicable in the existing zoning districts.
Development under the existing base zoning districts would provide less flexibility to accommodate modern medical campus design, structured parking, and evolving healthcare delivery models. The Planned Development framework allows for coordinated site planning, shared infrastructure, and design flexibility. The proposed PD Master Plan Amendment enables a more efficient, cohesive, and thoughtfully planned medical campus than would be achievable under standard zoning regulations, resulting in superior site design and functionality.
City of Morgan Hill
Ordinance No. XX, New Series
SECTION 6. Finding C: The proposed project will provide a substantial public benefit. The public benefit provided shall be of sufficient value as determined by the Planning Commission to justify deviation from the standards of the zoning district that currently applies to the property.
The Planning Commission determined that the proposed amendment provides substantial public benefit by expanding local access to healthcare services, supporting Morgan Hill’s role as a regional medical and service center, and creating employment opportunities in a key economic sector. The amendment enables development of a comprehensive medical campus that can reduce the need for residents to travel outside the City for specialized care and supports efficient land use, economic diversification, and long-term community health objectives, which collectively justify the requested deviations from standard zoning development standards.
SECTION 7. Finding D: The site for the proposed development is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the proposed land uses.
The medical campus portion of the Rosewood Master Plan consists of approximately 9.6 acres within a larger master-planned development. The site is relatively flat, previously disturbed, and of sufficient size and configuration to accommodate expanded medical office development, structured parking, internal circulation, landscaping, and buffering from adjacent residential uses.
The site’s size and shape are adequate to support the proposed land uses and development standards.
SECTION 8. Finding E: Adequate transportation facilities, infrastructure, and public services exist or will be provided to serve the proposed development.
The project site is served by existing roadway infrastructure, utilities, and public services. A Transportation Analysis prepared for the project evaluated CEQA transportation impacts using Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT). It also included a traffic operations analysis using the City’s General Plan Level of Service (LOS) methodology as supplemental information for General Plan consistency and future permitting. The analysis assumed up to 275,000 square feet under a worst-case scenario, with a probable 225,000 square foot scenario also evaluated, and it accounted for existing and previously approved conditions.
The Transportation Analysis identifies intersections where project traffic could contribute to adverse operations under certain scenarios and identifies potential operational improvements. Any LOS-related operational improvements are not included as mitigation in the MMRP. Instead, they would be evaluated and, if warranted, incorporated through future discretionary approvals and conditions of approval, as determined necessary by the City Engineer. With implementation of applicable transportation requirements through future permits, and with utilities and public services provided consistent with City standards, adequate transportation facilities, infrastructure, and public services
City of Morgan Hill
Ordinance No. XX, New Series
will exist or will be provided to serve the proposed development.
SECTION 9. Finding F: The proposed development will not have a substantial adverse effect on surrounding property and will be compatible with the existing and planned land use character of the surrounding area.
Medical and healthcare-related uses are compatible with the surrounding residential, commercial, and public facility uses. The PD Master Plan Amendment does not approve final building design or site layout; compatibility will be ensured through future Design Permit review addressing building height, massing, setbacks, landscaping, and buffering. Environmental impacts have been evaluated through the Final Subsequent Environmental Impact Report and mitigated to a less-than-significant level. Accordingly, the proposed development will not have a substantial adverse effect on surrounding properties.
SECTION 10: Finding G: Findings required for the concurrent approval of a Zoning Map Amendment can be made.
As demonstrated in the Zoning Map Amendment findings, the proposed amendment is consistent with the General Plan, will not be detrimental to public health, safety, or welfare, is internally consistent with the Zoning Code, and the site is physically suitable for the proposed uses and development standards.
Therefore, all required findings for concurrent approval of the Zoning Map Amendment can be made.
SECTION 11. The request was considered by the Planning Commission at its regular meeting of February 10, 2026, at which time the Planning Commission recommended approval of the Zoning Map Amendment and Planned Development Master Plan Amendment application AAE2022-0008 for the Rosewood (formerly Lillian Commons) Medical Campus Master Plan as described in the attached Exhibit “A” dated October 30, 2019, revised on March 13, 2020, October 6, 2020 and February 10, 2026, and by this reference incorporated herein. The City Council accepts the recommendation of the Planning Commission that the land uses proposed for conversion from conditional to permitted remain conditional and that Assisted Living Facilities and Skilled Nursing Facilities be allowed only with a Conditional Use Permit. The City Council also further accepts the recommendation of City Staff that daycare facilities, farmers markets, restaurants, and hotel/motel uses shall be permitted within the Medical Campus when ancillary to, and subordinate to, medical uses as determined during future discretionary review.
THE FOREGOING ORDINANCE WAS INTRODUCED AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL HELD ON THE 4th DAY OF MARCH 2026, AND WAS FINALLY ADOPTED AT A MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL HELD ON THE 18th DAY OF MARCH 2026, AND SAID ORDINANCE WAS DULY PASSED AND ADOPTED IN

EMC Planning Group
1.0 INTRODUCTION
This Planned Development (PD) Master Plan has been prepared pursuant to the requirements of the City of Morgan Hill Municipal Code, and submittal requirements of the Community Development Department. This PD Master Plan also incorporates the requirements for a General Plan Amendment; the property has been concurrently re-designated from Commercial to Mixed Use Flex.
The PD Master Plan covers an area of approximately 19.7 acres east of Juan Hernandez Drive and north of Tennant Avenue. Refer to PD Master Plan section 4.5 for maps illustrating the plan boundary.
The PD Master Plan presents the following required information:
▪ Planning objectives;
▪ Community benefits;
▪ Land uses and approvals;
▪ Development standard deviations requested;
▪ Circulation plan;
▪ Locations of public facilities and open space;
▪ Diagrams showing various aspects of
planned development;
▪ Development phasing; and
▪ Ongoing obligations
The PD Master Plan provides an overlay to the base Commercial Services (CS) zoning district. The purpose of the CS zoning district is to provide an area for commercial services that may be inappropriate in neighborhood or pedestrian-oriented shopping areas, and which generally require automotive access for customer convenience, servicing of vehicles or equipment, loading or unloading, or parking of commercial service vehicles.
The purpose of the Planned Development (PD) combining district is to allow for high quality development that deviates from standards and regulations applicable to base zoning districts in the City of Morgan Hill. Permitted land uses may deviate from the land use regulations of the applicable base zoning district, in this case Service Commercial, provided the PD combining district allows only those land uses permitted in the applicable general plan land use designation.
2.0 PLANNING
OBJECTIVES
The PD Master Plan is designed to achieve the following planning objectives:
▪ Build off existing medical offices to provide a complete medical services center within the City. ▪ Provide Include flex zoning that would allow a small commercial component with retail/restaurant uses to serve the employees and visitors to the medical office/hospital uses as well as the surrounding community.
▪ Provide housing for the medical office/ hospital uses that would be affordable to the employees of these uses.
▪ Provide high-density housing in proximity to a school, commercial services, and employment opportunities.
3.0 COMMUNITY BENEFITS AND
GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT
JUSTIFICATION
3.1 Planned Development Community Benefits
The PD Master Plan will provide the following community benefits to the City of Morgan Hill:
▪ Provide the City with a well-rounded medical center featuring medical offices, urgent care/ pharmacy, and hospital beds.
▪ Provide the City with additional high-density housing to help the City achieve its Regional Housing Needs Allocation for lower income housing, and construct affordable housing units. ▪ Provide the neighborhood and City with open space, courtyards, and plazas that
provide opportunities for people to informally meet and gather. ▪ Provide the neighborhood and City with pedestrian and bicycle pathways that enhance circulation within the property and connect to the surrounding neighborhood. ▪ Locate housing in proximity to parks, a school, retail, and employment opportunities to reduce vehicle miles traveled and greenhouse gas emissions. ▪ Provide the City with green buildings and sustainable development features. These will include photovoltaic renewable energy and meeting or exceeding Title 24 standards by three to five percent.
▪ Provide accessible parks and open space beyond the minimum required by the City. Park land will be dedicated to the City and the project will provide a walking/ jogging trail around the perimeter of the property to facilitate healthy living.
3.2 General Plan AmendmentJustification
The PD Master Plan incorporates an amendment to the 2035 General Plan designation for the property to Mixed Use Flex (MU-F). The general plan amendment is necessary to permit the residential and hospital uses. Under the PD zoning, only those uses allowed in the property’s general plan land use designation may be permitted by the PD zoning, and the general plan amendment to Mixed Use Flex accomplishes that purpose.
The 2035 General Plan defines the Mixed Use Flex district as follows:
The Mixed Use Flex designation, which is primarily applied to properties along the Monterey Road corridor north and south of downtown, allows for a mix of residential, commercial, and office uses applied either vertically (i.e., one structure with multiple uses) or horizontally (i.e., structures with different land uses located adjacent to one another).
Density should transition from higher to lower at the ends of Monterey corridor. The Mixed Use Flex designation allows 7 to 24 units per acre and a maximum FAR of 0.5.
Prior to development of Residential or Mixed-Use projects within the Mixed Use Flex designation a block level master plan is required to identify how commercial uses will be incorporated within the development of the block and how individual development projects will connect with each other. Commercial development may proceed without preparation of a block level master plan consistent with the Commercial designation. This amendment would change the FAR threshold restriction on the medical parcels (A, B, and D) to 0.6.66.
This definition suits the development planned in the PD Master Plan, as the PD Master Plan conceptual Site Plan incorporates housing near the medical office/hospital uses that is intended to be affordable to the employees of these uses. In addition, the conceptual Site Plan incorporates a small commercial component within a 10,000 square foot building, with retail/restaurant uses to serve the
employees and visitors to the hospital as well as the surrounding residential community. The conceptual Site Plan shows how the medical office/hospital, commercial, and high-density residential uses will be arranged and connect with one another.
Best Interest of the Community
Why is the proposed amendment in the best interest of the community? The residential uses are located within the property to provide a transition in intensity between the existing medical uses, Barrett Avenue Elementary School, and the single family residential uses abutting Juan Hernandez Drive to the west. The commercial, medical office/ hospital uses will be located adjacent to the existing medical offices, providing a campus feel on the property. The structured parking will provide adequate parking to accommodate the medical uses and provide overflow parking for the compatible high-density residential uses on the project site.
The mix of uses will provide convenient retail uses and services adjacent to both the high density residential uses and the medical office/hospital. The medical office/hospital will be located close to a freeway access, and just off two thoroughfares (Tennant Avenue and Butterfield Boulevard) providing convenient access to Morgan Hill residents and those from elsewhere in the region.
Public Need
Is there currently a public need for this amendment?
The Commercial uses outlined in the 2035 General Plan, though appropriate for this property, do not include the “third leg” which provides a sustainable living solution for commercial and institutional employees. Housing, and especially affordable housing, are a critical public need throughout the State, and especially in the Bay Area. Apartments1 are an affordable housing option for service workers and would provide employees the opportunity to eliminate their commute to work. The one and two bedroom apartments2, with 15 percent affordable, would allow younger adults, families, and seniors to live and work in a sustainable manner. Additionally the proposed amendment to the 2035 General Plan for this property would go a long way toward meeting several General Plan policies, as listed below, and addressed in Section 7.0, 2035 General Plan Consistency.
Housing- Policy HE-4u: Mix of Housing Near Services. Encourage a mix of housing types in each neighborhood located convenient to shopping, services, recreation, and transit routes.
Healthy Community- Policy HC-3.8 Private Open Space. Encourage new development to permit public access to private open space and parks where feasible and appropriate.
City & Neighborhood Form- Policy CNF-13.1 Mixed Use Flex Development. Encourage a mix of uses, either vertically or horizontally, to allow residents and employees to meet daily needs without the use of the private automobile.
The proposed hospital would also provide for the public needs, adding a much-needed medical services to the City of Morgan Hill. The hospital will also provide a variety of jobs for the city and surrounding
population.

Amenities on Parcel C include a pickleball court, swimming pool, hot tub, lounging patio, and a tot lot/play area, open play fieldslawns, shade structures, picnic tables, seating areas, and jogging/walking trail connections to adjacent sidewalk systems. RecreationalIf proposed, recreational parkland amenities in Parcel A could include passive recreational opportunities with a landscaped area and park benches. located between the medical/hospital facility and the commercial uses on Parcel B. Trail connections are provided throughout the property including new pedestrian access to the existing medical campus (Parcel D).
Site Access/Circulation
Access to the project site will be provided by four two new driveways: . the existing driveway to the medical office would may be retained and extended to provide secondary access to the medical/hospital facility and cancer center. An additional driveways, adjacent to existing driveway and approximately 460 feet north of the existing driveway, Rosewood Lane will provide the primary access to Parcels A-C through the middle of the property. St. James Drive will be extended into the site, forming a four-legged intersection at Juan Hernandez Drive. The existing driveway to the medical offices on Parcel D will be closed; access to the existing facilities will be provided from the St. James extension. Two additional driveways will provide secondaryaccess to themultifamily residentialdevelopmentfrom Barrett Avenue. The accesswaysforall project components are interconnected within the property. All new accessways will be designed to meet City of Morgan Hill design and performance standards for streets, driveways, curb, gutter and sidewalks. The conceptual Site Plan provides a layout of the circulation system for the project.
Juan Hernandez Drive is a two lane street with striping at Barrett Avenue to allow for turn lanes. The street is wide enough to provide on street parking but individual spaces are not
marked. Barrett Avenue is a two lane street primarily providing access to Barrett Elementary School. Two left turn lanes from Juan Hernandez Drive into the property are proposed.
Sidewalks will be extended into the property from the existing sidewalks along Juan Hernandez Drive and Barrett Avenue. Connection will be made to the existing sidewalks on Juan Hernandez Drive and Barrett Avenue. Within the project boundary, sidewalks will be provided on all internal driveways to meet Americans with Disabilities (ADA) standards. Bicycle traffic shares the paved area or uses the sidewalk. Pathways and sidewalks designated for bicycle use will meet Caltrans design standards for bikeways. The passive park with a jogging/walking trail for pedestrians, will serve as a passage way from Barrett Avenue to the south side of the property.
Additionally, all the uses proposed in the development project will have pedestrian connections to the park.
Parking
Parking will be located on each parcel and a shared parking agreement will be implemented per Municipal Code Section 18.72.050, on-site parking alternative-Section F, to meet the parking needs of the development. Parking below standards for some uses will be met by implementing a shared parking agreement between the newly created parcels within the property. Additionally, the mix of land uses will result in walking trips that will reduce parking demands for some uses.
Proposed Medical site parking ratios are described below.
Signage and Lighting
A detailed signage and lighting plans will be submitted during the Design Review phase of the project review. Signage and lighting will comply with the City of Morgan Hill Municipal Code, Sections 18.88 and 18.72.060G. We anticipate signage will be located at the intersection of Juan Hernandez Drive and the main access drive into the property, currently labeled as Street ARosewood Lane on the conceptual Site Plan.
Additional internal signage locations have not been determined at this time.
Storm Water Infrastructure
All drainage systems will be designed to comply with City and Regional Water Quality Control Board requirements for storm water management. Bio swales will be dispersed throughout the
development, including a 25-foot wide landscape buffer along the east property line and a storm water basin, will be located in the southeast corner of the property. All drainage improvements will be designed and landscaped to meet City and State design criteria and performance standards. Where necessary, fencing around the ponds will consist of black chain link or decorative fencing and landscaping to shield views from US Highway 101 and onsite patrons.
Other Utilities
Sewer, water, and wastewater infrastructure will be designed and constructed in conformance with City standards. Ownership and maintenance will generally correspond to location within public or private property. Where utilities cross private property, easements will be established as necessary to provide access. Other utility infrastructure (gas, electric, communications, etc.) will be designed and constructed in conformance with State or utility standards. Ownership of these utilities will remain with the utility, with easements established as necessary to provide access.

Phasing
The proposed project would likely be constructed in phases starting with development of Parcel C, followed by development of Parcels B and D, and closing with the development of Parcel A. The hospital use will require approvals by the Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development (OSHPD) and the Division of the State Architect, some approvals could take as long as seven years, which is why it is expected to be the final element of the project to be developed. Full occupancy of all uses is assumed to occur in the year 2025-2027. Market factors could result in a changed phasing sequence.
Conceptual Development Plans
Figure 10, Conceptual Site Plan, illustrates the overall development concept, including the proposed land uses, buildings, circulation patterns, parking, and open space and common areas.
This plan documents the percentage of site area that will be dedicated for all types of open space. It also illustrates the probable conceptual medical site plan layout. Figure 10B, Site Plan Alternative, illustrates a medical site layout that includes the anticipated maximum building square footage on Parcels A, B, and D.
Figure 11, Pedestrian Circulation/Open Space Plan, illustrates the connectivity of the project, how it relates to the surrounding pedestrian network, and open space proposed on the project site.
Figure 12, Illustrative Site Plan, is a conceptual color rendering of how all the elements come together on the property.
Figure 13, Conceptual Site and Utility Plan, provides locations of sewer, water and fire connection on the site plan and also shows the proposed storm water management areas.
Figure 14, Conceptual Grading Plan, provides conceptual contour grading, drainage and flood control facilities, easement, property lines, rights-of-ways, and existing features beyond the site boundaries. Structures, building footprint and floor elevations are also depicted on the conceptual Grading Plan.
Full Size Plans, Illustrative Building Elevations will be provided at the Design Review stage, provided under separate cover, illustrate the building elevations and provide perspective renderings for each building. The building architecture and design are inspired expected to be inspired by a distinctly modern and geometric aesthetic, using classical materials for a timeless appearance. The elevations are may be crafted of warm wood, grey stone and contrasting light stucco. The tTransparent glazing panes will providemay also be used to provide ample daylight and animate the buildings, flooding the interior spaces with natural light and the orthogonal volumes and surfaces complement each other. The parking deck form is will be reduced in mass by using landscape screens facing US Highway 101.
Full Size Plans, The Conceptual Landscape Plans, will be provided under separate cover, will be provided at the Design Review stage and will identify landscaped areas throughout the PD Master Plan and explain the main landscape concepts to be achieved for the project. The conceptual Landscape Plans will identify the major types of plant material to be used including street trees, parking lot trees, shrubbery to be used to screen the parking lots, and buffer plantings.
Conceptual Site Development Data
The PD Master Plan’s conceptual Site Plan (see Figure 10) and the site plan alternative (Figure 10B) are is used to provide the numbers that were used to prepare the project description and CEQA documentation. The Conceptual Site Plan shown in Figure 10 represents probable medical campus buildout areas; Figure 10B represents maximum medical campus buildout.
Additional dwelling units or floor area may be achieved on the property. The PD Master Plan allows a range of 350,000 – 417,696572,033 – 606,033 square feet of commercial, office, and/or institutional floor space and a maximum of 150 multi-family or single family dwelling units. It is expected the conceptual Site Plan will be modified prior to Design Review. Modification will be kept to a limit acceptable to not trigger additional CEQA impacts or mitigation measures. If the conceptual Site Plan changes exceed this limit, additional CEQA documentation may be necessary.

4.3 Implementing Approvals
After the actions noted above are complete (General Plan Amendment, Zoning Map Amendment, and Parcel Map), the following implementing actions will remain to be taken by the City prior to construction. These approvals will most likely be separate actions for each parcel within the PD Master Plan.
Final Maps. After the tentative parcel map is approved, final maps will be filed. It is anticipated that a separate final map may be filed for each parcel, along with a corresponding improvement plan.
Design Review Permits. Prior to construction, each structure will be required to obtain a design review permit. Each design review permit will be approved by resolution by the Planning Commission.
Conditional Use Permits. Some uses that are allowed within the PD Master Plan will require a conditional use permit. Each conditional use permit will be approved by resolution by the Planning Commission.
4.4 Conditions Prior to Residential Construction
Prior to the issuance of building permits for residential construction on Parcel C, the Development Services Director shall confirm that Developer Lillian Commons L.L.C. has satisfied all?
of the following criteria:
(1) Obtained building permits for and commenced construction of:
a. expansion of the parking lot on Parcel D from 45 spots to at least 60 spots, in order to support medical campus needs; and
b.a. Street A or B (as designated on the Conceptual Site Plan), with utility infrastructure suitable for a medical campus or hospital. -or-
(2) Developer and healthcare provider have filed application with OSHPD, paid application fee and submitted construction documents and specifications to a warm shell standard.
4.5 Ownership and Ongoing Obligations
The PD Master Plan, General Plan Amendment, and subdivision proponent seeks to obtain City approval of the General Plan Amendment, PD Master Plan and subdivision entitlements. The applicant/ proponent intends to develop Parcel D with the Medical Center (e.g. urgent care/pharmacy, cancer center, medical offices, etc.). The medical /hospital parcel, retail/restaurant parcel, and residential parcel will most likely be sold to end users or to specialized developers.
Park land will be set aside within an easement upon filing of the final parcel map(s).
Infrastructure will be constructed by future developers. Dedication and long-term maintenance financing of circulation, water, wastewater, and storm water infrastructure will be determined when development applications are processed.
A memorandum of agreement (MOA) or development agreement (DA) will be drafted by the applicant and distributed to the developers of each lot to allow for an orderly manner in which to provide capital improvements and maintenance of the infrastructure and common areas located throughout the property. It is expected that a shared parking agreement will be prepared as part of the MOA/DA to allow shared parking among the end users of the PD Master Plan development.
