REPORT NARRATIVE:
On March 4, 2026, the City Council introduced Ordinance No. 2375 New Series, by the following roll call vote: AYES: Vega, Iwanaga, Librers, Martinez Beltran, Turner; NOES:
None; ABSTAIN: None; ABSENT: None.
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 a limitation on nonmedical square footage as well as pacing standards mandating any non-medical development must be paired with medical uses.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT:
Inform/Consult:
Community engagement for this item has focused on informing the public and providing
1 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 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:
Not Applicable.
PRIOR CITY COUNCIL AND COMMISSION ACTIONS:
In November 2020, the City Council approved the original Lillian Commons Medical Mixed-Use Master Plan, including the PD Master Plan, Zoning Map Amendment, Tentative Parcel Map, and a Mitigated Negative Declaration under CEQA. The residential portion of the project is now under construction, and the applicant has requested amendments to the PD Master Plan to expand medical campus development capacity and update development standards. The City Council considered these amendments and introduced the ordinance on March 4, 2026.
1 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):
The Rosewood Medical Mixed-Use Master Plan was previously evaluated under CEQA through a 2020 Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration. Because the proposed amendments to the medical campus portion of the project could result in new or more severe impacts, the City prepared a Subsequent Environmental Impact Report evaluating air quality, greenhouse gas emissions and energy, noise, and transportation; the Final SEIR concludes that all impacts would be reduced to less-than-significant levels with mitigation.

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. 2375, 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. 2375, 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. 2375, 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.

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;
▪ Diagramsshowing 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 isto provide an area for commercial servicesthat 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 developmentthat deviatesfromstandards and regulations applicable to base zoning districtsin theCity 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. ▪ Include flex zoning that would allow a small commercial component with retail/restaurant usesto serve the employees and visitors to the medical office/hospital uses as well as the surrounding community.
▪ Provide housing for the medical office/ hospital usesthat would be affordable to the employees of these uses.
▪ Provide high-density housing in proximity to a school, commercialservices, 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 milestraveled 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 Amendment Justification
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 useslocated 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 on the medical parcels (A, B, and D) to 0.6.
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. The conceptual Site Plan shows how the medical office/hospital, 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 campusfeel on the property. The structured parking will provide adequate parking to accommodate the medical uses.
The medical office/hospital will be located close to a freeway access, and just off two thoroughfares (Tennant Avenue andButterfield 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. Apartments1are 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, aslisted 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 accessto 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.

4.0 PROPERTY AND DEVELOPMENT
DESCRIPTIONS
4.1 Property Description
Location
The property within the PD Master Plan is located in the City of Morgan Hill, California, on Juan Hernandez Drive between Tennant Avenue and Barrett Avenue, adjacent to South Valley Freeway (US Highway 101-Salinas Valley Freeway).

4.2 PD Master Plan Description
General Plan Amendment
Incorporated into the PD Master Plan is an amendment to the 2035 General Plan land use diagram to change the designation for the property from Commercial to Mixed Use Flex (MU-F). Figure 7, General Plan Amendment indicated the existing and proposed land use designation.
Zoning Map Amendment
Concurrent with approval of the PD Master Plan, the property will be re-zoned by ordinance to reflect the application of the Planned Development combining district with a base CS district, and incorporation of this PD Master Plan for the property as illustrated in Figure 8, Zoning Plat.
Parcel Map
A parcel map will divide the property’s three existing parcels into four parcels to facilitate development or sale. The two vacant parcels would be subdivided into three parcels (A-C). The
existing medical office site (Parcel D), would be reconfigured and included as part of the overall PD Master Plan.Figure 10, Site Plan, prepared by the project engineer indicates how the property will be subdivided. The three existing lots will be re-organized into four parcels: Parcel A, 6.30 acres, Parcel B, 1.62 acres, Parcel C, 10.06 acres, Parcel D, 1.69 acres.
Development
Development anticipated within the PD Master Plan would be in the range of 572,033-606,033 square feet of residential, commercial, office, and/or institutional uses, including up to 150 multi-family dwelling units. All land uses permitted in the PD Master Plan are presented in Section 5.0.
Figure 10, Site Plan, is presented in Section 4.5. Figure 10 illustrates probable build-out on-site, which is commensurate with the low end of the square footage range indicated above. Figure 10Billustrates an alternative build-out that reflects the high end of the square footage range. The conceptual Site Plan (Figure 10) anticipates the uses described below. The square footage of each use is that provided on the conceptual Site Plan, and could slightly increase or decrease. These specific individual uses are for illustrative purposes only and none are individually required for future submissions to be in conformance.
▪ Approximately 16,000 square feet of existing medical facilities (to be retained); ▪ 10,000 square feet for flex commercial/medical;
▪ 215,000 square foot medical office, urgent care, residential care, assisted living, skilled nursing and/or hospital with a parking deck (multi-story with 46,500 square-foot footprint);
▪ 150-unit multifamily residential development.
All uses will share common driveway access to Juan Hernandez Drive. The conceptual Site Plan illustrates the overall development concept, including the proposed land uses, building placement, circulation patterns, parking, and open space. The descriptions in this section are based on the conceptual Site Plan.
Parcels Aand B
The proposed medical/hospital facilities will occupy the buildings on Parcels A and B. Two pick-up/drop-off areas are located adjacent to the proposed buildings to assist patients.
Development of Parcels A and B includes a parking structure that will be shared among the Medical uses along with access and utility infrastructure. Parcel A and B employees/residents/visitors will have access to the publicly-accessible park located on Parcel C via the sidewalk and trail connections.
Parcel C
Parcel C will be developed with 150 multifamily residential units... Parcel C may also be developed with Single Family attached and detached for-sale dwelling units or other medical office uses.
ParcelD
Parcel D includes two existing medical buildings totaling approximately 16,000 square feet and parking. The existing medical buildings will remain unless full build out is pursued at which point the buildings will be removed and replaced by buildings and/or parking.
Parkland/Open Space
The PD Master Plan includes the provision of approximately 2.0 acres of parks and open space.
Amenities on Parcel C include a pickleball court, , a tot lot/play area, open play lawns, shade structures, picnic tables, seating areas, and jogging/walking trail connections to adjacent sidewalk systems. If proposed, recreational parkland amenities in Parcel A could include passive recreational opportunities with a landscaped area and park benches. Trail connections are provided throughout the property including new pedestrian access to the existing medical campus (Parcel D).
Site Access/Circulation
Accessto the projectsite will be provided by two new driveways. . Rosewood Lane will provide the primaryaccesstoParcelsA-Cthrough themiddle oftheproperty. 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. All newaccesswayswill be designedtomeet City of MorganHill design and performance standardsforstreets, 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 parkwith a jogging/walking trail for pedestrians,willserve asa passage wayfrom 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 to meet the parking needs of the development.
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 plan 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 Rosewood 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, 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 viewsfrom 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 ParcelsBandD, andclosingwith the development of ParcelA.
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 asseven years, which is why it is expected to be the final element of the project to be developed. 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.
The building architecture and design are expected to be inspired by a distinctly modern and geometric aesthetic, using classical materials for a timeless appearance. The elevations may be crafted of wood, stone and stucco. Transparent glazing panes may 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 will be reduced in mass by using landscape screens facing US Highway 101.
Full Size Conceptual Landscape Plans, will be provided 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 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. The PD Master Plan allows a range of 572,033 – 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 willremain to be taken by the City prior to construction. These approvals willmost likely be separate actionsfor 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. 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.).
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.

5.0 LAND USES
Table 1, PD Master Plan Allowed and Conditional Uses, presents uses allowed by the PD Master Plan. The table identifies the use as a permitted (P) or conditionally permitted (C) land use. Uses in bold are new uses added to the permitted usesin the CS zoning district as part of this PD Master Plan. Some uses permitted in the CS district were eliminated from the list. The MU-F General Plan designation permits the property to be developed in a mixed use fashion allowing residential and hospital uses not currently allowed within the 2035 General Plan Commercial land use designation or the CS zoning district.
The conceptual Site Plan portraysfive types of uses on the property; however, a revised site plan, or the future reuse or re-purposing of buildings after they are constructed and initially occupied, could change or add to those uses. Table 1, PD Master Plan Allowed and Conditional Uses, provides a comprehensive list of allowed and conditional land uses that could be approved within the PD Master Plan.

6.0 DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS
Development standards such as heights, setbacks, and building coverage within the planned development combining district are established in the PD Master Plan. Those standards may deviate from development standards in the Service Commercial base zoning district except that the maximum permitted floor area ratio and residential density may not exceed maximums established in the 2035 General Plan for the commercial land use designation. The floor area ratio for the Commercial land use designation in the 2035 General Plan is
0.6. The general plan amendment to Mixed Use Flex changes the floor area ratio to 0.5, which is reflected in the PD Master Plan. Standards in bold have been revised from those of the CS zoning district as part of this PD Master Plan. Table 2, PD Master Plan Development Standards, presents the development standards.

7.0 CONSISTENCY WITH 2035 GENERAL PLAN
7.1 General Plan Land Use Designations
2035 General Plan- Commercial. The Commercial designation is primarily located along arterial roadways west of US Highway 101 and along the eastern freeway frontage. This designation isintended to allow a wide range of retail businesses, administrative and executive office uses, and professional services, either in standalone buildings or as part of shopping centers. The largest concentrations of this designation are found along Monterey Road and at the freeway interchanges, where retail stores are emphasized. The Service Commercial overlay along Monterey Road, north of Wright Avenue, allows auto-related uses, except for sales. The Commercial designation allows a maximum FAR of 0.6 and Mixed Use Flex designation allows a maximum FAR of 0.5.
The General Plan goals and policies for Commercial with a Planned Development Combining District overlay are described below. In general, the 2035 General Plan encourages neighborhood-scale shopping near residential neighborhoods to foster walking and biking and to avoid car trips. 2035 General Plan - Mixed Use Flex. 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 a Residential or Mixed-Use project 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.
Because the PD Master Plan includes a mix of uses on the property including retail, medical office, medical hospital, multi-family apartments5, and a park element as part of the Planned Development Combining District, Mixed Use in addition to Commercial 2035 General Plan goals and policies have been analyzed. 5 All references to apartments instead refer to townhomes and single-family detached dwellings as revised by the new site plan revised on October 6, 2020.

Consistent: The PD Master Plan’s conceptual Site Plan provides a well-planned, aesthetically pleasing, livable, sustainable and wellconnected residential neighborhood with integrated commercial/retail and medical offices.
6 All references to apartments instead refer to townhomes and single-family detached dwellings as revised by the new site plan revised on October 6, 2020.
Policy CNF-11.5 Outside Connections. Require new subdivisions to provide multiple connections to the surrounding community.
Methods to achieve this may include:
▪ Providing multiple points of entry into the project for motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians.
▪ Extending the existing street pattern at the edges of the subdivision into the site. Extended streets should match the type and scale ofstreetsto which they connect.
▪ Installing landscaping and street improvements at the edge of subdivisions that appear as common amenities
shared with adjacent neighborhoods.
Consistent: As shown in the PD Master Plan conceptual Site Plan, development within the property will be designed to be compatible with the surrounding neighborhood. Multiple points of pedestrian ingress/egress areprovided alongBarrettAvenue and Juan Hernandez Drive, with connections to existing sidewalks. Two points of ingress/ egressfor vehicles and bicycles are provided alongBarrettAvenue, and two along Juan Hernandez Drive. A private drive is provided along the southern portion of the property that could provide connectively tothe adjacent vacant parcelto the south when itis developed in the future.
The conceptual Site Plan provides for connectivity tothis adjacent vacant parcel to facilitate connectivity in anticipation of its eventual development. Residential andopen space/park uses willbe adjacentto existing residential uses and

nfrastructure Goals and Policies Consistency Analysis
Noise GOAL SSI-8 Prevention of noise from interfering with human activities or causing health problems.
Policy SSI-8.1 Exterior Noise Level Standards. Require new development projects to be designed and constructed to meet acceptable exterior noise level standards (see Table SSI-1), as follows:
▪ Apply a maximum exterior noise level of 60 dBA Ldn
in residential areas where outdoor use is a major
consideration (e.g., backyards in single-family housing developments and recreation areas in multi-family housing projects). Where the City determinesthat providing an Ldn of 60 dBAorlower cannot be achieved after the application of reasonable and feasible mitigation, an Ldn of 65 dBA may be permitted.
▪ Indoor noise levels should not exceed an Ldn of 45 dBA in new residential housing units.
Consistent: The conceptual Site Plan includes a 25 foot buffer from the US Highway 101 off-ramp and places the parking and parking garage closest to the freeway to further buffer the medical and residential uses. Residentially occupied buildings are located a minimum of 250 feet from theUS Highway101s
through lanes. A noise analysis was completed for the project that determined all exterior and interior noise levels would be met with implementation ofthe recommendations contained therein.
Mitigation measures will be implemented when the buildings are constructed toensure the acceptable noise levels are met.
▪ Noise levels in new residential development exposed to an exterior Ldn 60dBA or greatershould be limited to a
maximum instantaneous noise level (e.g., trucks on busy streets, train warning whistles) in bedrooms of 50dBA.
Maximum instantaneous noise levels in all other habitable rooms should not exceed 55 dBA. The maximum outdoor
noise level for newresidences near the railroad shall be 70 dBA Ldn, recognizing that train noise is characterized by relatively few loud events.
Policy SSI-8.4 Office Noise Level Standards. Interior noise levels in office buildings should be maintained at 45 dBA Leq (hourly average) or less, rather than 45 dBA Ldn (daily average).
Consistent: Mitigation measures including noise reduction measures and emergency generator noise suppressors will be implemented when the buildings are constructed to ensure the acceptable noise levels are met. A noise analysisis provided as part of the CEQA documentation.
Policy SSI-8.9 Site Planning and Design. Require attention tosite planning and design techniques other than sound walls to reduce noise impacts, including: a) installing earth berms, b) increasing the distance between the noise source and the receiver; c) using nonsensitive structures such as parking lots, utility areas, and garages to shield noise sensitive areas; d) orienting buildings to shield outdoor spaces from the noise source; and e) minimizing the noise at its source.
Consistent: Building location was taken into account in the conceptual Site Plan to locate sensitive uses a minimum of 250feetfromthethroughlanes of US Highway101.Building
placement and strategically placed landscaping will help to minimize noise at its source. Additionally, the noise
analysis recommends an 8 foot sound wall along Highway 101 to reduce noise impacts to the residential component of the project.

8.0 PD MASTER PLAN AND ZONING FINDINGS
8.1 PD Master Plan Findings
The following statements describe how the PD Master Plan complies with the findings required for the approval of a planned development project per Municipal Code Section 18.30.050.H.7 (Findings).
General Plan and Zoning Consistency
a. The proposed development is consistent with the general plan, zoning code and any applicablespecific plan or area plan adoptedly city council.
Finding
The PD Master Plan incorporates an amendment of the 2035 General Plan. The 2035 General Plan designation of Mixed Use Flex with a seven dwelling unit per acre minimum and 24 dwelling unit per acre maximum will allow the residential uses proposed within the PD Master Plan and the hospital use, not currently an allowed use on the property. Section 7 outlines in greater detail how the PD Master Plan is consistent with the goals and policies of the 2035 General Plan. As allowed by Municipal Code Section 18.30.050, the PD Master Plan identifies several changes to the development standards that apply in the CS district; these changes include increased building heights and modifications to parking standards for shared parking arrangements. The floor area ratio is reduced from 0.6 to 0.5. The Planning Commission will have say on two aspects of future development, to ensure consistency with zoning regulations. Design approval is required for all development, during which the merits of the site plan and architectural design will be considered. Some uses may require a conditional use permit, and those will require a hearing to determine suitability. During these reviews, consistency with zoning code requirements will be analyzed asthey specifically relate to the development project. The PD Master Plan is not located within a specific plan or area plan.
Superior to Development Under Existing Zoning
b. The proposed development issuperiorto the development that could occur underthestandards applicable inthe existing zoningdistricts.
Finding
The PD Master Plan allows a mix of compatible uses, including a much-needed residential component to provide sustainability to the remainder of the uses, and a retail and medical office / hospital component to provide work opportunities to the neighborhood and community. The urgent care/ pharmacy would provide a convenient location for the surrounding neighborhood and patronsto the school to utilize the services it will provide. The affordable multi-family residential uses will allow tenants to age in place, and will provide a near-by down-sizing option for empty nesters in the adjacent single family houses. The passive parkwith a walking/jogging trailsystem, located alongBarrett Avenue and US Highway 101, will allow for enjoyment by the retail and medical office employees and visitors, as well as by the apartment residents7and residents of the surrounding neighborhood. The high-density residential use will allow elementary school-aged children to walk to Barrett Elementary School. The retail area will provide convenience services to both the medical/office uses and residents.
Substantial Public Benefit
c. The proposed project will provide a substantial public benefit as defined in Paragraph 8 (Substantial Public Benefit Defined) below.The public benefit provided shall be ofsufficient value as determined by the planning commission to justify deviation fromthestandards ofthe zoning districtthat currently appliesto the property.
Substantial Public Benefit Defined. When used in this section, “substantial public benefit” means a project feature not otherwise required by the zoning code or any other provision of local,state, or federal lawthat substantially exceedsthe city’s minimumdevelopmentstandards and significantly advances goals ofthe general plan. A project must include one or moresubstantial public benefits to be rezoned as a planned development.The public benefit provided shall be ofsufficient value as determined by city councilto justify deviation fromthestandards ofthe zoning district that currently apply to the property. Examples of substantial public benefitsinclude but are not limited to:
a. Housing that is affordable to lower-income households. b. Public plazas, courtyards, open space, and other public gathering places that provide opportunities for people to informally meet and gather. c. New or improved pedestrian and bicycle pathways that enhance circulation within the property and connectivity to the surrounding neighborhood. d. Green building and sustainable development features that substantially exceed the city’s minimum requirements.
e. Preservation,restoration, orrehabilitation of a historic resource. f. Increased transportation optionsforresidents and visitorsto walk, bike, and take public transit to destinations and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
g. Publicly accessible parks and open space beyond the minimum required by the city or other public agency.
h. Habitatrestoration and or protection of natural resources beyond the minimum required by the city or other public agency.
7 All references to apartments instead refer to townhomes and single-family detached dwellings as revised by the new site plan revised on October 6, 2020.
Finding
The items shown in bold above are items for which the PD Master Plan exceeds the City’s minimum development standards.
Affordable Housing. The PD Master Plan adds residential uses on the property in conjunction with an amendment to the 2035 General Plan. The residential units are planned at a density of about 20 units per acre, thus increasing the inherent affordability, and 15 percent of the units will be deed restricted affordable units. The PD Master Plan proponent agrees to enter into a contract with the City to ensure the continued affordability of all affordable rental units for 55 years or a longer period of time if required by an applicable construction or mortgage financing assistance program, mortgage insurance program, or rental subsidy program. Rents for the lower income density bonus units will be set at an affordable rent as defined in Section 50053 of the Health and Safety Code.
Single Family for-sale units will comply with the City of Morgan Hill Municipal Code Section 18.48.070, and the city shall ensure that the initial occupant of all affordable for-sale units are households of low-, very low-, or moderate-income, as applicable, that the units are offered at an affordable housing cost as defined in Health and Safety Code Section 50052.5, and that affordability covenants and restrictions continue for 55 years.
Under Municipal Code Section 18.156, residential units are subject to Residential Development Control System (RDCS), and require an application for Residential Building Allotment for any units proposed. SB-330 (2019 – Nancy Skinner) was recently signed by the Governor and eliminates this program that is designed to meter new housing development over time.
Parks and Public Gathering Places. A passive park along Barrett Avenue, a passive park between the retail and medical uses, and installation of a walking/jogging trail around the perimeter of the property are proposed to provide a public benefit.The two parkareas encompass approximately 2.20 acres ofland.This acreage does not include the walking trail within other open areas of the property. This area can be used by residents, employees, and the general public asthey visit the uses on the projectsite. The tenants on the property may also use the passive park as an amenity for people to informally meet and gather.
Pedestrian and Bicycle Pathways. Pathways are proposed within the park to allow walking opportunities and exercise for seniors and youth. Walkways will connect from the park to all other uses on the property and to the surrounding local streets to provide full connectivity. This will encourage visitors to walk, bike, and use other forms of transportation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote a healthy community. The pathways will provide a connection between the high-density residential uses and Barrett Elementary School, and will connect all uses to the retail commercial area.
Because the development is a Commercial subdivision, the applicant is technically not required to dedicate open space per Title 17, Section 17.28.150. However the proponents, because they are submitting for a PD Master Plan, would like to dedicate a portion of the property as park area, available to the public and to the adjacent Barrett Elementary School. The minimum required open space for this project, if it were a multi-family subdivision, would be to provide recreation amenities in the amount
of .0088 acres per dwelling unit, at 200 dwelling units this would equal 1.76 acres of land. The park area and open space adjacent to Barrett Avenue is approximately 1.73 acres and would be dedicated with an easement, and be available to the general public. Additional public open space is provided where the pathway continues along US Highway 101. Additional open space and amenities are provided for private use of the multi-family residences (approximately 0.70 acres) and as a break area for the employees (approximately 0.44 acres); these would remain in private ownership.
Green and Sustainable Design. The buildings and site furnishings will include green building and sustainable development featuressuch as LED smart lighting,solar power, very low flow toilets, and building materials to encourage healthy indoor air quality.
Residential market-rate and affordable housing rental units are proposed to provide a sustainable land use pattern that reduces the number and length of vehicle trips. This higher density residential and mixed use development is within walking distance to Barrett Elementary School, and will also provide for convenient services within walking distance for the on-site employees and residents.
Bicycle parking and pathways are provided to promote alternative modes of transportation. Landscaping will be designed to meet and exceed the state standards for water conservation, including low water use trees and shrubs, and plantings to provide shade to reduce the need for excessive building cooling.
Community Benefits from the Project
Healthcare Facilities. The PD Master Plan would provide much needed medical facilities to serve the community. The Urgent Care/Pharmacy would reduce trips traveled to receive routine medical care. The Cancer Center would provide services to meet the growing need for this service in the area.
Retail Component. Providing an appropriately sized retail/restaurant building would provide onsite workers the opportunity to have breakfast or lunch within walking distance from their place of employment, avoiding automobile travel.
Creates Jobsfor MorganHill. The hospital, urgent care/pharmacy, medical office and retail uses proposed will provide varied work opportunities for the people living in Morgan Hill and the surrounding area.
Parks and Public Gathering Places. A passive park along Barrett Avenue, a passive park between the retail and medical uses, and installation of a walking/jogging trail around the perimeter of the property are proposed to provide a public health benefit. The two park areas encompass approximately 2.20 acres of land. It is expected the Restaurants will also have outdoor dining areas, providing places to gather.
Pedestrian and Bicycle Pathways. Pathways are proposed within the parks to allow walking opportunities and exercise for all ages. Walkways will connect from the park and to all other uses on the property and to the sidewalks on the surrounding streets, providing full connectivity.
Affordable Housing. The PD Master Plan adds residential uses on the property in conjunction with an amendment to the 2035 General Plan. As proposed in the Conceptual Site Plan, the residential units
are planned at a density of about 20 units per acre, thus increasing the inherent affordability, and 15 percent of the units will be deed restricted affordable units. If the project is designed with Single Family for-sale units, affordable housing will be provided per the City code.
School Drop-off. The project will help to alleviate the parking and drop-off issues associated with Barrett Avenue Elementary School. Cross walks will be installed on both adjoining streets to enhance walkability to and from the project. Parking to serve the school and public is expected to be provided in the park adjacent to BarrettAvenue.
Green and Sustainable Design. The buildings and site furnishings will include green building and sustainable development features.
Landscape the Site. The development will provide abundant landscaping throughout to create a green and aesthetic feel, as well as screen development from the traffic on US Highway 101, Juan Hernandez Drive and BarrettAvenue.
Restore Habitat. The project tree and landscape planting will enhance wildlife on the project site as well as provide a visually pleasing atmosphere for the surrounding area. Flowering plants and trees are proposed to accomplish this restoration. Adequate Property Size
Adequate Property Size
d. Thesitefortheproposeddevelopmentisadequateinsizeandshapetoaccommodateproposedlanduses.
Finding
With approximately 19.67 acres of land, there is adequate land area to provide the uses proposed in the PD Master Plan. The medical office / hospital uses proposed are intentionally located adjacent to the existing medical office to promote a walkablemedical campus. The retail uses, including public services, are proposed along the active local street to ensure visibility and ease of access by the surrounding residential uses and provide easy access by the residents and employees on the property. Residential uses, providing affordable housing, are located on the property to provide adequate separation from the highway and close proximity to the passive park and Barrett Elementary School.
The PD Master Plan under a Mixed Use Flex general plan designation, which includes multi-family residential uses, retail commercial and restaurant, medical office/hospital uses, and open space parks, will provide a dynamic environment of compact living. This will allow residents and employeesto meet daily needs and lessen the need for a private automobile.
Adequate Infrastructure
e. Adequatetransportation facilities, infrastructure, and public servicesexist or will be provided to servethe proposed development.
Finding
The PD Master Plan, which abuts the US Highway 101 off-ramp, is surrounded on two sides by local streets and has a driveway connection just south of the existing medical offices, used for access to the medical campus and additional driveways are proposed for site access. Juan Hernandez Drive and Barrett Avenue are existing local streets with the capacity to handle the development of this property. Circulation to the property from within Morgan Hill is provided by Tennant Avenue and Butterfield Boulevard. Public utilities exist in the surrounding streets and can serve the proposed development.
Compatible with Surroundings
f. The proposed development will not have a substantial adverseeffect on surrounding property and will be compatible with the existing and planned land use character of thesurrounding area.
Finding
The PD Master Plan deviates from the approved commercial zoning existing on the property by the addition of hospital and multi-family residential uses. With the incorporated general plan amendment to Mixed Use Flex, and the mixed use development envisioned in the conceptual Site Plan, suitable transitions between the existing uses will be provided. There are no uses included in the conceptual Site Plan thatwould have an adverse effect onthe surrounding residential andschool uses.The existing residential uses adjacentto Juan HernandezDrive andBarrettAvenue, andBarrett Elementary School will benefitfrom the retail and restaurant usesthat the PD Master Plan provides. The park and open space provided on the property will benefit the adjacentBarrett Elementary School and the adjacentresidences. The high density residentialuse will provide a suitable buffer betweenthe adjacent single-family residences and school, and the walkable medical campus. The uses proposed will not cause odors, health risks, or safety issues to the surrounding sensitive uses. Adequate measures will be taken during the construction phase to protect the surrounding property from noise, vibration, dust, and construction traffic.
Zoning Map Findings
g. Findingsrequired forthe concurrentapprovalof a zoning map amendment can be made.
Finding
The projectsite isin a Services Commercial zoning district with a PD combining overlay so the finding can be made that it is consistent with the zoning map. Amending the 2035 General Plan use to allow the residential and hospital use will not alter the zoning map.
8.2 Zoning Amendment Findings
The following statements describe how the PD Master Plan complies with the findings required for the approval of a planned development project per Municipal Code Section 18.114.060 - Findings for Approval.
A. Findingsfor allZoningCode andZoningMap Amendments.
General Plan Consistency
1. The proposed amendment is consistent with the general plan and any applicablespecific plan as provided by Government Code Section 65860.
Finding
With the general plan amendment that is incorporated into the PD Master Plan, the zoning map amendment is consistent with the 2035 General Plan. The general plan land use diagram amendment from Commercial to Mixed Use Flex allows specific residential uses to be included in the CS district with the PD overlay.
Public Interest, Health, Safety, Convenience, Welfare
2. The proposed amendment will not be detrimental to the public interest, health,safety, convenience, or welfare of the city.
Finding
The multi-family residential uses would be beneficial to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, and welfare of the city. The multi-family residential uses would provide more opportunitiesfor residents to work near the medical offices, retail uses, and medical/hospital facility on the property, all of which provide job opportunities for the onsite and surrounding residential uses. The residential uses, including 15 percent affordable units, would also allow seniors the opportunity to age in place, consistent with 2025 General Plan policy. Providing residential uses in close proximity to the commercial and office uses would also reduce the greenhouse gas emissions if the residents were employees or were patrons of the proposed uses, and would enable school-aged children to walk to school. The multi-family residential housing added on this property, when capped at 150 units, would not create an overload on the local street system. Additionally, where the housing is positioned on the property allows for a step down from the existing residential and public facility use to the denser office and commercial uses. The hospital use would also be beneficial to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, and welfare of the city. The hospital would provide much needed medical service to the community and a variety of job opportunities.
Internal Consistency
B. AdditionalFindingforZoningCodeTextAmendments.The proposedamendmentisinternallyconsistent with other applicable provisions of the zoning code.
Finding
No changes to the existing zoning code text will be made. The PD Master Plan continues to rely on Zoning Code development standardsfor the most part. Several deviations from established standards are specifically outlined in the PD Master Plan, consistent with the regulations for establishing PD districts and PD Master Plans. There would be no internal inconsistencies as a result of the PD Master Plan.
Physically SuitableSite
C. Additional Finding for Zoning Map Amendments. The affected siteis physically suitablein terms of design, location,shape,size, and other characteristicsto ensurethat the permitted landuses and development will comply with the zoning code and general plan and contributeto the health,safety, and welfare ofthe property,surrounding properties, and the communityatlarge.
Finding
The 19.67 acre parcel is suitable in design, location, shape and size to accommodate the uses allowed by the PD Master Plan. The multi-family residential use would be appropriate next to the passive park located on the property along Barrett Avenue and would serve as a buffer from the more intense uses of office/commercial on the southern end of the property. With the amendment to the 2035 General Plan changing the land use designation from Commercial to Mixed Use Flex, the PD Master Plan is consistent with the general plan and zoning code. All of the uses in the PD Master Plan will contribute to the health, safety, and welfare of persons living or working on the property and surrounding properties, and to the community at large. The PD Master Plan promote community health and social interaction within the neighborhood by providing retail stores, a restaurant, plazas, and open spaces as gathering places. The pathways provide places for healthful exercise.

REPORT NARRATIVE:
REPORT NARRATIVE:
The City’s 10 water booster stations and 17 water well sites require ongoing maintenance and upkeep, including painting. The scope of work consists of industrial maintenance painting of all exposed piping, valves, and metal appurtenances, including the necessary surface preparation work for iron and steel surfaces and the painting of buildings and floors when needed. The selected contractor will be responsible for furnishing all labor, paint and painting supplies, travel time, expenses, and equipment necessary to do the work. The scheduled facilities for this agreement are listed below but are subject to change based on necessity:
FY2026-2028 Painting Schedule
FY 26 FY 27 FY28
Booster Llagas Encino Woodland
2 Well Butterfield Nordstrom Boys Ranch 1
Well Diana 3 Boys Ranch 3 Dunne 1 and 2
A detailed Request for Proposal (RFP) was issued to select a qualified Contractor for the annual maintenance painting of well sites and booster stations on a time and materials basis.
The RFP was advertised in the Morgan Hill Times. Additionally, the RFP was posted to both the City’s website and the Public Purchase website. The City received three proposals that were reviewed by a team of evaluators to score per the scope for Experience, Capability, and References. A score of 30 or higher out of 40 was required to move on to the price scoring. All three contractors had scores that met that qualification. Staff recommends the award of the three-year annual painting maintenance services contract to Vivid-Accent Painting Company, who scored the highest overall in the evaluation. The final bid tabulation is shown in the attachments.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT:
Not Applicable
Since maintenance of the City’s water infrastructure is a regular operational function of the City, no efforts were made to inform the community about this proposed project.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:
City Council could choose to reject the proposals and reissue an RFP. This is not recommended as the formal process was followed per the purchasing policy, and a rebid is not likely to result in a contract with added value. City Council could decide not to approve the agreement and direct staff to postpone maintenance painting of these facilities. This is not recommended because not keeping up on the annual maintenance of the water infrastructure can lead to system failure.
PRIOR CITY COUNCIL AND COMMISSION ACTIONS:
On October 4, 2023, Council approved a three-year agreement with HB Restoration, Inc. for annual painting services in the amount of $180,000.
FISCAL AND RESOURCE IMPACT:
Funds for this maintenance services agreement were budgeted at $60,000 annually in the current biennial budget, within the Water Operations Division 650.80.40.5710.42510.
Subsequent years (Fiscal Years 2027-28) are subject to budget appropriations by the City Council.
CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act):
Categorical Exemption
The planned maintenance and management of existing City infrastructure falls within the CEQA categorical exemption of Class 1, Existing Facilities.

APPROVED BY: City Manager
APPROVE THIRD AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT WITH LUHDORFF
AND SCALMANINI FOR TWO TEST WELLS
RECOMMENDATION(S)
Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute and administer the third Amendment to Agreement with Luhdorff and Scalmanini Consulting Engineers to add $68,000, for a new total not to exceed contract amount of $415,100.

REPORT NARRATIVE:
On September 6, 2023, the City Council approved a Consultant Agreement with Luhdorff and Scalmanini for drilling two test wells for a cost not to exceed $347,100.
The two potential test well sites were located at Eagle View Drive and Laurel Drive. In December 2023, a first test well was drilled at the Eagle View Drive site (Attachment 1).
This test well was successful with favorable water quality results and the development of this well into a full-scale municipal well is underway. The second test well at Laurel Drive was investigated by Luhdorff and Scalmanini and was determined to not meet water well setback requirements and therefore was not drilled. Since then, staff has been researching a replacement location for the Laurel well site.
On August 7, 2024, a First Amendment to the Consultant Agreement with Luhdorff and Scalmanini was authorized by the City Manager to extend the contract duration by one year. The time extension was necessary to continue the research to locate a suitable replacement test well site. During the search, a recent development project in the planning stages agreed to allow the City to drill a test well on their property located behind Jackson Park (Attachment 2). Luhdorff and Scalmanini have examined this site
3 (Jackson Park test well) and have determined this location shows promise for a future well site. If this test well shows favorable results, an agreement to secure an easement on the property with the owner will be executed.
On August 2, 2025, a Second Amendment to the Consultant Agreement with Luhdorff and Scalmanini was authorized by the City Manager to further extend the contract duration through August 31, 2026. This extension was necessary to provide additional time to plan and drill the Jackson Park test well. Shortly after the Second Amendment was executed, Luhdorff and Scalmanini requested additional compensation to drill the Jackson Park test well, as the original quote was provided in 2023 and costs have escalated due to higher labor and material costs. The additional cost being requested for the Third Amendment is $68,000, which will cover the increases for drilling the Jackson Park test well.
Staff therefore recommends the approval of the Third Amendment to the Consultant Agreement with Luhdorff and Scalmanini (Attachment 3) as new municipal wells are a vital component to the City’s water distribution system. If approved, the Jackson Park test well may be drilled as early as April/May 2026.
If the Jackson Park test well provides favorable results, a larger municipal well will be constructed at the site, which will include a building, piping, pump system, electrical system, fencing and landscaping. If the well demonstrates low production or poor water quality, the test well will be abandoned and new location(s) will be proposed at a later date.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT:
Staff will continue to provide monthly updates on the City's website and will provide weekly information through Nextdoor and the City’s email subscriber list.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:
None. Test wells are necessary in order to determine the depth of clean drinking water available at the proposed well site prior to constructing a larger capacity and more expensive well for municipal use.
PRIOR CITY COUNCIL AND COMMISSION ACTIONS:
On September 6, 2023, the City Council approved a Consultant Agreement with Luhdorff and Scalmanini for drilling two test wells for a cost not to exceed $347,100.
FISCAL AND RESOURCE IMPACT:
Fiscal:
If approved, the Third Amendment to the Consultant Agreement with Luhdorff and Scalmanini may provide one new municipal water well for the City. The not-to-exceed maximum contract amount is $415,100. There is sufficient funding for this action in the current Capital Improvement Budget, in project #601000 – Water Wells, from the Water Impact Fund (651).
3 Resource:
Significant time is not required of staff for this work. This work is mostly performed by a consultant and a drilling contractor. Minor oversight will be required during the drilling due to the close proximity to residential properties.
CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act):
Categorical Exemption
New construction or conversion of small structures (CEQA Guidelines Section 15303d).

July 2023
The Scope of Work outlined below includes the tasks required to investigate and evaluate the potential of two sites within the City for the installation of new wells to augment the City's current groundwater supply well network. If the sites are determined to be favorable for new wells, LSCE will prepare new well designs. The proposed work plan detailed below was developed based on our understanding of the City's needs and our experience with projects of similar size and scope.
SCOPE OF WORK
The Scope of Work is outlined in the following tasks:
Task 1- Project Coordination, Meetings, and Administration Task 2 - Site Specific Investigations
Task 3 - Monitoring Well Sampling
Task 1 - Project Coordination, Meetings, and Administration Task 1.1 - Project Kickoff
LSCE's work on the project will begin with a kickoff meeting with City staff and key LSCE team members to discuss the various aspects of the project. Items such as contact information, chain of command, the City's project expectations, respective roles and responsibilities, schedule, design preferences and parameters, and site constraints shall be discussed at the kick-off meeting.
Task 1.2 - Project Coordination, Meetings, and Administration Key LSCE team members will attend regular design meetings with the City to discuss various aspects of the project. For each meeting, LSCE will prepare and distribute meeting agendas, minutes, and action item summaries. LSCE will also provide frequent updates via email or telephone throughout the project as needed. This task also provides for project management and administrative activities such as: (a) contractual arrangements, (b) ongoing examination regarding adherence to scope, budget, and schedule, (c) coordination of staff resources (d) internal review of work products, (e) management of subcontractors, (f) billing review, and (g) scoping and budgeting.
Task 2 - Site Specific Investigations
Task 2 includes site specific investigations that will include exploratory drilling to characterize subsurface materials, identify potential aquifer units, collection of water samples for analysis, collection of lithologic and geophysical data to be used to design a production well(s), and to estimate potential well yield. It is LSCE's understanding that the City has selected two sites for site specific investigations. One site is located at the Centennial Recreation Center, while the other is located at Galvin Park.
Task 2.1 Test Hole and Monitoring Well Evaluation
Task 2.1 will include test hole drilling and monitoring well installation at each of the two sites mentioned above. A test hole will be drilled at each site to collect lithologic samples for analysis and to conduct down hole geophysical surveys that will be used evaluate subsurface materials and to design the new production well(s). Based on the results oftest hole drilling, LSCE will recommend converting the test holes to multiple completion monitoring well that will allow for the collection of zone-specific water levels and water quality samples. The preliminary test hole depth will be based on the information collected during the hydrogeologic investigation conducted previously and is assumed to be 375 feet for the purposes of 4LSCE

project cost estimate. LSCE will provide subcontracted test hole drilling services from a licensed drilling contractor and will oversee the work to ensure that it is performed in accordance with our stringent specifications and high expectations.
LSCE will provide documentation and sampling services during the drilling process including a drilling log, geological samples at a minimum of 10-foot intervals, geophysical (electric) logs, and grain size distribution analysis. If the nature, depth, and thickness of aquifer materials from the test holes are favorable in terms of potential water supply, LSCE will recommend converting each of the test holes to a multiple completion monitoring well. A typical monitoring well may include up to three, 2-inch diameter polyvinyl chloride (PVC) piezometers, completed in different zones. The screen section(s) of each piezometer will be isolated from one another using intermediate bentonite seals allowing for discrete water level measurements and water quality sampling. LSCE will oversee the construction and development of the monitoring wells. After development of the monitoring wells, LSCE will mobilize equipment to collect water samples from each piezometer and submit the samples to a state certified laboratory for a modified Title 22 Drinking Water analysis and other constituents of concern in the area.
If the results of the test hole investigation are not favorable for the construction of a drinking water supply well, and after discussions with the City, the test hole(s) will be abandoned in compliance with all State and local standards.
LSCE will compare the lithology encountered during drilling, geophysical logs, and zonal water quality to that of existing City wells and other wells (production and monitoring) in the vicinity of the project area.
The performance of existing City wells and other wells completed by LSCE will be used to estimate the yield of wells constructed at each site. Based on favorable results from the test hole and monitoring well phases, LSCE will prepare preliminary production well designs.
Task 2.2 Investigation Summary and Preliminary Well Designs LSCE will prepare and deliver to the City an Investigation Summary and Preliminary Well Design Report that will summarize the findings of the site assessment and site characterization work performed at each site as part ofTasks 2.1. The report will include:
• A summary of all field activities associated with test hole drilling, monitoring well construction and development, and water quality testing
• A lithologic log based upon interpretation of collected lithologic samples and geophysical logs • Geophysical logs
• Grain size distribution charts of selected formation samples • Monitoring well as-built diagrams
• Daily inspection sheets
• A summary of water quality results and analytical reports • Copies of all project permits
• Copy of Well Completion Reports
LSCE will prepare site specific preliminary production well designs based on data gathered during test hole and monitoring well evaluation and our experience in the area. The principal design elements to achieve a hydraulically efficient and sand-free well include:
• Borehole and casing depths and diameters
• Casing material type(s)
4LSCE
• Screen placements
• Screen type and material

The report will include drafted preliminary well design profiles. The design elements of the wells and yield estimation will be discussed in the report. An engineer's estimate for the construction and testing of the wells will be included in the reports. LSCE will meet with the City to discuss the results and findings of the test hole/monitoring well investigation and new well design recommendations. LSCE will incorporate the City's design comments into the final well design(s).
Task 3- Monitoring Well Sampling
Task 3 includes sampling of the newly installed monitoring wells ( up to six individual piezometers). LSCE will provide technicians and equipment to purge and sample each piezometer. LSCE will deliver the samples to a California state certified laboratory for water quality analysis which will include a Title 22 Drinking Water analysis. The results of the water quality laboratory analysis will be tabulated in a water quality summary spreadsheet for reference.

REPORT NARRATIVE:
On February 7, 2018, the City Council authorized the lease of the El Toro Building to Community Christian. As part of this lease, Community Christian was to provide space at the facility for the Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous groups previously housed at the Friendly Inn Non-profit Center. The lease was extended by the Council for 5 additional years in June 2022.
This lease agreement has worked successfully for the last 8 years. This success is measured both from a fiscal perspective and community resource perspective.
Community Christian has significantly renovated the building and helped to transform the area. They have taken on 100 percent of all costs associated with the property and used their own funds to invest in improvement of the property, which has removed the City from any ongoing maintenance costs at the aging facility. Additionally, Community Christian has provided space at the facility for community supporting organizations to utilize. Currently, Community Christian facilitates use for Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous and is estimated to support 1,500 visits per month, with the organizations holding dozens of meetings. Community Christian also supports the City
5 by using the facility as a cold weather shelter during severe weather events and uses the office space in the building to support their efforts in partnering with Second Harvest to provide food distribution.
The current lease agreement is scheduled through June 2027. While the conclusion of the lease is over a year away, Community Christian desires to continue to make longterm investments in the building, which this lease extension would support. The most urgent upcoming investments include repairs to the roof and heating/cooling systems at the facility. The lease of the site is provided at the low cost of $100 per month, as the lease requires a very significant amount of time to be provided to the community organizations using the site (at very low costs) and that all costs and liability for use of the site be transferred to the tenant. The agreement continues to be viewed by City staff as a “win/win” partnership scenario, in which the tenant is allowed to make significant repairs to a City facility for the City, while ensuring their investment and providing required support to other community organizations.
The updated lease would continue through June 2032. It is important to note that the City would be able to terminate the lease agreement early should extenuating circumstances require it.
