I support the Planning Commission's recommendation for FAR on public land and at most the 0.75 as proposed in the General Plan. None of BCHD’s services require an increased FAR. allcove is currently operating in Building 514 and as BCHD has stated before, can move within existing property. It has been decades since the site operated as a hospital. BCHD provides NO emergency services. The public health district does not provide the broad, critical infrastructure and emergency services that the City of Redondo Beach provides ALL its residents.
Yet, BCHD’s CEO says he wants an exception for BCHD for an extremely high 1.25 FAR, equal to City Hall. They are not only advocating for an extremely high FAR for themselves, and ALL 26 parcels of public institutional land.
And they hired a lawyer to go against the City of Redondo Beach to try to get it. It’s time to clearly see what actions BCHD is taking, rather than relying on anecdotal stories about favorite services that have nothing to do with this important policy decision.

Certify the EIR at the present FAR levels and recommendations from the planning commission. If we don’t the city will have no open space left.

BCHD is not who should be deciding how the city does its zoning. Last time I checked they are not controlled by anyone but themselves and are so out of touch it would be better if they faded away. Until then no special exceptions for this out of touch entity.

Did BCHD get all the people commenting online for them from a drug rehab facility? They all keep parroting the same nonsense as if it were step 2 in a 12-step program. Do not make an exception for them to be at the same FAR level as city emergency services.

Keep BCHD at a 0.5 FAR! I’m getting tired of a health district that claims they act in the best interests of Redondo residents then threaten to sue us if they don’t get their way. Sorry but that shows to us they are not needed and certainly not important to the community. Time to disband BCHD and give the money back to the cities paying into their coffers.

Fire and Police have special jobs in the city and require different property zoning for their functions. Claiming a health district has the same importance to the community is totally ridiculous. Keep Public emergency (Institutional property) at 1.25 FAR and make all others 0.5. That makes the most sense and if BCHD wants to do something else then submit and plan and let the people decide. End of story.

I SUPPORT keeping the FAR for Public Institutional (P/I) land at 0.75 as stated in the updated General Plan, or at
0.50 as the Planning Commission recommended. Public land use should be compatible with surrounding residential areas. An increase to 1.25 FAR for BCHD or ALL P/I land use would be highly damaging to the character and quality of life of residents in the City.

I support keeping public institutional land uses the same for BCHD and the City with a 1.25 FAR in the General Plan update.
The Center for Health and Fitness and especially the Blue Zones project has been instrumental in helping me improve my health.

I support the uniform assignment of FAR for public institutions. Anything less than a FAR of 1.25 is signaling biasand jeopardizing services to thousands of Citizens in the Beach Cities- but mostly in Redondo.

Once again: BCHD provides many benefits to the public including us seniors. I can’t imagine allowing them a FAR equal to other public institutions would open the door for over development. The example of Parras as a multi story structure is asinine.

A uniform 1.25 FAR for public institution properties should be adopted by the City Council.

I write this short comment on behalf of Beach Cities Health District (BCHD). In addition to the comments previously submitted by BCHD relating to the EIR for the General Plan Update, BCHD objects to the following statement on pg. 2-83 – 2-84 in the FPEIR: ‘reducing the proposed FAR from 0.75 to 0.5 would have no material effect on the FPEIR.’ As set forth in the September 30, 2024 letter from our attorney, which I incorporate into this comment by reference, the environmental impacts of a proposed 0.5 FAR was not analyzed in the EIR. As set the staff report for this item states, ‘the current EIR provides coverage for a range .85-1.0 at the BCHD site.’ The FIR did not analyze the environmental impacts of a range different than that.
