SUBJECT: Providence Saint John’s Health Center Phase Two Master Plan, Development Agreement Amendment, and related entitlements
(15ENT-0068; 15ENT-0212; 18ENT-0307; 19ENT-0206; 19PWMISC-0080) ADDRESS: 2121 Santa Monica Boulevard and associated addresses:
2001, 2021, 2032, 2042, 2121, 2200, 2209, 2211 and 2221 Santa Monica Boulevard; 2201, 2207 and 2213 Broadway; 1301 and 1339 20th Street; 1414, 1417, 1440 and 1453 21st Street; and 1300 and 1347 22nd Street
APPLICANT: Providence Saint John’s Health Center
PROPERTY OWNER: Providence Health Systems Southern California A public hearing will be held by the City Council for the following:
The Applicant, Providence Saint John’s Health Center (PSJ), has submitted applications for approval of a Phase Two Master Plan, Third Amendment to the Development Agreement between City and PSJ, repeal of the outdated Hospital Area Specific Plan (HASP), amendment to the Land Use and Circulation Element of the General Plan to reflect the repeal of the outdated HASP, Tentative Tract Map to align existing parcel lines within the Phase Two Master Plan area that is bounded by Santa Monica Blvd, 20th Street, Arizona Avenue and 23rd Street, and conditional (i.e., future) vacation of a portion of 21st Street between Broadway and Santa Monica Boulevard upon dedication of new public streets to be located on Saint John’s South Campus.
The Phase Two Master Plan and Third Amendment to the Development Agreement provide certain vested rights, development standards, infrastructure requirements, and community benefits for future buildings/improvements on portions of the Saint John’s Health Center Campus. The existing hospital rebuilt during the first phase of development will remain.
PSJ’s Phase Two Master Plan proposes a long-range plan for phased design, approval, and development of wellness/healthcare/research facilities, subterranean parking, open space areas, visitor housing, a minimum of 10 units of replacement multi-family housing, and new facilities for Providence’s existing Santa Monica Cancer Institute and Child and Family Development Center, all located on PSJ-owned parcels. The Master Plan’s phased development proposes up to 660,150 SF of above-grade floor area (approximately 563,625 SF of net-new above-grade floor area) that may be built over a period of 17 years. The proposed project was analyzed in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and this analysis is contained in the project’s Final Environmental Impact Report (SCH No. 2017041030) (FEIR).
It is recommended that the City Council do the following: 1) Certify the FEIR for the Project; 2) Adopt a Statement of Overriding Considerations and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program in accordance with CEQA; 3) Repeal the outdated HASP and amend the Land Use and Circulation Element of the General Plan to modify references to the HASP; 4) Adopt the Phase Two Master Plan; 5) Adopt an ordinance approving the Third Amendment to the Development Agreement; 6) Approve Tentative Tract Map 82303; and 7) Adopt a Resolution of Intention declaring its intention to approve a conditional (future) vacation of a portion of 21st Street between Broadway and Santa Monica Boulevard upon dedication of new public streets to be located on Saint John’s South Campus.
