PUBLIC HEARING ITEMS:
ITEM NO. 3 HOAG DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT ONE-YEAR EXTENSION (PA2020-065)
Site Location: 1 Hoag Drive
SUMMARY: The City and Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian ("Hoag") entered into a
Development Agreement ("Agreement") in 1994 to ensure the orderly development
of the hospital over time. On July 23, 2019, the City Council approved a third
amendment to extend the 25 -year Term of the Agreement for an additional ten (10)
years in exchange for certain community benefits provided by Hoag. Hoag has
requested a fourth amendment to extend the Term of the Agreement for one (1)
additional year in light of COVID-19-related impacts that have constrained their
ability to plan for the future development of the hospital campus consistent with the
amended Agreement. The Agreement grants Hoag the vested right to develop the
hospital campus consistent with an extensive set of regulations and mitigation
measures, all of which would remain unchanged by this proposed fourth
amendment.
The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing and acted to recommend
approval of a two (2) -year extension of the Development Agreement.
