three parcels with two separate buildings totaling 96,039 square feet in gross floor area and 340 beds.
The proposed redevelopment will merge the three underlying legal parcels to create a single building
site. The southerly building will be demolished and the northerly building will be modified to create a
combined 119,543 -square -foot facility with 195 beds. Also included in the design are ancillary spaces
such as a common kitchen and dining area, as well as shared amenities such as a fitness room, yoga
room, theater, salon, and bistro. All required parking will be provided on-site. The proposed design
complies with all Zoning Code development standards and no deviations are requested. The Applicant
requests an establishment of grade since portions of the building site have been altered and are not
representative of the prevailing grades across the site. If approved, this action would supersede Use
Permit No. UPI 285, Use Permit No. UP1396, and Modification Permit No. MD3054.
Recommended Action:
