Re: Hoag Hospital Master Plan Amendment (PA 2007 -073)
On January 18, 2008, Mayor Selich, Councilmember Rosansky and staff met with
representatives of Hoag Hospital and resident of the adjacent community of Villa Balboa to
discuss unresolved issues that are summarized in the attached staff report. Modifications of the
draft Development Agreement Amendment and Planned Community Development Plan (PC
Text) could result. Additionally, the precise language of several provisions of the Development
Agreement Amendment are still under discussion.
The PC Text may be revised relative to landscaping and screening improvements outlined in
the staff report. Hoag has committed to landscaping enhancements but a method to ensure
completion of improvements has not been established. Noise mitigation continues to be an
issue. Hoag has agreed to implement a window replacement program for certain Villa Balboa
units. Although a proposed "project design feature" (page 3 -17 of SEiR Volume III), the
program may be modified to include more units based upon a recommendation by the noise
consultant. What remains to be finalized is the precise language of the condition and how it will
be incorporated within project approvals to ensure enforcement. Discussions of other potential
noise mitigation including a sound wall or partial enclosure of the loading dock are continuing.
At the public hearing on January 31st, major components of the application will be presented.
The Supplemental EIR and the Responses to Comments will also be considered and
testimony from nearby residents and the general public taken with the hearing to be continued
to February 7th. Staff will provide a progress report at the hearing.
