• facilities for refuse storage and pick-up, air compressors, incinerators, or other equipment constituting a potential nuisance or undesirable view from adjacent properties or streets and adequate provisions to minimize their undesirable aspects; • Detailed elevations of all signs, as well as the location of such signs in the development. • a time schedule for construction and completion date; and • major elevations or perspective renderings of all buildings, suitable to determine whether the entire development will have architectural unity and be in harmony with surrounding development. As part of Kaiser's application submittal materials, they have included all of the information required under these PD zoning provisions as pertains to Phase 1 of the Medical Center. Given that the mixed-use retail component is not currently proposed for development, details for that part of the Project and for ultimate buildout of the Medical Center have not yet been prepared. The Planning Commission may recommend approval of the rezone to a Planned Development Overlay District upon finding that the Planned Development Concept Plan is consistent with the adopted Land Use Element of the General Plan (as amended) and other applicable policies of the General Plan, and is compatible with surrounding development. Site Plan Review Site Design The Medical Center is designed to integrate its state-of-the-art health care delivery into the surrounding San Leandro community with a functional and aesthetic design (see EXHIBIT H: Kaiser's "Entitlement Exhibits"). The Hospital, Hospital Support Building and Central Utility Plant are based on a Kaiser prototype hospital, with campus design standards developed and tested in other locations. Kaiser representatives indicate that site design guidelines are intended to create a positive member experience and to focus on clear vehicular and pedestrian way - finding, with the site elevated so that the building and campus design enhances the immediate neighborhood and reflects and complements the surrounding community. The first impression of the Medical Center buildings will be the various colors of the building elevations, providing a contrast with the grey metallic materials and colors of the adjacent highway, overpass, roads and parking lots, and the immediate neighborhood's light -industrial and office building setting. Access to the Medical Center buildings is provided at separate and distinct entry points, with segregated internal pathways for service trucks, ambulances, members and Kaiser Permanente staff. The circulation network is also clearly marked by Kaiser's signage program. Tall, colored and internally illuminated monument signs identify the entry points to the main entry to the Hospital, the public Emergency Department entry and the out-patient entrance to the Hospital Support Building.
