City Council Staff Report January 13, 2000 A-99-6 & PD-99-6 Page 4 of 5 development. Its design will serve as an adequate barrier for noise and headlights from the parking lot to the residential properties. Medical i Ne The animal hospital's expanded service will involve the application of radioactive Iodine for therapy, Technesium for diagnostic studies, and Cobalt in a teletherapy treatment machine. Iodine is commonly used in the treatment of hyperthyroidism in cats. Technesium is used for the diagnosis of the hyperthyroidism. The Cobalt is a sealed source and is used to treat the patient's cancer. The X-rays generated from the CT scanner are generated electronically without radioactive material being present. Special shielding will be included in the building walls to prevent X-rays from exposing surrounding areas. The X-ray use and other radiation use will require a license from the State of California Department of Health, Radiological Health Branch and a Hazardous Material Business Plan (HMBP) from the City's Environmental Services Division. This facility will serve small animals (i.e., cats and dogs) where quantities and doses of radiation therapy are smaller than the facilities for persons in a hospital or medical building. Planning Commission Comments The Planning Commission expressed the importance of upgrading the appearance of the existing u easterly parking lot with some tree planting. It felt that the tree planting should be comparable to the proposed new parking lot. The neighbors to the east expressed their concern with noise from the new parking lot. Thus, the Commission recommended a condition that after completion of the new parking lot, City staff review the noise levels or complaints. If noise problems do arise, the matter would be brought back to the Planning Commission for additional conditions.
