Hollister City Manager FROM: Luke Sims, Communit Development Directo ~w BY: Kathleen Livermor~amm~g Manager and Sally Barros, Senior Planner SUBJECT PROJECT/P'ROJECT DESCRIPTION: MATTER OF A WORKSESSION TO REVIEW THE PROPOSED PLAN FOR THE KAISER PERMANENTE MEDICAL CENTER PROJECT SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION This report is for information only, and no action is required. The purpose of this work session is to allow Council to review the proposed plans for the San Leandro Kaiser Medical Center and the associated mixed-use retail development center, and to take public comment. BACKGROUND Kaiser Foundation Hospitals (Kaiser) has been working with the City of San Leandro for several years to develop a 63-acre parcel of property, formerly the site of an Albertson's distribution center, located off Marina Boulevard just west of Interstate 880. Kaiser purchased this property in November 2005. The original application for this project was filed in 2006 by Kaiser and their development partner, ICI Development Company (ICI). On September 18, 2006, the San Leandro City Council approved a Contractual Services Agreement with EIP, a Division of Post, Buckley, Schuh & Jernigan, Inc. (PBS&J) to prepare the EIR. That original application proposed to develop the southern half of the property as a medical center and the northern half as a mixed use, primarily retail development. In early 2007, Kaiser Permanente put their application on pause and ICI Development Company moved forward with a revised project description and another Contractual Services Agreement was approved by the City Council on July 30, 2007. In July 2007 the City Council approved a contract for preparation of an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) to assess the impacts related to the retail development on a project level, with the Kaiser medical center evaluated programmatically, as then proposed by ICI.
