Document Description
The Project consists of a proposed Master Plan and Phase I development activities for the RUHS Medical Center. Phase I includes expansion of the Emergency Department, construction of a new Wellness Center, and construction of a new Medical Office Building. The Master Plan addresses Phase I as well a conceptual plan for Future Phases to guide development activities on the approximate 80-acre RUHS Medical Center campus through approximately 2055 (herein, “Future Phases”). Construction and operational activities associated with Phase I will be evaluated at a project level of detail in the EIR in conformance with CEQA Guidelines § 15161. The Emergency Department Expansion (EDE) is proposed northeast of and abutting the existing Emergency Department building and is designed to consist of a one-story building with approximately 65,000 square feet (s.f.) of floor space that would accommodate 56 new treatment bays. The Wellness Center (WC) building is proposed to the west of the existing Medical Center buildings and is designed as a two-story building with approximately 150,000 s.f. of floor space that would accommodate approximately 100 beds; a wellness park is proposed to the south of the WC building. The Medical Office Building (MOB) is proposed north of Cactus Avenue and southwest of the existing Medical Center buildings and is designed to consist of a two-story, approximately 75,000 s.f. building that would provide outpatient services. Other improvements associated with the three proposed buildings would include the following: a) constructing and reconfiguring surface parking areas; b) installing the westerly extension of Brodiaea Avenue along the site’s northern property boundary; c) installing new driveways connecting with Cactus Avenue and the Brodiaea Avenue extension; d) adding one helicopter pad northwest of the existing Emergency Department building near the existing helicopter pad; e) installing site drainage, water, sewer, and dry utility improvements; and f) installing lighting, signage, and landscaping. The proposed Master Plan will guide Future Phases of development at the RUHS Medical Center campus through at least 2055. The Master Plan is a conceptual long-range plan that will be evaluated at a programmatic level in the EIR in conformance with CEQA Guidelines § 15168. In addition to the Phase I proposed EDE, WC, and MOB, the Master Plan contemplates that that Future Phases of development will include an additional six buildings four parking structures. The six new buildings are planned to include a one-story inpatient medical care facility building with 90,000 s.f. of floor area, a 3-story inpatient medical care facility with 168,000 s.f. of floor area, and four 2- to 3-story medical office buildings with a combined floor area of 343,000 s.f. The four new parking structures would consist of 2- to 3-story structures and would accommodate approximately 3,154 parking spaces.
