Title

Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital Modernization and Seismic Compliance Plan

Description

The project involves the seismic upgrade and modernization of the existing Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital (SBCH) facility to comply with State Senate Bill 1953. The project will involve the demolition of 283,263 sq ft and the construction of approximately 472,450 sq ft of new hospital facilities, consisting of a main hospital building, helipad and Central Plant. When completed, the overall square footage of the hospital project area would be approximately 712,550 sq ft. Two multi-level parking structures and a three-structure child care center are also proposed. A one block segment of Castillo Street between Pueblo and Junipero Street would be closed to allow for the construction of the new hospital facility. The project would be completed in phases through the year 2013. SBCH proposes the establishment of a new Hospital Area Zone Specific Plan (SP-8), which will specify allowable land uses and development standards for the hospital project. The Specific Plan would become the zoning designation for the project area. A Development Agreement is also proposed to address the non-residential floor area allocations per Charter 1508, project construction phasing, provide for periodic review of the project and applicable conditions, and to allow modifications, if necessary. It would also provide for consistency with development and environmental conditions, compliance with the mandates of the Alquist Seismic Safety Act, and ensure that the project is carried out in a timely manner.
