  B.  PUBLIC HEARING: LAS ENCINAS HOSPITAL MASTER PLAN
       AMENDMENT AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT, 2900 EAST DEL
       MAR BOULEVARD
       Recommendation of City Manager: Following a public hearing, it is
       recommended that the City Council:
       (1) Adopt a resolution certifying the Final Environmental Impact Report,
       making environmental findings, and adopting the Mitigation Monitoring and
       Reporting Program;
       (2) Acknowledge that the preliminary landscape plan and urban forestry
       plan calls for the retention of 542 unprotected trees and 214 protected trees
       and the planting of 174 new trees.  Approve private tree removal permits for
       the 45 protected trees based on a public benefit finding (Attachment 4 to the
       agenda report);
       (3) Approve the proposed Las Encinas Hospital Master Plan Amendment
       subject to the conditions of approval (Attachment 2 to the agenda report); and
       (4) Direct staff to return in 90 days with 1) a resolution for adoption of the
       approved master plan, and 2) a master plan document revised in order to
       reflect the adopted conditions of approval (Attachment 2 to the agenda
       report).
       Recommendation of Planning Commission: The Planning Commission
       reviewed this item on September 9, 2009 and recommended approval of
       staff's recommendation with changes to the conditions of approval.  The
       Planning Commission's suggested changes are shown by bolded and
       italicized text in the recommended conditions of approval. 
           The Commission expressed concern that the applicant would remove
       trees and then not provide the new hospital building, on of the stated public
       benefits.  To address this, the Commission recommended a revision to
       Condition No. 74 requiring the applicant to pay a deposit for the full value of
       each protected tree proposed for removal prior to its elimination.  
           Staff concurs with all the Commission's recommended changes except
       the proposed change to Condition No. 74.   Staff's version of Condition No.
       74 works in conjunction with Condition No. 73, requiring the applicant to
       make progress toward constructing the main hospital building.  The
       Commission would review the applicant's progress at its three, five, seven,
       and ten year review.  If the Commission finds that the applicant is not making
       progress, then it can levy a fee equal to the value of each tree.  In addition,
       staff believes that the applicant is showing a strong commitment to
       constructing and operating a psychiatric hospital.  This is demonstrated in the
       form of:
              construction of nearly 20% of the proposed new beds in the first
               phase (Building No. 33)
              construction of a 103 car parking structure for the hospital two
               phases prior to construction of the main hospital building; and
              agreeing to continually operate 128 psychiatric hospital beds on
               campus during construction.  
           In addition to the commitments listed above, it is important to note that
       the applicant is providing additional public benefits beyond the construction of
       the hospital building and use, most notably preservation and relocation of
       four historic structures previously proposed for demolition and applying for
       National Register status.  
       Review by Design and Historic Preservation Commissions:  The Design
       and Historic Preservation Commissions reviewed the proposed master plan
       amendment on July 27 and August 3, 2009, respectively.  The Commissions
       received the plan favorably and commended the applicant and staff's work. 
       Recommendations on the project include landmarking three additional trees
       (two Coast Live Oaks and an Australian Tea Tree), providing the applicant
       and the Commissions flexibility in designing the Hospital (Building No. 35)
       and the detached independent living units (Building No. 36), and including a
       historic preservation architect on the design team.  Staff and the applicant
       agree with the Commissions' recommendations and have included them as
       Conditions Nos. 61-70.  Attachment 5 to the agenda report includes a
       memorandum detailing the Commissions' recommendations.
