PUBLIC HEARING - Appeal of Chula Vista Community Hospital to action of Planning Commission granting conditional use permit to Bay General Hospital to enlarge existing hospital at 435 "H" Street Associate Planner Manganelli reviewed the Planning Department's comprehen- sive study of hospital parking requirements, copies of the study having been supplied to the Council. As a result of the study, it was the recommendation of the staff that off-street parking requirements be increased to 1.5 spaces per bed. This being the time and place, as advertised, for a hearing on the appeal of the Chula Vista Community Hospital to action of the Planning Commission grant- ing a conditional use permit to Bay General Hospital to enlarge existing hospital facilities at 435 "H" Street, Mayor Sylvester declared the hearing open. Mr. William F. Moody of Whittier, architect for Bay General Hospital, speaking in opposition to the appeal, stated that Bay General Hospital has met all requirements of present City ordinances and will provide the recommended one and one-half parking spaces per bed. He submitted Exhibit 1, which con- tained the signatures of fifty-four local physicians who urged the Council to grant the conditional use permit and stated that in their opinion expansion of Bay General Hospital would not jeopardize the proposed development of a hospital under a Joint Powers Agreement. Attorney Ferdinand Fletcher, representing the Chula Vista Community Hos- pital, spoke in support of the appeal. He was of the opinion that the Planning Commission had adted in excess of their authority by issuing a conditional use permit,for fifteen months instead of the six months as stipulated in the ordin- ance and urged that the matter be referred back to the Commission in order that they can hold a proper public hearing and comply with the City ordinance. Mr. Fletcher submitted Exhibits '~" through "H" for Council consideration. City Attorney Lindberg stated that the Cour~il now has an opportunity to hear all the evidence and should not refer the matter back to the Planning Com- mission. He stated that if the Council grants the conditional use permit, it must be for a period of six months from this date. Attorney Paul Pierik, representing the Bay General Hospital, speaking in opposition to the appeal, stated the management of Bay General Hospital is will- ing, if the conditional use permit is granted, to lend its support in any way possible to the future development of a hospital under a Joint powers Agreement. He stated that they would stipulate to the one and one-half parking space per bed requirement and urged the Council to affirm the action of the Planning Com- mission. Mr. W. D. Wagstaff, hospital administrator for Bay General, stated they have never received a letter from the Hospital Health Facility Planning Council denying them their request to expand. In reply to a question from Councilman Anderson, Dr. Kirk Price, Chief of Emergencies at Bay General Hospital, stated that in the new addition planned for Bay General Hospital provision will be made for 24-hour coverage for emerg- ency services. At present, eight hours a day are not covered but his office is three minutes from the hospital. Mr. Ernest Arnold, 897 Beech Avenue~ speaking in opposition to the appeal, stated additional hospital facilities are needed now and urged the Council to give due and fair consideration to the question before them at this time. No others wishing to be heard, the Mayor declared the hearing closed.
