P24-0532, 5555 W. Las Positas Boulevard . Planning Commission 4 of 14 Fire Department would review and inspect the proposed East Wing addition for emergency access. The City of Pleasanton would review and inspect the non-building elements of the project, such as the site development’s grading, landscape and irrigation design, and parking lot design. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Proposed Building and Site Improvements The project proposes an approximately 66,000 square-foot three-story hospital addition with a maximum addition of a 24-bed nursing unit on the second floor referred to as the “East Wing addition” (See Figure 2: Site Plan). The building's exterior will feature a blend of brick, accent brick, exposed concrete columns, metal panels, and low-emissivity glazing, harmonizing with the existing hospital and medical office structures. Key architectural elements include a new metal canopy extending from the Emergency Department entrance to the main hospital entrance, a stair tower at the north end to define the building's massing, and a separate metal canopy sheltering five ambulance bays. Other related aspects of the project include: • Installation of emergency water and wastewater storage tanks • Rooftop mechanical penthouse and rooftop equipment screening • Partially reconfiguring the existing campus loop with corresponding pathway connectivity (e.g. sidewalks) • Provide a temporary ambulance canopy & parking area to support hospital operations during construction. The proposed project’s emergency water and wastewater storage tanks are required by the State of California. The storage tanks include one approximately 3,308 square-foot portable water storage tank located above grade within an enclosure, and three below-grade wastewater storage/holding tanks ranging in size from 10,000 to 50,000 gallons. Additionally, and as mentioned above, the project proposes site improvements consisting of adding new landscape areas (approximately 29,414 square feet), sidewalks, and circulation improvements, including reorientation of the campus loop, and modifying parking lot G (adjacent to the East Wing). The East Wing addition also proposes a two-phase approach with respect to the occupancy of the new space, tied to the availability of replacement parking. Phase 1 consists of the occupation and operation of floors one and three, with concurrent completion of the on-site improvements as noted above. During Phase 1, the second floor (including the up to 24-bed nursing unit) will be constructed as a shell space. Phase 2 involves the build-out of the second- floor shelled space, at which point the project must provide 31 parking spaces prior to operation (see the analysis section of this report for more details on parking).
