HOSPITAL CAMPUS ZONING
HEIGHT LIMIT FOR PARKING STRUCTURES
(0210-80/#628)
City Manager Bowersox presented the staff report. On Noyember 29,2005, the City Council
opened a public hearing introducing Ordinance No. 628. All Councilmembers were present at
the first reading. Public testimony was receiyed from two people at that time.
This is a request for approval of Phase I of a 2-phase expansion project. Phase I involves an
attached addition of a 5-story, 172,000-square-foot building to the existing hospital; a 1,200-
space, 3-story parking structure; and miscellaneous on- and off-site improvements. Approyal
for Phase II, which consists of an additional attached 5-story building and other hospital
additions totaling approximately 185,000 square feet in area, will be requested at a future
date. The proposed 32-foot-tall parking structure would comply with the 35-foot height limit;
however, since the parking structure would have a 3rd level parking on the roof, the rooftop
parking area would not comply with the General Plan.
Therefore, a Zoning Ordinance Amendment is being requested by the Hospital to amend
Section 17.21.050.H of the Poway Municipal Code permitting a 3-story parking structure to
accommodate the on-site parking needs of the expanded Hospital.

In addition, the amendment also redefines the term "lot coverage" for master planned
commercial, industrial, or institutional projects that may encompass multiple lots.
Mike Shanahan, Director of Facilities for Palomar/Pomerado Health, thanked staff for the
assistance on this project.
Motion by Councilmember Higginson and seconded by Councilmember Emery to close the
public hearing, waive further reading of the ordinance, adopt Ordinance No. 628 entitled "An
Ordinance of the City of Poway, California, Approving Zoning Ordinance Amendment (ZOA)
05-05 Amending Poway Municipal Code Chapter 17.21 (Hospital Campus) Pertaining to the
Maximum Allowable Stories Permitted for Parking Structures and Chapter 17.04 (Definitions)
