SUMMARY

Sharp Chula Vista Medical Center (the "Applicant") is requesting a Precise Plan (MPA) in order to increase the allowable building height from 45 feet to 120 feet within the existing hospital campus. This increase in height would allow for the construction of a new seven-story hospital tower on the existing hospital campus (the "Project"). The project site is located at 751 Medical Center Court (see Attachment 7- Locator Map).
In addition to a Precise Plan, a Design Review Permit (DR) is required for the new hospital tower, and a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) is required to allow for the expansion of the existing hospital use (see Attachment 9-Proposed Site Plan). The Project is subject to the consolidated permit processing provisions pursuant to Chula Vista Municipal Code (CVMC) Section 19.14.050 (C). Under the consolidated review process, the City Council will be reviewing and acting on the EIR, MPA, DR and CUP.
