<br />SJCOG, Inc. has reviewed the application referral for the Gill Women's Medical Center, LLC, Women's Health Facility &
<br />Hospital Project - PA -1900240 (SA), PA -2000014 (ER). This project consists of a Notice of Preparation of a Draft

<br />e Types: Public Services — Essential). The proposed project includes a Development Agreement application, which is
<br />-,proved, will permit Phase 1 improvements to be constructed over five (5) years, and Phase 2 improvements to be
<br />constructed over ten (10) years.
<br />Phase 1 includes the construction of a 36,000 square foot single story women's health facility, which will provide labor,
<br />deliver, emergent medicine, and outpatient surgery center services (OSHPD-3 "Alternative Birthing Center" as designated

<br />improvements including encroachment from West Lane, parking, and private facilities for wastewater, water, and
<br />stormwater will be provided in Phase 1.
<br />Phase 2 includes the construction of a 28,000 square foot medical office building, a 140,000 square foot hospital with 100
<br />beds, an emergency heliport landing area, and a 6,000 square foot physical plant building (Level III Trauma Center

<br />ham Lane and Eight Mile Road, parking expansion, and expansion of private facilities for wastewater, water, and
<br />stormwater will also be provided with Phase 2.
<br />The project site encompasses three (3) parcels, and a Lot Line Adjustment is proposed to result in Phase 1 and Phase 2
<br />development to be located on stand-alone parcels. The project site is on the east side of West Lane, 460 feet north of

<br />Quality Act (CEQA). The LOCAL JURISDICTION retains responsibility for ensuring that the appropriate Incidental Take
<br />Minimization Measure are properly implemented and monitored and that appropriate fees are paid in compliance with the
<br />SJMSCP. Although participation in the SJMSCP is voluntary, Local Jurisdiction/Lead Agencies should be aware that if
<br />project applicants choose against participating in the SJMSCP, they will be required to provide alternative mitigation in an
<br />•ount and kind equal to that provided in the SJMSCP.

<br />SJMSCP, unmapped projects are subject to case-by-case review. This can be a 90 day process and it is recommended
<br />that the project applicant contact SJMSCP staff as early as possible. It is also recommended that the project applicant
<br />obtain an information package, http://www.sjcog,org
