Project Title: Kaiser Permanente San Leandro Medical Center/Marina Point Mixed-Use Development 2. Lead Agency Name and Address: City of San Leandro Community Development Department Planning Services Division 835 East 14th Street San Leandro, CA 94577 3. Contact Person and Phone Number: Kathleen Livermore, AICP, Planning Manager (510) 577-3350 4. Project Location: The proposed project encompasses a 65-acre site situated in the west central area of the City of San Leandro in Alameda County (see Figure 1). The project area is bounded by the Interstate 880 (I-880) freeway right-of-way to the east, Marina Boulevard to the north, Merced Street to the West, and Fairway Drive to the South. 5. Project Sponsor’s Name and Address: N. Mick Meldrum, Jr. ICI Development Company 2222 East 17th Street Santa Ana, CA 92705 Nora R. Klebow Kaiser Foundation Hospitals 1100 San Leandro Boulevard, Suite 200 San Leandro, CA 94577 6. General Plan Designation: General Industrial 7. Zoning: IG(S)-Industrial General Project Description: The City of San Leandro, Kaiser Foundation Hospitals (Kaiser), and ICI Development Company (ICI), are undertaking review of a significant project to be located on a 65-acre site near I-880 and Marina Boulevard. The northern approximately 30 acres of the site would be developed with a 387,000-square foot retail project (consisting of large format stores, multi-tenant retail uses, restaurants, soft goods, and service-oriented retailers) and a mixed-use residential project (consisting of up to 250 one- and two-bedroom apartments and 25,000 square feet of retail uses). The southern approximately 35 acres of the site would include up to 865,000 square feet of medical uses to be developed by Kaiser. The medical uses to be developed by Kaiser would include a 434,000-square foot, six-story, 262-bed hospital; a 400,000-square foot, six-story hospital support building; a 35,000- square foot central utility plant; a 20,000-square foot outdoor service yard; and parking necessary to meet projected demand, estimated to be no more than 2,510 stalls. Parking facilities could include surface parking and an additional 800-stall, five-story parking structure. Kaiser Permanente San Leandro Medical Center/Marina Point Mixed-use Development Project Initial Study Page 1 P:\Projects - All Employees\D40000.00+\D41268.00 ICI San Leandro\Initial Study\Kaiser San Leandro Medical Center-Marina Point IS.DOC The project will also include the following roadway improvements: the widening of Merced Street to the east along the project site frontage; an eastern extension of Republic Avenue into the project site and the signalization of the Republic Avenue/Merced Street intersection; and a new signalized intersection at the main entrance to the proposed mixed-use development site along Merced Street. The project site is currently owned by Kaiser and is occupied by the former Albertson’s supermarkets distribution and maintenance center and various warehouse distribution and industrial uses. Prior to the submittal of this application, Kaiser had submitted a separate application to the City of San Leandro for the demolition and grading of all structures on the Kaiser site. Therefore, for the purposes of this analysis, it is assumed that the Kaiser portion of the project site will be cleared of structures and rough graded prior to or concurrently with the approval of the project. Potential development of the site with the ICI development and the medical uses would require the creation of a new General Plan land use designation and zoning district. Affected Assessor’s Parcel Numbers include: 077A-0647-001-38; 077A-0647-001-37; 077A-0647-001- 36; 077A-0647-001-35; 077A-0647-001-34; 077A-0647-001-27; 077A-0647-009-27; 077A-0647-009- 32; 077A-0647-009-35; 077A-0647-009-37; 077A-0647-009-42; 077A-0647-009-45; and portions of 077A-0647-012-01; 077A-0647-012-02; 077A-0647-012-03. 8. Surrounding Land Uses and Setting: The project area is bounded by the I-880 freeway right-of-way to the east, Marina Boulevard to the north, Merced Street to the West, and Fairway Drive to the South. The site is served by the Marina Boulevard and the Davis Street interchanges with I-880. The land uses immediately surrounding the project site are primarily industrial and commercial. Land uses east of I-880 include residential; a commercial shopping center; and the San Leandro Ball Park and Pacific Recreation Complex. Residential land uses are also present further west and further south of the project site. 9.

AESTHETICS– Would the project: a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic 1, 2 vista? b) Substantially damage scenic resources, 1, 2, 3, 4 including, but not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings within a state scenic highway? c) Substantially degrade the existing visual 1, 2 character or quality of the site and its surroundings? d) Create a new source of substantial light or 1, 2 glare which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area? Discussion a-b) The proposed project site is in a relatively flat area of northwest San Leandro. The surrounding area is characterized by one- and two-story concrete warehouses. Most buildings extend to the sidewalk. However, there are periodic breaks in the street façade due to the presence of surface parking lots. There is limited natural landscaping in the project vicinity. A small cluster of mature trees is on the northeast edge of the project site near I-880 as well as limited ornamental landscaping in the form of mature trees surrounding buildings and parking lots. The project site is visible from I-880 on the east and areas immediately east of I-880, as well as from surrounding roadways and adjacent development. Distant views to and from the project site are limited due the flat topography and the presence of buildings. However, the East Bay Hills are visible from some areas of the project site. There are no designated scenic vistas or scenic resources on or adjacent to the project area. I-880 is not a designated state scenic highway in the project vicinity. Accordingly, the proposed project would have no impact on scenic resources nor damage scenic resources within a state scenic highway. c) The proposed project could change the visual character and quality of the project site. The proposed development of the project site would introduce more intensive uses, thereby introducing visual elements and features that could contrast with the existing visual landscape creating a potentially significant impact. Accordingly, the EIR will discuss the visual effects of the proposed project on existing development in the project vicinity. This discussion will include the creation of visual simulations. d) Existing lighting in the vicinity of the project site is characterized by low-intensity security and safety lighting along walkways, within parking lots, and at building entrances. Although no lighting plans have been created for the proposed project, development at the project site would include nighttime and security lighting characteristic of existing development. However, the new buildings may involve lighting designs or construction materials that could increase potential light and glare impacts for neighboring uses and motorists. This could be considered a potentially significant impact. Therefore, the EIR will discuss potential light and glare impacts associated with the proposed project.

  • 2017/2018 Annual Report
    2017/2018 ANNUAL REPORT 2018 Annual Report 092718.indd 1 10/1/18 10:02 AM The 2017 – 2018 fiscal year has proven to be Oakland Parks and Recreation Foundation’s most productive to-date. Though the effective leadership of our Executive Director, Ken Lupoff, as well as the tireless work of our board members, the Foundation hit some major milestones this past year. One of our major accomplishments was with our 15th Annual A Taste of Spring in April. Through diligent work and effective planning, we were able to not only hold the event at the Oakland Museum of California for the first time, but also produced record net revenue for our signature event. It proved to be a special evening with a room full of great energy. We sincerely thank all who were able to join us at this year’s A Taste of Spring and we appreciate the generosity of our attendees. As the Foundation is always working on creative ways to fundraise, we recently started holding private house parties which are designed to introduce Oakland Parks and Recreation Foundation to potential new supporters. This new venture has been a true success, and we are currently planning our next party as well as others over the course of the next year. On the volunteerism front, we have really stepped up our game! Led by our Vice President and Volunteerism Committee Chair, Liz Westbrook, our volunteer work has grown in scope over the past year, as we now typically conduct three to four solid work days per year.

  • The Story of Dr. Sidney R. Ga R Field
    GarfieldCoverFINAL.pdf 3/17/09 9:48:53 AM How one physician’s revolutionary vision paved the way from a 12-bed hospital in the Mojave Desert at the height of the Great Depression to what is today the nation’s largest, most successful THE STORY OF nonprot health care organization — Kaiser Permanente. Like the architect he always wanted to be, physician Sidney R. Gareld spent most of his life designing and building a model of a new kind of health care. Built on the foundations of group practice (as opposed to solo practice), prepayment (as opposed to fee-for-service), and prevention and health promotion (as opposed to sick care only), it was in many ways the opposite, mirror-image of the way health care was nanced and delivered in the rest of America. In partnership with Henry J. Kaiser, one of the great industrialists of the early 20th century, Gareld stood rm against waves of early opposition from mainstream medicine and went on DR. SIDNEY R. GA to build one of the most acclaimed and successful health care organizations in America. This book tells the story of Dr. Sidney Gareld’s long and eventful career in turning his desert dream into a thriving and enduring reality that continues to oer a practical model for the future of American health care. C M Words from Permanente Medical Leaders Y CM Thank you for the advance copy of your new Dr. Gareld was a remarkable man and this R MY book on Dr. Gareld. I could not stop reading book does an excellent job of chronicling his FIELD CY it until I had nished it all.

  • C. Air Quality
    IV. Environmental Setting, Impacts and Mitigation Measures C. Air Quality This section discusses the potential impacts of the implementation of the Kaiser Permanente OMC Project on the local and regional air quality. As necessary, appropriate standard conditions of approval are also identified and discussed. Setting Regulatory Framework EPA is responsible for implementing the programs established under the federal Clean Air Act, such as establishing and reviewing the federal ambient air quality standards and judging the adequacy of State Implementation Plans (SIP). However, the EPA has delegated the authority to implement many of the federal programs to the states while retaining an oversight role to ensure that the programs continue to be implemented. In California, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) is responsible for establishing and reviewing the state ambient air quality standards, developing and managing the California SIP, securing approval of this plan from U.S. EPA, and identifying TACs. (A notable exception exists for radioactive air contaminants as the EPA has retained its authority to enforce NESHAP requirements.) CARB also regulates mobile emissions sources in California, such as construction equipment, trucks, and automobiles, and oversees the activities of air quality management districts, which are organized at the county or regional level. An air quality management district is primarily responsible for regulating stationary emissions sources at facilities within its geographic areas and for preparing the air quality plans that are required under the federal Clean Air Act and California Clean Air Act. The Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) is the regional agency with regulatory authority over emission sources in the Bay Area, which includes all of San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, and Napa counties and the southern half of Sonoma and southwestern half of Solano counties.
