ProjeCt DescRIPTION

The project applicant proposes to demolish the existing 250,000-square foot (sf) hospital and construct a new 685,000-sf hospital (including basement), a new central utility plant (energy center), and a parking structure at their San José Medical Center campus (“SJMC campus” or “campus”). The existing hospital would continue to function at full capacity while the new hospital is under construction. Projected future campus improvements would include demolition of two one-story medical offices (both approximately 10,100 sf) and construction of a 250,000-sf outpatient facility and a parking garage. As part of the proposed project, the project applicant is seeking a revised Planned Development (PD) zoning and PD permit.
