BACKGROUND: The approximately 33 acre subject site currently contains St. Mary's Hospital, Medical Offices, and parking lots. In 2002, the subject site was rezoned from R-3 Single Family Residence District and 0-1 Office District to an 0-1 PUD Planned Unit Development District for a new office building and additional parking. It was then rezoned to a Planned Development (PD) in 2003 when the hospital acquired more property and requested to add more signage. The PD was then amended in 2007 to allow for emergency room directional signage on the property. An amendment occurred in September of 2008 to allow for additional acreage to be added to the west, a new sign and 245 new parking spaces. Another amendment in March of 2009 allowed for the expansion of the emergency department, admitting and lobby areas as well as additional parking spaces. The latest amendment occurred in February of 2010 to allow for temporary signage to promote the emergency room expansion until the construction project is completed. The temporary signage is to be removed when the construction project is complete or by June 30, 2012.
