The approximately 33 acre subject site currently contains St. Mary's Hospital, Medical <br /> Offices, and parking lots. <br /> 2. In 2002, the subject site was rezoned from R-3 Single Family Residence District and O-1 <br /> Office District to an O-1 PUD Planned Unit Development District for a new office building <br /> and additional parking. It was then rezoned to a Planned Development (PD) in 2003 when <br /> the hospital acquired more property and requested to add more signage. The PD was then <br /> amended in 2007 to allow for emergency room directional signage on the property. The <br /> latest amendment occurred in September of 2008 to allow for additional acreage to be added <br /> to the west, a new sign and 245 new parking spaces. <br /> PROJECT DESCRIPTION <br /> 1. The subject petition requests that the PD be amended to allow for the expansion of the <br /> emergency department, admitting and lobby areas as well as additional parking spaces. <br /> 2. The expansion will stand two (2) stories and approximately 23.5 feet tall. The elevator tower <br /> will stand 99 feet tall so that, a future building expansion may be constructed that will allow <br /> for a total of seven (7) stories standing approximately 80 feet tall. The possible future <br /> expansion is equal to the existing seven (7) stories of the current structure. <br />
