4. Please supplement the winter solstice shading study by showing the shading across the
project site and adjacent properties (i.e. use a base map showing the project site, project
property boundaries, and adjacent development).
5. Confirm that Dignity Health is the property owner of all underlying parcels.

6. Building plans shall include Accessible route from the new parking structure to the
Accessible building or facility that they serve.
7. Per Table 11B-208.2, 244 spaces in the garage will require seven Accessible spaces
including two Van Accessible. Accessible parking shall be provided in accordance with
Table 11B-208.2. Where more than one parking facility is provided on a site, the number
of accessible spaces provided shall be calculated according to the number of spaces
required for each parking facility. 11B-208.2
8. Parking spaces and access aisles shall be designed so that persons using them are not
required to travel behind parking spaces other than to pass behind the parking space in
which they are parked. 11B-502.7.1.
9. Where EV charging stations are provided, provide Accessible charging stations in
accordance with CBC Table 11B-228.3.2.1.

10. A Transportation Impact Study (TIS) will be required for this project. City TIS Guidelines
were updated in 2015 and now include multimodal elements and analysis. Additionally,
per the TIS Guidelines, because the project generates over 100 trips in the PM peak hour
and has an original impact study that is more than two years old, a new study is required.
To move forward on a TIS, contact Jennifer Rice at jrice@slocity.org or 805-781-7058.
Comment Revised: While this particular piece of the proposal does not generate enough
trips during the PM peak hour to justify a full Transportation Impact Study, as the original
Master Plan that the 1996 Traffic Study was based on has changed overtime, a more
focused multimodal analysis of a few intersections and segments will be required. Please
contact me to move forward.

11. Label all existing sewer and water connections to the City’s Infrastructure. I believe there
are three connections to the sewer system, one for domestic, and one for a fire line service;
please review your site plan and confirm. Comment remains. Provide meter and lateral
sizes for proposed parking structure connection and show on plans the sewer lateral
connection to the City main.
12. Provide a sewer and water design narrative for pre and post construction of the proposed
project based on Section 6 and 7 of the Uniform Design Criteria listed in the 2018 Engineer
Standards (https://www.slocity.org/home/showdocument?id=19925). The proposed
modification to the site masterplan appears to exceed the sewer capacity available at the
west boundary of the site, but our projections are based on land-based assumptions and
not the proposed design (i.e. fixture counts by the plumbing engineer). Comment
remains. The calculated sewer generation rates provided exceed the capacity of the
existing 6” sewer from the project site to the intersection of Osos and Islay. Please
confirm that the calculations are correct for the existing and proposed sewer
generation rates at the new parking structure and hospital wing. Additional
improvements within the City’s collection system may be required to accommodate
these flows.
13. PA102 – Specify if parking structure trash enclosure will service the new medical
tower. If yes, modify enclosure to include organic waste. If no, show design for
garbage/recycling/organics bin enclosure with compactor (see letter from San Luis
Garbage Co.).
