at-risk processing in order to continue processing the requested entitlements while private
negotiations continue. If this is agreeable, we request that Dignity Health’s legal counsel please
contact the City Attorney’s Office for additional information and procedures regarding the

documentation of their ownership of the property, or other similar documentation allowing for

2. Comment remains: Pursuant to the City’s Tree Ordinance, and updated procedures for tree
removal requests associated with major development review entitlements, the project will require
review by the Tree Committee. The Committee will provide a recommendation to the Planning
Commission. The following additional information is required:
a. An arborist report that identifies and discusses each tree within the development footprint
(including, but not limited to, structural development, grading, staging areas, ground cover
removal, changes in drainage patterns, and associated off-site improvements) including
those trees proposed for removal and those trees that will remain.
b. A site plan that includes accurate drip line delineation and cross sections of construction
work impacting both trees proposed for removal and trees planned to remain (some of this
information is shown on the revised plan sheets; please provide requested supplemental
information).
