PUBLIC HEARINGS
1. GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT - 1575 BISHOP STREET (File No. 463)
' Council held a public hearing to A) consider amending the Land Use Element Map
and Zoning Map to change the designation for GP /R 1422 from low- density,
residential (R -1) to public facility, special considerations (PF -S) for 1575
Bishop Street, adjacent to General Hospital; and, B) initiate SP overlay on
all county -owned property around General Hospital (continued from 5/16/89 and
11/21/89).
Randy Rossi, Interim Community Development Director, briefly reviewed the
agenda report (please see File No. 463) and urged that Council approve the
original staff recommendation outlined in the staff report. This would refer
the project to the Planning Commission for a use permit, to the Architectural
Review Commission for design review of the Recovery Care Center, and a
rezoning initiated for SP overlay on all County owned property (this would be
referred to the Planning Commission and returned to City Council for
adoption).
Mayor Dunin declared the public hearing open.
G1enaDeane Dovev, representing the League of Women Voters, read a.letter into
the record, stating that the proposal would change the General Plan in the
midst of current efforts to update it, which she felt was unwise and
premature. The League of Women Voters had no-position on the merits of
building a recovery care center as part of the hospital complex, nor any
problem with the center being developed by the private sector. The City
proposal to require the SP overlay on the entire piece of County -owned
property was encouraged, but any zone change should come after the Specific
Plan is approved by the City and the County. She urged denial of the request
