Kaiser Permanente San Rafael Hospital Modernization and Replacement Project

Kaiser Permanente San Rafael Hospital Modernization and Replacement Project

Kaiser Foundation Hospitals (Kaiser Permanente), the project applicant, proposes to demolish the existing approximately 79,350-sf hospital and 19,300-sf general services building, and construct a new approximately 233,250-sf hospital. The proposed project would also involve changes to the access, circulation, and parking at the campus. The new approximately 233,250-sf, 116.5-foot-tall, six-story hospital (including basement level and rooftop penthouse) would be constructed within the footprint of the existing general services building and other campus support buildings.The proposed hospital would have 92 beds, which is 24 fewer beds than the existing hospital. The new hospital would be approximately 153,900 sf larger than the existing hospital. The proposed project would replace the existing hospital with a modern, all-electric facility equipped with advanced medical technology and designed to meet current healthcare delivery standards and the requirements of the Hospital Facilities Seismic Safety Act (Senate Bill 1953), which requires acute care hospitals to be replaced or retrofitted to meet seismic safety standards by 2030. The new hospital will be constructed under the permit jurisdiction of the California Department of Health Care Access and Information (HCAI). Net new campus building construction would total approximately 134,650 sf. The campus employee count would remain stable under the proposed project. The existing hospital would continue operating at full capacity until the new hospital building is complete and licensed to accept patients. Anticipated approvals for the proposed project include a Planned Development Rezone and approval of a development plan (including a Floor Area Ratio bonus from 0.3 to 0.395 pursuant to General Plan Policy LU-1.13), an Exception for height, and a Major Environmental and Design Review Permit.
