ST. HELENA HOSPITAL WOODSIDE SUBDIVISION / ST. HELENA HOSPITAL - USE PERMIT, TENTATIVE MAP & REZONING (P07-00855-UP, P07-00856-TM, P07-00857-RZG) 
CEQA Status:
Negative Declaration has been prepared. According to the proposed Negative Declaration, the proposed project would have no potentially significant environmental impacts. The project site is not on any of the the lists of hazardous waste sites enumerated under Government Code Section 65962.5
Request: Approval of a tentative map to create individual parcels for 25 existing single-family homes owned by the St Helena Hospital, the St. Helena Hospital and Health Center, or the Northern California Conference of 7th Day Adventists, hereafter referred to as St. Helena Hospital. The request also includes adoption of an ordinance rezoning properties owned by the St. Helena Hospital, identified below, from Residential Single: Building Site Combination District – 5-acre minimum (RS:B-5) to Planned Development (PD) consistent with other property owned by the Hospital. A Use Permit is also requested to allow the future construction of additions or buildings accessory to the existing homes in the PD district without going through the use permit process each time as is currently required by County Code. The Use Permit would also allow 11 structures on the hospital campus to be considered “flex space” that would allow residential uses, administrative offices or clinical/hospital related uses. No new development or the creation of new developable lots is included in this proposal. The tentative map would involve subdividing 10 lots into 31 lots. Three of the 10 lots are currently zoned RS:B-5 and the remaining 7 are zoned PD. Twenty-Five (25) of the new lots would be created for existing homes. Two (2) lots would include the main hospital campus and associated buildings and improvements. One (1) lot would include existing apartment buildings. The remaining three (3) lots would remain as open space. The approximately 92 acre project area is located between Sanitarium Road and Deer Park Road approximately 2.5 to 3.0 miles northeast of the City of St. Helena within the RS:B-5 (Residential Single: Building Site Combination) and PD (Planned Development) zoning districts.  (Assessor’s Parcel numbers: 021-110-015*; 021-140-001*, 003*, 005*; 021-150-001*, 002*, 007*; 021-171-001, 002, 003, 004, 005, 006, 007, 008, 120, 130; 021-181-001, 002, 005, 007, 009, 010; 021-172-004; and, 021-400-011) Deer Park.
