San Francisco General Hospital Seismic Compliance, New Hospital Construction

San Francisco General Hospital Seismic Compliance, New Hospital Construction

The proposed project is the development of a new hospital on the existing campus on the west lawn of the 24-acre medical campus. The west lawn is bounded by Building 20 on the north, Building 30 on the south, the Main Hospital (Building 5) on the east and steps and landscape areas down to Potrero Avenue on the west. Access roads separate the west lawn from Building 5 and the lower landscaped area from Potrero Avenue. Buildings 20 and 30 are five-story masonry buildings constructed in 1915 and 1936 as hospital wards and are currently used for research facilities, research laboratories and offices, support services and administration such as patient billing Medic-Cal eligibility and quality management. The proposed new hospital would remain within the height limit of 105 feet permitted in the zoning district. The new approximately eight-story (including two basement levels) 419,070 square foot acute care hospital building will have approximately 284 acute care beds. The existing space in Building 5, the current hospital, would be reused for non-acute care medical purposes. The applicant has applied for a proposed rooftop medical helipad on Building 5 (Case #2003.1200E) which is undergoing separate environmental review. Should that helipad be approved, the applicant may desire to re-locate it from the current hospital to the rooftop of the new hospital once the new hospital is completed. The applicant proposes to replace the interior road network with two-cul-de-sacs. Pedestrians would continue to use the sidewalk along the internal roadway and would have access to the new hospital from 23rd street, the parking garage on 23rd Street, 22nd Street and Potrero Avenue. Patients and visitor vehicles would be directed to access the campus from 23rd. Patient and visitor drop off and pick-up would use a turnaround accessed at 23rd Street. Ambulances would access the campus from 22nd Street to a new emergency room in the northeast quadrant of the new hospital building.
