Project Information

Description

The project proposal, Lillian Commons (also referred to as Juan Hernandez - MH Medical Properties), includes a request for a General Plan Amendment (GPA2019-0005), Zoning Amendment and Planned Development Master Plan (ZA2019-0016), and Tentative Parcel Map (SD2019-0007). Development of the site would include construction of the following: a 4,500 square-foot urgent care facility; a 10,000 square-foot medical building; a 100,000-square-foot medical office/hospital with 55 beds; a three-story parking garage with 500 spaces; a 10,000 square foot commercial retail/restaurant building; and a maximum 200-unit multi-family residential development.

An application for a General Plan Text Amendment (GPA2023-0002) and Zoning Amendment (AAE2022-0008) has been received by the City for the Rosewood/Morgan Hill Medical Campus Project. The General Plan Text Amendment is to amend the Mix Use Flex designation to exempt medical uses, including hospitals, from floor area ratio (FAR) requirements with an approved Planned Development (PD) Combining District and PD Master Plan. The City of Morgan Hill has since adopted Resolution 25-003 on February 19, 2025, amending the General Plan to eliminate FAR requirements for the MU-F land use designation across the entire City. Therefore, the project’s General Plan Text Amendment request is no longer applicable. However, the FAR exemption will still be reflected in the PD Master Plan Amendment request.

The Zoning Amendment (AAE2022-0008) is a request to increase the allowable medical/commercial square footage to a total of 275,000 square feet and allow building heights of up to 65 feet tall. The proposed project would result in a net increase of 150,500 sf of medical/commercial uses relative to the originally approved project. After accounting for the existing 15,900 sf of medical office use that would be demolished, the total net increase would be 133,600 sf.  As a result of the increased square footage, the building coverage and FAR standards will also change. The maximum allowed building coverage will increase from 50 percent to 60 percent and FAR will be removed entirely from PD Master Plan development standards. The maximum building height for the medical office buildings would be increased as part of the PD Master Plan Amendment, from 55 feet to 65 feet. The proposed project is proposing development of a six-story, 65-foot-tall structure. Lastly, the required parking for “Medical Office” uses will change from one space per 200 sf of net floor area to one space per 250 sf of net floor area. The proposed PD Master Plan Amendment would also add assisted living facilities as a permitted use and change daycare facilities, farmers markets, residential care facilities, and skilled nursing facilities from conditionally permitted to permitted uses.

Environmental Review and Documents

The City of Morgan Hill has prepared a Final Subsequent Environmental Impact Report for a proposed Planned Development Master Plan Amendment for a project filed under applications AAE2022-0008 and EA2022-0011 (the Rosewood/Morgan Hill Medical Campus project). 

The Rosewood/Morgan Hill Medical Campus Final SEIR and associated documents are available for review: 

In addition, the 2020 IS/MND is available on the City’s website at: https://www.morganhill.ca.gov/2318/Rosewood-Lillian-Commons-Residential

The purpose of an Environmental Impact Report is to inform decision-makers and the general public of the environmental impacts of a proposed project that an agency (in this case, the City of Morgan Hill) may implement or approve. The EIR process is intended to: (1) provide information sufficient to evaluate a project and its potential for significant impacts on the environment; (2) examine methods (e.g., project-specific mitigations, uniformly applied development regulations) for avoiding or reducing significant impacts; and (3) consider alternatives to the proposed project.
