Draft EIR for the BCHD Healthy Living Campus Master Plan

Draft EIR for the BCHD Healthy Living Campus Master Plan

The proposed Project – including the Phase 1 preliminary site development plan and the Phase 2 development program – would redevelop the existing BCHD campus located at 514 North Prospect Avenue as well as the adjacent vacant Flagler Lot located at the intersection of Flagler Lane & Beryl Street. The majority of the Project site is located within Redondo Beach; however, the eastern edge of the campus is partially located within City of Torrance right-of-way along Flagler Lane and Flagler Alley. The implementation of the BCHD Healthy Living Campus Master Plan would occur over two phases separated by a period of 5 years. Construction activities associated with Phase 1 could begin as soon as Spring 2022 and last for a period of approximately 29 months through 2024. Phase 1 would include the development of a 203,700-square-foot (sf) Residential Care for the Elderly (RCFE) Building with 157 Assisted Living units, 60 relocated Memory Care units, 14,000 sf of space programmed for the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE), 6,270 sf programmed for BCHD’s Community Services, and 9,100 sf for the Youth Wellness Center. Following the completion of the initial construction and the relocation of existing uses to the new RCFE Building, the 5-story Beach Cities Health Center and the attached maintenance building would be demolished. The timing of the Phase 2 development program would be dependent upon funding considerations and the completion of final design work; however, for the purposes of the Draft EIR, it is assumed that the 28-month construction period could begin in 2029, approximately 5 years after the completion of Phase 1. The Phase 2 development program would begin with the demolition of the surface parking lot constructed during Phase 1 as well as the demolition of the existing parking structure located at 512 North Prospect Avenue. New development under Phase 2 would include 37,150 sf for the proposed Wellness Pavilion, 31,300 sf for the proposed Aquatics Center, and 20,000 sf for the proposed Center for Health and Fitness. Additionally, Phase 1 would include a parking structure providing up to 292,500 sf of space distributed over up to 2 subterranean levels and 8.5 above ground levels.
