The entitlements include the approval of a third amendment to a development agreement that was first approved in 1995 and amended in 1999 and 2015, and a zone change and general plan amendment to make the 19 recently acquired residential lots consistent with the zoning and general plan designations for the Mater Dei campus. First, the applicant is requesting approval of the third amendment to the development agreement. The -proposed amendment is a request to provide financial assistance for completing necessary off-site improvements associated with the parking structure project. As proposed, Mater Dei is requesting terms be added to the agreement that require the City to contribute approximately $2,000,000 toward the off-site improvements, which will include the relocation of utilities, street demolition and repairs, and the installation of a new traffic signal. To facilitate the expansion project, Mater Dei acquired 19 residential properties that were located south and east of the existing campus. Now that all parcels have been acquired, changes to the zoning and general plan designations of the parcels are needed to make the zoning and general plan designations consistent throughout the campus. This proposal includes zone changes from Single -Family Residence (R-1) to Open Space (0), and a change in the general plan designation from Low Density Residential (LR -7) to Institutional (INS).
