23843 1. Closed Record Hearing to Consider an Ordinance Amending the Cornwall Park p. 3
Neighborhood Area 7 Institutional Master Plan
Blake Lyon, Planning and Community Development Director, and Steve Sundin, Senior Planner,
introduced the ordinance amending the Cornwall Park Area 7 Master Plan. On July 15, 2022, Peace
Health submitted application materials for an amendment to the 2006 Cornwall Park
Neighborhood Area 7 Institutional Master Plan (IMP) that guides the development of the Peace
Health medical campus and surrounding area. The proposed amendments include a revised
campus development and circulation plan, an updated phasing schedule that includes a new West
Pavilion with a rooftop helipad, additions to and remodels of existing medical buildings and
facilities, future development of a new medical office building and new parking garage on the
PeaceHealth campus east of Ellis Street, and upgrades to support facilities and safety
improvements at the existing ground helipad.
The Planning Commission reviewed the application and received testimony at a public hearing on
July 6, 2023. The Commission held a follow-up work session on August 3, 2023, during which it
recommended approval of the application to amend the IMP, subject to additional changes to the
plan that were proposed by staff.
Lisa Anderson / Hollie Huthman moved the ordinance amending the Cornwall Park Neighborhood
Area 7 Institutional Master Plan for first and second reading.
