Neighborhood council to study hospital expansion


Providence Holy Cross Medical Center's proposed 101-bed patient care building is being studied by the Pacoima Neighborhood Council's Land Use Committee.

The committee has 30 days to study the environmental impact report before the Pacoima Neighborhood Council votes to support the project.

From the hospital's press release:

The action is a major change in position for the Pacoima Neighborhood Council, which voted last year to support the medical center’s project only if a full environmental impact report (EIR) was prepared. Since that time, the medical center has completed more exhaustive environmental studies, with mitigation measures put in place to assure the project will cause less-than-significant impacts to the traffic, parking, air quality and other environmental aspects of the construction.
