St. Luke development meeting tonight

Councilman Steve Haderlein is trying to get the word out about tonight's meeting by Beverly Hills developer DS Ventures, which will feature a discussion of future plans for the former St. Luke Medical Center campus.

Haderlein said he only found out about the meeting after receiving an e-mail from a resident. The developer has apparently advertised the gathering by distributing door hangers among neighboring residences.

"Due to the significance of the project, the Vice Mayor encourages all interested in the developer’s plans to attend the meeting this Wednesday evening," wrote Haderlein's field representative, Rhonda Stone, in an e-mail.

Nat Reed, a representative for the developer, said in a letter that tentative plans call for using the site for senior housing and medical offices. Meetings have also been held with representatives of the Pasadena Health Department and Huntington Hospital about the possibility of incorporating an urgent care center into the development plans.

The meeting will be held at 6 p.m. at St. Luke, 2632 E Washington Blvd. in northeast Pasadena.
