The Medical Center was originally opened in 1973 and was expanded in 1975, 1981, 1989, and 1992. Providence Health System Southern California ( Providence ) purchased the Property in 2008, which was originally part of the Encino- Tarzana Regional Medical Center , and converted it to a non-profit organization.

2 Providence now seeks to construct new patient care rooms, clinical service departments, and infrastructure. Since purchasing the Medical Center , Providence has turned it into a world-class Medical facility, treating 50,000 patients annually, from approximately 1,165 ZIP codes. In 2015, 2,427 infants were delivered at the Medical Center . The Medical Center houses the San Fernando Valley Heart Institute, the Women s Pavilion, the Diabetes Care Center , and one of the largest Neonatal Intensive Care Units ( NICU ) in the San Fernando Valley. The Medical Center s specialties include cardiovascular care, orthopedics, women s services, pediatrics, NICU, and emergency.

3 The Medical Center is designated as a Pediatric Medical Center , certified to treat critically ill children transported by the 911 emergency services system. The Medical Center also offers a pharmacy residency program. It is fully accredited by the Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations. Healthgrades, a company that provides information about physicians, hospitals and health care providers, has ranked the Medical Center among the nation s top 100 hospitals for quality care two consecutive years, in both 2015 and 2016, placing the Medical Center among the top five to ten percent of all hospitals. The Medical Center has been recognized by Healthgrades as a Distinguished Hospital for Clinical Excellence three consecutive years, in 2014, 2015, and 2016.

4 Currently, the Property comprises approximately 13 acres and is improved with four buildings, eight modular buildings, a parking structure, and surface parking areas. In total, the Property includes approximately 322,942 square feet of floor area of Medical facilities. The heights of the existing buildings onsite range from approximately 15 feet-six inches to approximately 100 feet-eight inches. The Hospital is the largest building on the Property and consists of several connected areas which are referred to as the Main Building, the Ancillary Wing, the Existing Patient Building, and the Women s Pavilion. The Magnetic Resonance Imaging ( MRI ) Center is a freestanding building located north of the parking structure, along the northern portion of the Property.

5 The Tarzana Garden Plaza, which is located at the southwestern corner of the Project Site, contains Medical and dental offices and a pharmacy. The Cube Medical Office Building ( MOB ) is located south of the existing parking structure in the southern portion of the Property. The Cube MOB, which is not operated by Providence , contains Medical offices and a pharmacy. Eight modular buildings are located along the northeastern part of the Property, fronting Burbank Boulevard and the US 101 freeway entrance. The modular buildings are occupied by uses that would generally be housed in the Main Building, but due to space constraints, are in the modular buildings.

6 Building A houses the Case Management Department. Building B consists of meetings rooms and restrooms. Building C houses the Performance Improvement and Quality Departments. Building D consists of office space for Medical staff. Building E houses Providence Tarzana Medical Center Providence Tarzana Medical Center Reimagined 18321 Clark Street June 2016 Tarzana , CA 91356 General Plan Amendment Findings 2 volunteers and the Compliance and Service Excellence Departments. Building F houses the Medical Records and Pathology Departments. Building G houses the Spiritual Care Department. The final modular building, the Foundation Building, houses the Providence Tarzana Foundation offices.

7 There are also several service buildings located on the Property that contain General storage, emergency supply storage, electrical switch gear, mechanical equipment, oxygen tank storage, trash enclosures, and emergency generators. The Existing Patient Building was opened in 1973. The patient rooms are outdated and not appropriately sized. In addition, many are double and triple occupancy rooms. The Hospital s support space is antiquated, and the Property s infrastructure and central utility plant are aging. In order for the Medical Center facilities to accommodate the high standard of care provided by Providence s doctors and staff, the Project proposes upgrades and enhancements to the Hospital, including to enhance the Hospital s lobby ( Lobby Enhancement ), expand the diagnostic and treatment areas, ( D&T Expansion ), construct a new central utility plant in the basement of the D&T Expansion, and construct a new patient wing (the New Patient Wing ) and an additional parking structure ( New Parking Structure ) to continue performing a function and providing a service that is essential or beneficial to the community, city, and region.

8 Providing access to care. The New Patient Wing would provide new, improved amenities for both patients and their visitors. It would also provide all private patient rooms. The New Patient Wing will be built to current seismic standards and include leading-edge technology and the latest in efficiency for delivering care. An outdoor garden, the Healing Garden, is planned between the Walk-In Canopy of the New Patient Wing and the existing Hospital, which would offer patients, visitors, and staff a landscaped area available for respite and meditation. The Lobby Enhancement, a modernized and redesigned lobby and visitor s Center , would improve access to the Hospital by creating a central entrance and a meeting and gathering space for patients, visitors, and other guests.

9 The first floor of the Lobby Enhancement will include an entrance and lobby area for patients and visitors. The portion of the second floor above the Lobby Enhancement could accommodate an expansion of Hospital programs and operations. The D&T Expansion will expand the diagnostic and treatment areas located in the Hospital s Ancillary Wing. New landscaping and trees throughout the Property, including gardens and pathways featuring colorful foliage and flowers and shade trees, will buffer hospital uses, enhance the overall patient experience, and enhance green space in the neighborhood. To fulfill the parking needs for the entire property, the Project will also include a New Parking Structure.

10 A new landscaped and shaded paseo will provide a walkway to connect the New Parking Structure and Existing Parking Structure to the Lobby Enhancement and Hospital. In addition to providing world-class health care services, the Medical Center serves the surrounding community by offering facilities for community and group meetings in the Medical Center s auditorium and in its conference rooms. Among the groups using the facilities are the Fernando Foundation Board, National Federation of the Blind, Encino Chamber of Commerce, VICA Government Affairs, Blue Cross, Valley Pumpers Diabetes Support Group, and the United Chamber of Commerce. As part of the Project, Providence will continue to act as a community Center to the San Fernando Valley, as it has been doing for over four decades.
