TO: Tern Briere, President
City Council Members �/�
FROM: Alex Pietsch, Administrator p%c vt "
Economic Development, Neighborhoods,
and Strategic Planning Department
The property owner of the convalescent facility at Sunset and Edmonds requests that the City
Council consider both first and second reading of the ordinance amending the medical
institutions definitions on Feb. 28th. Cancellation of the City Council meeting last week, in
observance of President's Day, delayed introduction of this ordinance. The property owners
are waiting for the adoption date as part of the contingency on their closing and indicate that
further delay creates a hardship for them.
As this is a simple issue, with no other parties of record commenting, or other broader issues
that might need to be addressed between first and second reading, staff recommends that the
ordinance be forwarded for second reading on Monday.The item is listed on the agenda for
first reading. A City Council motion to forward the ordinance for second and final reading is
the recommended action.

Planning: MedicaLlnstitution I This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in
Definition, City Code,...) accordance with local and State laws,Mayor Keolker-Wheeler opened the
Amendment V r public hearing to consider City Code Title IV (Development Regulations)
amendments to the definition of"Medical Institution."
Alex Pietsch,Economic Development Administrator, stated that a property
owner and an interested business wanted to request a Comprehensive Plan
amendment and rezone of a property to take advantage of a particular land use
at a single location. Upon review of City Code, it was discovered that some of
the existing definitions were out of date with evolving medical industry
practices; thus a City Code amendment is being sought that will address this
matter and also be applicable Citywide.
Rebecca Lind, Planner Manager,explained that the proposed land use is for a
holistic health clinic involving non-traditional medical practitioners and a short-
term in-patient facility, with massage,non-traditional therapy, retail, and
gardens as accessory activities. She indicated that the existing zoning code
definitions of"Medical Institution," "Medical Office," "Office," and
"Convalescent Facility" were not appropriate for this use; however, the
definition "Medical Institution" most closely described the proposed activity.
Ms. Lind pointed out that "Medical Institution" includes physical or mental
health services, in-patient accommodations, medical and surgical care, and
hospitals; and excludes medical and dental offices, convalescent centers,
retirement residences, and group homes.
Ms. Lind stated that staff recommends adding a definition of"Holistic Health
Center" as a type of activity to the zoning code, and then add it into the
"Medical Institution" definition=as an included use along with hospitals. The
new definition combines a number of activities intended for the improvement or
maintenance of health, allowing both outpatient and inpatient care and various
supporting accessory activities.
Continuing,Ms. Lind explained that the proposed City Code amendment
includes the holistic health activity within the "Medical Institution" land use.
The amendment also continues the Hearing Examiner conditional use permit
for this type of land use activity in all zones. Additionally, the amendment
includes moving the hospice facility from the "Convalescent Center" definition
to the "Medical Institution" definition, and removing the term sanitarium from
the "Medical Institution"definition.

PUBLIC HEARING HANDOUT
Amendment to Title IV(Zoning Code) Definitions
Medical Institution
February 7,2005
The existing definitions of"Medical Institution,""Medical Office,"and"Convalescent Facility"
concludes exclusionary language that prohibits a mixed-use treatment facility that includes
components of all of these land uses. The property owner of the existing convalescent facility on
Sunset Blvd. is requesting consideration of a code amendment to allow a holistic health facility
that combines out-patient treatment, short-term stay, retail products, gardens, doctor's offices,
massage, and other forms of physical therapy as part of a"medical institution"use. The
"medical institution"use is allowed in all zones in the City with a Hearing Examiner Conditional
Use Permit.
Recommendation
The Planning Commission recommends adoption of the following amendments to the definition
of"Medical Institution"to incorporate "holistic health clinics"and"hospice"uses. It is further
recommended that the"hospice"language be deleted from"convalescent center." A new
definition of"holistic health clinic"is also proposed. Staff concurs in this recommendation.
Medical Institutions
A facility providing physical or mental health services, in-patient accommodations, and medical
or surgical care of the sick or injured. This includes hospitals, clinics, and sanitariums hospice,
and holistic health centers,but excludes medical and dental offices,-convalescent centers,
retirement residences, and group homes I and II.
Holistic Health Center
A combination of activities intended for improvement or maintenance of health including out-
patient and/or in-patient care and supporting accessory activities, and/or including space for
medical practitioners,retail sales, educational classrooms and meeting space.
Convalescent Centers

long-term care for chronic conditions, disabilities,terminal illness where care includes ongoing

SUMMARY OF ACTION:
A property owner desiring to re-use the former convalescent facility at 1100 Edmonds Ave NE. for a
holistic medical treatment facility approached the City. The proposed use falls between the
definitions of medical institution, medical office, and convalescent facility and includes
components of each now separate use.
To allow this use in the City, an amendment to these definitions is needed because each current
definition excludes at least a portion of the proposed activity. Staff recommends that the medical
institution definition be amended for this purpose. The amended definition would allow a mixed-
use medical institution with components of convalescent care and medical office in addition to the
traditional over-night or shorter-term care facilities.
The text amendment review process (Section 4-9-025) allows an exception to the annual docket
"bundling" of proposed code amendments, allowing "imperative" code amendments to be given a
higher priority and processed outside the normal annual review cycle.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Prioritize an amendment to the definition of"Medical Institution" for review outside the normal Title
IV docket review process and refer this issue to the Planning and Development Committee and the
Planning Commission for review and recommendation.

SUBJECT: Exception to Title IV docket review process for zoning code
amendment to the definition of"Medical Institution"
ISSUE:
The existing definitions of"Medical Institution,""Medical Office," and "Convalescent
Facility"include exclusionary language that prohibits a mixed-use treatment facility that
includes components of all of these land uses. The property owner of the existing convalescent
facility on Sunset Blvd. is requesting consideration of a code amendment to allow a holistic
health facility that combines out-patient treatment, short-term stay, retail products, gardens,
doctor's offices,massage, and other forms of physical therapy.
RECOMMENDATION:
• Amend the definition of"Medical Institution"to allow a wider range of medical practices
to occur on-site as accessory functions to the hospital, clinic, or sanitarium use.
BACKGROUND SUMMARY:
The proposed holistic clinic is an example of a non-tradition medical use that challenges the
assumptions underlying mainstream approaches to land use definitions. The activities
described in the attached brochure for the "Healing Arts Clinic" are similar to a medical office
use, however, as part of the business plan of this organization, over-night stays and a retreat
atmosphere is incorporated into the treatment program. According to the proponents,many
clients travel distances to use the facility, and at the present, need to stay in hotels. A small
short-term convalescent use is envisioned within the facility to allow clients to remain on site.

The proposed amendments to the medical institution definition would facilitate this non-
traditional medical activity,but could also be useful for mainstream"mixed-use"medical
applications, such as cancer care facilities where patients need a place to stay for treatment.
The proposed definition would retain the hospital, clinic, or sanitarium as the primary activity,
but allow a combination of medical offices, convalescent, and other activities, such as retail as
accessory functions.
CONCLUSION:
An amendment to existing definitions to allow a response to evolving medical institutions is
supported to allow innovative uses and activities in the City.
