HEALTH CARE SERVICES MASTER PLAN - On November 23, 2010, the Board of Supervisors adopted Ordinance No. 300-10, requiring the Department of Public Health and the Planning Department to prepare a Health Care Services Master Plan (“HCSMP”), to “provide the Health Commission, the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors with information and public policy recommendations to guide their decisions to promote the City's land use and policy goals developed in such Plan, such as distribution and access to health care services”. The Ordinance created Planning Code Sections 342 and 342.10 to create and implement the HCSMP. An informational hearing on the Draft HCSMP was held at the Health Commission on July 16, 2013. An informational hearing on the Draft HCSMP was held at the Planning Commission on July 18, 2013. Public comment on the draft Plan closed August 22, 2013. Planning Department and Department of Public Health staff will present a summary of public comments and a revised draft of the HCSMP at a special joint meeting of the San Francisco Health Commission and the San Francisco Planning Commission. At this joint meeting, each Commission will consider adopting a resolution to recommend approval of the Plan by the Board of Supervisors. The Planning Commission will also consider adopting the Negative Declaration prepared under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) for the HCSMP, and making CEQA Findings.
