The recommendation supports expanding the existing hospital and moving its helistop, but the zoning approvals are still subject to the appropriate approval process. The revised plan moves the parking deck to the northwest corner of the hospital property, which the commission said would improve traffic circulation. The commission also recommended a lot line change to give the school at 340 and 342 Central Avenue more outdoor space without creating a nonconforming lot.
