SCHINDLER, DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT REVIEWED BY: WILLIAM E. DAVIS, CITY PLANNER PREPARED BY: DAVID BLUMENTHAL, PRINCIPAL PLANNER SUBJECT: BIOMEDICAL OVERLAY ZONE STUDY BACKGROUND One of the fastest growing job sectors is the bio-medical industry. This not only includes medical offices and care facilities, but also includes all the necessary support industries (manufacturing, research and development, education, pharmaceutical, etc.). In order to capitalize on Downey’s centralized location in the region and the three existing hospitals, the Mayor and City Council have made it a goal to attract new biomedical businesses to the City. As such, City staff was directed to procure the services of an outside consultant to prepare a biomedical overlay zone that enhance the existing Zoning Code and provide a catalyst to increasing biomedical businesses in Downey In April 2016, the City issued a RFP to elicit proposals from professional planning firms for the aforementioned services. At the conclusion of the competitive process, the City Council approved a professional service agreement with Civic Solutions to study and prepare the necessary code amendments to achieve the Council’s goal. Civic Solutions scope of work includes a five-phase work plan. Phase 1 is the project initiation and coordination. Phase 2 is research of bio-medical land use. This will included interviewing hospitals, universities, and other bio-medical facilities to determine growth needs and facility requirements. Phase 3 is an evaluation of the Downey’s existing Hospital-Medical Arts (H-M) zone and conducting a bio- medical assessment. Phase 4 includes preparation of the new biomedical overlay zone and any other related zoning code changes needed to support the overlay. Phase 5 is the public outreach and presentations of the study to the Planning Commission and City Council. DISCUSSION Since beginning the project, Civic Solutions has been researching key issues related to the biomedical industry, interviewing: other jurisdictions that have a cluster of biomedical businesses, Downey’s hospitals, local universities, regional hospitals; identifying Downey’s strengths and weaknesses, and interviewing biomedical stakeholders and experts. The have now completed Phase 2 of the project and are ready to present their key findings to the Planning Commission. While the full report is attached to this agenda memo, a summary of the initial findings are: Agenda Page 1 Biomedical Overlay Zone Study March 15, 2017 - Page 2 1. The biomedical field is highly sought after across the nation. Many jurisdictions, large and small, have incorporated incentives into their Zoning and/or Economic Development portfolios to attract this industry. 2. The City has the basic attributes desired by most biomedical uses. These include upgraded utilities and fiber optic networks, ready access to large employment and patient bases, existing hospital facilities, including the renowned Rancho Los Amigos National Rehabilitation Center, underdeveloped land with potential for redevelopment and proximity to biomedical clusters in Los Angeles, Orange and San Diego counties. 3. The Greater Los Angeles area is an emerging bioscience hub and Downey is already part of that cluster. The County of Los Angeles is actively pursuing development of bioscience clusters around the County, with Downey’s Rancho Los Amigos identified as one of a handful of sites critical to the Los Angeles County Biosciences Master Plan. 4. The City of Downey’s biomedical potential is limited by a lack of vacant land. Being built-out, there is a lack of available vacant land for firms seeking to “build fresh.” Instead, new facilities will require either the conversion of older structures or the razing of previously developed sites. 5. Cities with significant biomedical clusters across the United States provide a broad platform of incentives to attract biomedical uses. Zoning to facilitate and encourage biomedical uses is one of several incentives used to attract biomedical uses, but additional incentives are typically needed. In considering these findings, staff is seeking Planning Commission’s feedback. This feedback, along with the City Council’s feedback, will allow Civic Solutions to proceed with Phases 3 and 4 of the project. In the next phases of the project, Civic Solutions will assess the City’s existing ordinances and prepare appropriate recommendations to amend the Zoning Code. Once the amendments are prepared, staff will return to the Planning Commission and City Council through public hearings for the amendments to be considered. EXHIBITS A. Draft Research Summary Report, Dated January 9, 2017 Agenda Page 2 Draft Biomedical Overlay Research, City of Downey Page 1 of 27 CITY OF DOWNEY DRAFT RESEARCH SUMMARY REPORT January 9, 2017 Introduction The City of Downey, California retained Civic Solutions, Inc. to establish new “Biomedical Overlay Zone” regulations and development standards to work in concert with an updated Hospital-Medical Arts (H-M) Zone. This report summarizes the issues, background, and the market demands related to this type of land use and forms the foundation for the next project phases. SECTION 1 – EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The following points represent the primary findings from the preliminary research:  The biomedical field is highly sought after across the nation. Many jurisdictions, large and small, have incorporated incentives into their Zoning and/or Economic Development portfolios to attract this industry. However, significant amounts of venture capital are required to support biomedical clusters in metropolitan areas. Los Angeles County has upward trending biomedical venture capital investment of $74 Million in 2016. However, this is still significantly lower than other major U.S metropolitan areas such as San Francisco and San Diego.  The City of Downey has the basic attributes to attract biomedical businesses. The City has the basic attributes desired by most biomedical uses. These include upgraded utilities and fiber optic networks, ready access to large employment and patient bases, existing hospital facilities, including the renowned Rancho Los Amigos National Rehabilitation Center, underdeveloped land with potential for redevelopment and proximity to biomedical clusters in Los Angeles, Orange and San Diego counties. Additionally, success of biomedical firms is highly dependent on availability of specially trained professionals, especially those with graduate and professional degrees. Downey is close to several universities and vocational training centers with respected medical schools (e.g., USC, UCLA, and UCI) and vocational medical programs (e.g., Cerritos College, Downey Adult School). Agenda Page 3 CIVIC SOLUTIONS, INC. Draft Biomedical Overlay Research, City of Downey Page 2 of 27 The Greater Los Angeles area is an emerging bioscience hub and Downey is already part of that cluster. The County of Los Angeles is actively pursuing development of bioscience clusters around the County, with Downey’s Rancho Los Amigos identified as one of a handful of sites critical to the Los Angeles County Biosciences Master Plan. There may be opportunities for the City to expand its attractiveness as part of the County’s Master Plan by building alliances with existing companies, medical and educational institutions, and private ventures. Downey is likely to face potential competition due to existing alliances in nearby cities. The City of Downey’s biomedical potential is limited by a lack of vacant land. Being built-out, there is a lack of available vacant land for firms seeking to “build fresh.” Instead, new facilities will require either the conversion of older structures or the razing of previously developed sites. Cities with significant biomedical clusters across the United States provide a broad platform of incentives to attract biomedical uses. Zoning to facilitate and encourage biomedical uses is one of several incentives used to attract biomedical uses, but additional incentives are typically needed. Zoning incentives could be used to help overcome the County-wide shortage of laboratory space (wet and dry). Labs have high, upfront costs to retrofit buildings and this can be a substantial barrier to biomedical startup companies. SECTION 2 – PROJECT STATEMENT This report summarizes the results of biomedical research (Phases 1 and 2), the initial phases of a five-phase project to establish a Biomedical Overlay in the City and to attract and retain more biomedical jobs. In it, we identify other jurisdictions that have developed and implemented a “Biomedical Facilities Overlay” or similar zoning district, we report the results of interviews with medical and academic institutions with knowledge of the biomedical industry, and we summarize key economic data and characteristics of the biomedical industry. These results provide the basis for a “biomedical feasibility assessment” to identify Downey’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats in attempting to expand biomedical investment and employment. SECTION 3 – METHODOLOGY The Civic Solution’s project team conducted the following data collection and analysis: 1.Developed an in-depth understanding of the key issues related to the biomedical industry. The team reviewed trade journals including Site Selection Magazine, Urban Land Magazine, Practicing Planner, and Zoning News, reviewed web-based information, analyzed the findings of current and applicable research papers, and conducted interviews with experts knowledgeable about the biomedical field and economic development strategies, such as Ahmed Enany, CEO of the Southern California Biomedical Council (SoCalBio). Agenda Page 4 CIVIC SOLUTIONS, INC. Draft Biomedical Overlay Research, City of Downey Page 3 of 27 2. Conducted research on other jurisdictions that have developed and implemented biomedical zones. The team identified Biomedical Overlay Zone examples and their effectiveness, as well as other geographically-based incentives across the U.S. Cities studied included smaller to medium-sized cities such as Carlsbad, Oceanside, Torrance, Irvine and Santa Monica and large cities, including San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Phoenix, Seattle, Boston and many others. The team analyzed the cities’ zoning, financial and land use tools used to attract biomedical and health care jobs and investment, and identified patterns and anomalies in jurisdictions with successful zoning strategies. The team then documented the effectiveness of these jurisdictions’ methods and overall results. 3. Conducted interviews with key stakeholders and experts. The team interviewed key management staff at selected local and regional hospitals, universities and other medical/vocational programs, and biomedical businesses and associations in Downey and nearby areas. These organizations included the Rancho Los Amigos National Rehabilitation Center, Kaiser Permanente Health Center, Presbyterian Intercommunity Hospital (PIH Health), Hoag Memorial Hospital, Cerritos College, Downey Adult School, the Southern California Biomedical Council (SoCalBio), the University of Irvine Medical School, Keck School of Medicine of USC, Loma Linda University, and the Crean College of Health and Behavioral Sciences at Chapman University. The interviews helped in understanding the biomedical sector and the City's biomedical assets, needs and attributes. The interviews also provided insights into biomedical institutions and businesses that might consider locating in Downey or form alliances with medical facilities already in Downey. 4. Identified Downey’s key strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. Combining the information gathered from the above methods, the team organized the findings to identify effective zoning practices adopted by other jurisdictions, the requirements of industry firms and stakeholders, and the attributes of the Greater Los Angeles area’s emerging biomedical hub to develop a SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) assessment. 5. Conducted further analysis of issues identified and summarized analysis in the report. Based on initial findings, the team evaluated additional data outside of the work scope as necessary in the course of research, analyzed issues, and included additional observations, as appropriate, throughout the report. This additional research includes the evaluation of cities with successful biomedical clusters that do not provide zoning incentives, as well as interviews with heads of organizations in such areas, such as with Matthew Phillips, Director of the Sacramento Area Technology Alliance’s MedStart program. Agenda Page 5 CIVIC SOLUTIONS, INC. Draft Biomedical Overlay Research, City of Downey Page 4 of 27 SECTION 4 – RESULTS 4.1 Key Stakeholder Interviews 4.1.1 Main Findings 1. Several regional and local universities and institutions are interested in developing or expanding relationships with organizations in the City. 2. The City has a good foundation to help establish a biomedical hub, especially one centered on existing niche markets, such as the rehabilitative research and services provided at the Rancho Los Amigos. 3. The recent trend to attract biomedical uses includes the development of flexible spaces that adapt to the changing needs of growing companies. Additionally, high-quality housing and transportation facilities help attract the biomedical industry’s typically younger workforce. 4. More biomedical uses in the City would provide better opportunities for local schools to help students transition into the biomedical industry, improve the local labor pool and help maintain and attract new biomedical facilities. 5. Local jurisdictions can make a large impact by facilitating public and private coordination. In many of the newer biomedical developments, public agency input and participation are often critical to the projects’ success. 4.1.2 Interviews with major local hospitals and biomedical facilities Kaiser Permanente Health Center, Downey Campus. Gregg B. Durkee, Chief Operations Officer, spoke about Kaiser Permanente’s (KP) current plans to expand their Downey facilities with a “Bed Tower”, now in the planning and permitting phase. He oversees inpatient and outpatient hospital facilities and noted the center has about 4500 employees, including physicians. KP seeks locations that are easily accessible and that have a high community need. For these reasons, he felt Downey was a good location for their facility. KP’s mission is to improve the overall health of a community, and that includes addressing non-medical needs. In addition to seeking and providing local employment, KP brings hundreds, even thousands of patients weekly into the City and many of these folks provide secondary benefits to City through retail sales and use of local services. Mr. Durkee felt the City of Downey has been easy to work with and added that he understood the City has its rules. And while KP has a “really good relationship” with the City, KP would always appreciate opportunities to improve communications and expedite building permit processing. He expressed support for the City’s efforts to attract more biomedical uses. KP is significantly invested in medical research, and also looks for opportunities to partner with and/or encourage local medical-oriented businesses, such as kidney dialysis services or skilled nursing facilities existing in Downey. Mr. Durkee added that KP Downey has a Agenda Page 6 CIVIC SOLUTIONS, INC. Draft Biomedical Overlay Research, City of Downey Page 5 of 27 strong internship program with Cerritos College in their Hospitality Services program. He has been impressed with the City of Downey’s accomplishments in the last 10 years, and would like to receive further information on the City’s biomedical overlay project. PIH Health (Presbyterian Intercommunity Hospital), represented by Debra Legan, Vice President, Marketing, Business Development and Community Benefit. PIH, a multi-campus hospital with locations in Downey and Whittier, currently partners with the Keck School of Medicine at the University of Southern California (USC) Medical School to provide interns and doctors at PIH. PIH offers offices for resident doctors and interns. Speaking about the City of Downey, Debra Legan said the City staff is great to work with and has been very supportive of PIH. However, PIH would be concerned about the type of biomedical uses attracted by an overlay in Downey. Ms. Legan stated that PIH is heavily dependent, financially, on outpatient services with a large medical patient load. PIH’s primary program focus is on meeting medical care needs of low and moderate income families. Consequently, PIH’s business health would not benefit from increased competition by additional general medical services to Downey which may not be in the best interests of PIH or its patients. However, Ms. Legan stated, developing an overlay, or some other incentive program, that attracts more professional-level jobs in a range of bio-medical fields and promotes the construction of high quality housing would be beneficial. Rancho Los Amigos (RLA), represented by Jorge Orozco, Chief Executive Officer of RLA Rancho Los Amigos National Rehabilitation Center (RLA) is a world-renowned public hospital located in Downey that works with cutting edge medical technology, including stem cell implants and robotic, artificial limbs. RLA specializes in rehabilitation/restorative medical services (particularly for spinal/cranial injuries) that use local vendors for orthotics, prosthetics, and prescription drugs, when possible. The campus is currently undergoing an expansion that is expected to be completed in 2019. RLA works closely with Keck School of Medicine at USC and also the University of California, Los Angeles and Loma Linda University. Jorge Orozco stated that Downey is well liked by RLA employees and considered “a good place to work.” To help grow the area’s biomedical uses and assist RLA’s future operations, Mr. Orozco said that the City should consider facilitating more networking opportunities between hospitals, developers, businesses and academic sectors, such as a local biomed “summit” meeting sponsored by City. He added that RLA would be very open to public-private partnerships to expand medical services, biomedical research, manufacturing and uses. He added that some of RLA’s main vendors, including rehabilitation therapy and medical equipment, are located within the City. Agenda Page 7 CIVIC SOLUTIONS, INC. Draft Biomedical Overlay Research, City of Downey Page 6 of 27 4.1.3 Interviews with universities, research institutions, non-profits and bio- medical trade association Cerritos College, represented by Sandy Marks, MSN, MS(HCA), RN, the Instructional Dean of the Health Occupations Division Located in the City of Norwalk, Cerritos College offers a number of Associate Degrees related to medical specializations. Discussing the possibility to collaborate with the City of Downey, Sandy Marks stated that Cerritos College would be interested in building partnerships and programs that would benefit the community and surrounding areas. The College would be interested in learning more about the demographic and socioeconomic characteristics about the area’s population, and specifically about the retired, geriatric, and uninsured components of the population. Cerritos College would be interested in exploring opportunities to host classes off site. Noting that classes offered in this type of scenario would typically accommodate up to 60 students. If the City of Downey would be interested in this, facilitating the development of buildings designed to allow these types of spaces is necessary. Ms. Marks said that having local biomedical businesses where students could work or complete internships would be beneficial. Additionally, a competitive advantage for community college nursing programs is the presence of another higher education facility dedicated to providing the Associate Degree of Nursing graduates with the additional two years of education needed to obtain their Bachelors of Science in Nursing. Another critical need for Cerritos College students, and other students generally, is the need for child care up to the age of 12. Ms. Marks advocated for the inclusion of child care centers, such as part of a college laboratory center for child development classes. Chapman University, Crean College of Health and Behavioral Sciences, represented by Janeen Hill, Ph.D., Dean of Crean College. The Crean College of Health and Behavioral Sciences at Chapman University, located in Orange, California, provides advanced healthcare education and conducts interdisciplinary health sciences research. Dr. Janeen Hill said the college does have existing affiliations with nearby hospitals and health care facilities, but the partnership details were not discussed during the interview. The College has attempted partnerships with Los Angeles County and is particularly interested in establishing connections with the Ranchos Los Amigos Rehabilitation Center in the City of Downey. She added, however, that initial College efforts in this regard have so far, not been successful and that perhaps the City of Downey could be instrumental in facilitating such partnerships. Agenda Page 8 CIVIC SOLUTIONS, INC. Draft Biomedical Overlay Research, City of Downey Page 7 of 27 Downey Adult School, represented by Marianna Pacheco, Director of Academic Programs at Downey Adult School. The Downey Adult School (DAS) offers several medical and dental occupational training programs for Licensed Vocational Nurses, Phlebotomy, EKG/ECG Technicians, Medical Assistants, Dental Assistants, and others. Ms. Pacheco noted that a positive step the City could take to help grow DAS’s heath career training would be to promote “externships” to provide clinical work experience at hospitals, labs and other medical businesses. Additional opportunities for these placements could be provided by expanding medical uses and biomedical businesses, particularly near Rancho Los Amigos and the Kaiser Permanente hospitals, as well as on County of Los Angeles land in Downey. Further, she felt the City should partner with outside agencies to promote biomedical uses. Speaking about the positive attributes currently in the City of Downey, Ms. Pacheco stated that generally speaking, the City has good infrastructure and Downey’s supply of land is seen as sufficient. DAS currently offers classes at the Columbus High School campus in Downey. Ms. Pacheco added that DAS intends to expand the school’s medical and dental training and suitable classroom space is available at that campus to accommodate the expansion. Loma Linda University, represented by Dr. Garry Fitzgerald, Administration Advisor, former Vice President of Business at the University Loma Linda University is a Seventh-day Adventist, coeducational health-sciences university located in Loma Linda, California. The University comprises eight schools, including Medical, Dental and Nursing schools and the Faculty of Graduate Studies, and has a faculty of between 800 – 1000 professors/physicians at any given time. The University has an affiliated Medical Center, which, according to Dr. Fitzgerald, operates the largest children’s hospital and neonatal intensive care unit, in terms of number of beds, west of the Mississippi. The University’s mission is focused on medical instruction, research, and health services and is committed to diversity in its faculty and student body. It is guided by religious principles of the SDA church. Dr. Fitzgerald said the University is interested in expansion and is “very open” to partnering or discussions with public agencies (including cities). He added that the University has started satellite medical facilities in the cities of Murrieta and Indio, and has also worked closely with the City of San Bernardino. University officials have been looking at sites in other areas, particularly for facilities specializing in neuroscience. He is very familiar with the City of Downey and felt that the presence of the Rancho Los Amigos Hospital could offer positive teaching and research opportunities for the University faculty and students. He added that there is already some exchange of medical residents with RLA. Agenda Page 9 CIVIC SOLUTIONS, INC. Draft Biomedical Overlay Research, City of Downey Page 8 of 27 He felt the biomedical industry was rapidly expanding and that Loma Linda University students benefitted from and were part of that expansion. In terms of incentives needed to attract and retain biomedical uses, he felt public agencies typically should expect to provide land, financial benefits or both. For example, the U.S. Federal government worked with the City of San Bernardino and the Loma Linda University Hospital to develop a medical center on a portion of the decommissioned Norton Air Force Base. He said that the biggest challenge in expanding biomedical uses, particularly academic and research facilities, are readily available investment capital and financing. He added that public-private partnerships are one way universities are securing the necessary capital. For example, Loma Linda University partners with Quest Diagnostics, a private- sector laboratory specializing in sports medicine and medical testing. University of Southern California, Keck School of Medicine, represented by Randolph W. Hall, Ph.D., Vice President, Research The Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California was established in 1885 as the region’s first medical school, and was the second professional school founded at USC. Following a $110 million gift from the W.M. Keck Foundation in 1999, the school began an expansion program to become one of the most highly regarded medical schools in the nation. The School also invested in new research efforts including the Zilkha Neurogenetic Institute which seeks to expand scientific knowledge of some of the most debilitating diseases of the brain, such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Dr. Hall indicated it would be difficult for Downey to develop a biomedical hub due to the lack of a concentrated collection of medical schools and other institutions that can attract research grants/investment. However, he also said that Rancho Los Amigos represents the City’s best opportunity for expanding into the biomedical sector. USC has a relationship with RLA in research, especially neurological research, and has residents there as well. He mentioned Dr. Charles Liu, MD, PhD, director of the USC Center for Neurorestoration and Chair of the Department of Neurology at RLA. He noted that Dr. Liu regularly works with emerging biomedical firms on experimental therapies to treat paralysis and other conditions, and there are some spin off opportunities for entrepreneurial activities located near RLA. He said that within biomedical hubs, close proximity is very important for doctors, staff and patients to quickly walk between hospitals, medical offices, labs, etc. Southern California Biomedical Council (SoCalBio), represented by Ahmed A. Enany, President and Chief Executive Officer The Southern California Biomedical Council (SoCalBio) is a nonprofit trade association serving biomedical related businesses and organizations throughout the six counties which make-up the Greater Los Angeles region (Los Angeles, Orange, Ventura, Santa Barbara, Riverside and San Bernardino). Agenda Page 10 CIVIC SOLUTIONS, INC. Draft Biomedical Overlay Research, City of Downey Page 9 of 27 Mr. Enany stated that Downey is part of the Greater Los Angeles area’s regional biomedical draw and suggested that the City of Downey should aspire to be a hub of biomedical employment. Discussing the specifics of a successful biomedical overlay, Mr. Enany said that such zoning could allow biomedical uses in zones where they are not typically allowed, but where access, transportation and space is well suited for biomedical uses. Additionally, the City may want to consider the provision of development incentives, such as increased floor area ratio (FAR), lot coverage, and/or building height, to promote a minimum “employees per acre” ratio. Mr. Enany talked about the three basic types of biomedical uses: 1) research and development, 2) medical services, and 3) medical manufacturing. Of these, he felt that the City of Downey could be most successful in attracting medical manufacturing and “niche” biomedical uses related to medical rehabilitation by building on the national recognition of Rancho Los Amigos. He stated the City needs to look at geographic competition for biomedical uses to further identify the other niche markets Downey can best fill. He doubted that bio-tech uses such as medical research and development were feasible in Downey, since the City is not closely affiliated with a university or research institution. “Biotech” industries are typically associated with cell biology and chemical research; not with mechanical or electronic research and manufacturing. SoCalBio advocates for all new development to include universal access as it helps support biomedical uses and development. Other development techniques that prove beneficial for biomedical uses is “flex” or convertible office space; that is, commercial space that is interchangeable between wet and dry laboratory space and offices. “Wet” laboratory space refers to laboratories where chemicals, drugs, or other material or biological matter are handled in liquid solutions or volatile phases, requiring direct ventilation, and specialized piped utilities (typically water and various gases). Special focus should be paid to expanding incentives for medical laboratory space development and more business park/manufacturing-zoned areas with vacant or re-developable land. From a municipal standpoint, Mr. Enany stated that it is important for Downey to develop a “toolbox” of strategies to attract biomedical uses and job seekers. For example, one primary tool is to promote higher density, high-quality apartment homes close to transit, similar to that found in Irvine. Housing in the form of condominiums, courtyard homes, and larger single-family residences also help to attract biomedical job seekers and businesses seeking to locate in areas with high quality housing options. The City’s location near the Norwalk/Santa Fe Springs Metrolink Station can help facilitate this approach. According to Mr. Enany, the City already has a few key tools. These consist of the promotion of its centralized location between Los Angeles and Orange counties with affordable land costs. Also of locational importance, is being surrounded by four major freeway connections and the proximity to the Metrolink Orange County Gold Line stop in Santa Fe Springs/Norwalk. Agenda Page 11 CIVIC SOLUTIONS, INC. Draft Biomedical Overlay Research, City of Downey Page 10 of 27 The City of Downey should pay special attention to local utilities and increasing capacity when necessary. For example, increasing water and wastewater capacity, which is typically a critical need for biomedical uses, may be required for some businesses or organizations. Fiber optic cable installation, such as that done by the City on Paramount Boulevard, has proven to be a very desirable attribute for site selection. It may also be a benefit to explore a potential collaboration with surrounding cities like Santa Fe Springs, Pico Rivera, Norwalk, and Paramount to address some issues better suited to regional responses. University of California, Irvine Medical Center, represented by Paul Da Vega, Senior Project Manager, and John Gilway, Executive of Governmental Relations The University of California, Irvine (UCI) Medical Center is located in the City of Orange, and is consistently ranked as one of the nation’s best hospitals. In addition, the UCI School of Medicine is ranked as one of the nation’s top medical schools for research. The Medical Center is currently the only university-based hospital in Orange County, and currently does not have any formal partnerships with the City of Orange or biomedical companies. Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian is a not-for-profit health care network based in Newport Beach, with two hospitals, 10 urgent care centers and seven health centers located in nine Orange County cities. The Newport Beach hospital is a 414-bed general medical and surgical facility. According to Stephen Jones, Vice Chairman of the Board of Hoag Hospital, a “biomedical overlay” approach was tried in the San Francisco area to attract biomedical uses to Mission Bay, but the approach didn’t work because it couldn’t dislodge “solidified clusters” of biomedical uses located elsewhere in the region. He noted that biomedical companies follow where specialized physicians and medical researchers live and work, physicians follow hospitals, and hospitals tend to follow universities with medical schools and research. This may explain, at least in part, why a portion of Kaiser Permanente’s planned Medical School moved to Pasadena, California. There is a higher concentration of physicians and medical researchers already living in that area. He also noted that hospital expansions and new medical centers are, in his experience, beginning to get “push back” from nearby residents who are concerned about additional traffic, parking impacts, etc. This is why appropriate zoning and development standards are so important to attract biomedical uses. The medical industry is becoming more specialized and diverse. He felt that Downey could succeed in attracting specialized biomedical uses area by building on its strengths. The City should focus on whether there is an “unfilled biomedical services niche” that it can fill. For example, the administrative and mail order pharmaceutical facility run by Kaiser Permanente may be a springboard for complementary uses. Agenda Page 12 CIVIC SOLUTIONS, INC. Draft Biomedical Overlay Research, City of Downey Page 11 of 27 4.2 City Zoning Survey 4.2.1 Main Findings 1. There are several zoning tools that cities utilize to attract biomedical uses. Such tools are typically designed to meet the needs of the individual jurisdiction based on its biomedical goals, existing development patterns and the community’s preferences on development character. 2. The most typical land use approach to encourage biomedical uses is to create a base zone that allows the use “by right”, that is, without requiring discretionary approvals. However, this approach also may allow competing or non-supportive land uses that could potentially discourage desirable biomedical uses. The most successful cities with biomedical clusters achieve a “synergy” by attracting both primary biomedical uses and supportive uses. It appears that this is best achieved through zoning which specifically encourages appropriate uses, while restricting uses that detract from the purpose of the zone. For example, all-inclusive industrial zones that also allow biomedical uses, generally do not result in successful biomedical clusters. 3. Two planning studies currently underway, the City’s Imperial Highway Corridor Study and the Los Angeles County’s Rancho South Campus Master Plan offer significant opportunities for expanding and intensifying biomedical uses in Downey. Initial estimates for the South Campus Plan alone indicate a possibility to designate about 40 acres across Imperial Highway from the Kaiser Permanente Hospital for eventual redevelopment of County facilities with biomedical uses. 4. A more specific approach that some cities use is a biomedical overlay that adjusts development standards of the base zone to provide additional flexibility for or reduce development costs of biomedical uses. 5. Overlay zones, or other zoning tools that allow biomedical uses in areas where the base zoning would not normally allow them, such as manufacturing, Business Park or commercial zones. The overlays may also provide incentives such as exceptions to building height limits, maximum lot coverage or flexible floor area ratios (FAR) based on numbers of patients or type of use. 6. The most consistent attribute of cities and counties with biomedical zoning is a focus on the uses permitted in the zones and their relationship to supporting institutions. 7. In areas that are nearly built-out, recent focus is on the appropriate relationship between biomedical (or light industrial) uses and existing residential development. 8. Some of the more unique zoning tools are in-zone density transfers and density increases based on the inclusion of certain uses. 4.2.2 Jurisdictions with Biomedical Districts There are a number of local governments and regional planning agencies that have either investigated or acted to adopt zoning measures to promote biomedical and other related uses. This section of the report is accompanied by two tables. The first is Figure 1 and represents a snapshot of the main attributes of cities across the U.S. with zoning that allows, encourages or incentivizes biomedical uses. Agenda Page 13 CIVIC SOLUTIONS, INC. Draft Biomedical Overlay Research, City of Downey Page 12 of 27 The second, Attachment 1, is a zoning comparison matrix that describes these attributes in greater detail. The matrix represents a range of options for biomedical zoning techniques to provide a complete picture of the “zoning landscape” across the nation. These techniques range from industrial zones that provide the basic standards to allow biomedical uses, to zones that are designed specifically to incentivize biomedical uses. It includes a description of the zones’ standards, development intensity allowed, availability of other incentives and major institutions that anchor the zone, if any. Figure 1 – City Survey Zoning Attributes A few prominent biomedical “zones” in the U.S. are not included in the list; for example, Boston’s Bioscience Corridor. This is because these “zones” are not the result of any direct city land use City/ County Base Zones allow Biomedical Uses Use of Biomedical Overlay Types of Zoning Incentives Provided for Biomedical Uses Aliso Viejo, CA  Nothing additional, but allows “wet” labs. Carlsbad, CA  Nothing additional, but provides process for medical campus development in existing zones. Inglewood, CA  Increased lot coverage and building height. Irvine, CA  Increased FAR and building height; Zone discourages competing uses. Jupiter, Florida   Increased building height. Lyndon, WA  Increased lot coverage and building height. Mangonia Park, FL   None, but provides expedited permit processing. Montgomery Co., MD  Increased FAR and building height. In- zone density transfers. Oakland, CA  Increased FAR. Phoenix, AZ  Zone discourages non-biomedical uses. Poway, CA  Zone discourages non-medical uses. Sacramento, CA  Nothing additional. San Diego (La Jolla), CA  Increased height; zone discourages non-biomedical uses. Proximity to UCSD. San Francisco, CA   Increased FAR and building height. Santa Monica, CA  Nothing additional. Torrance, CA  Nothing additional. Agenda Page 14 CIVIC SOLUTIONS, INC. Draft Biomedical Overlay Research, City of Downey Page 13 of 27 or zoning action. That is, they do not involve the application of public agency zoning or land use regulation. Rather, they rely heavily on local academic or medical institutions, networks of economic development incentives, or non-profit and private sector construction to create the space most needed by biomedical start-ups. These types of incentives are discussed in greater detail at the end of this section, as cities with successful biomedical zones tend to also provide other non-zoning incentives, as well. The most straightforward incentive is to adopt a base biomedical zone (comparable to Downey’s H-M Zone) specifically to permit biomedical uses by right, plus accessory uses that are compatible with and supportive of the primary biomedical uses. In this method, the zone will include the entire geographic area where those uses are desired, along with the use and development standards specific to the biomedical industry. The zone will identify all permitted, and conditionally permitted uses allowed in the zone. Additionally, uses that are not seen as complementary can be discouraged by prohibiting them. The cities that best demonstrate this type of zoning are the California cities of San Diego, Irvine, Santa Monica; and Phoenix, Arizona, and Montgomery County, Maryland. These jurisdictions created zones that identify the biomedical uses to be encouraged and developed standards that contributed to the jurisdictions’ desired development patterns in ways that met the needs of the biomedical industry. Phoenix’s Biomedical Campus is an example of a successful, multi-faceted biomedical zone. The zone is comprised of zoning standards specific to the biomedical industry, and was augmented by financial incentives that created a comprehensive economic development package. Included in this report is an analogue study by the Concord Group that analyzes the City of Phoenix’s Biomedical Campus, and evaluates the economic and employment impacts of the development on the City. Please refer to Attachment 4 for that study. Some cities set maximum FARs for biomedical uses to 1.0, or lot coverage to 30 percent to preserve smaller-scale compatibility, while other, more densely populated cities allow FARs up to 3.0 or lot coverage of 100 percent. Of the 16 cities with biomedical zoning surveyed, there was no identifiable pattern that emerged that suggested that most biomedical zoning was provided a substantial increase in the development intensity beyond similarly intensive commercial zones. The overwhelming similarity in the biomedical zones’ mechanisms for incentivizing biomedical uses was in streamlined permitting of such uses, and the generally broad nature of those uses. Typically, biomedical zones allow a complete mix of bioscience-related uses, such as those described in the City of San Diego’s Zoning Ordinance which allows manufacturing of biochemical research and diagnostic compounds to be used primarily by universities, laboratories, hospitals, and clinics for scientific research and “developmental testing purposes” and “biological, biomedical, and pharmaceutical products”, and “scientific, engineering, and medical instruments.” Additionally, cities allow compatible uses that have the effect of supporting, possibly even attracting biomedical uses. Typical types of compatible uses would be general office, restaurants and coffee shops, public transportation facilities, and service uses geared to biomedical employees. Agenda Page 15 CIVIC SOLUTIONS, INC. Draft Biomedical Overlay Research, City of Downey Page 14 of 27 The second method to use zoning to incentivize biomedical uses is to develop general base zones that include standards that facilitate the development of biomedical using a more generalized approach. This approach can be seen in the City of Aliso Viejo, which has a focused industrial zoning geared to high-tech companies and corporate headquarters. However, within the industrial zones, the City fosters the development of uses critical to the biomedical industry, such as wet laboratory space. Finally, there are cities that have adopted zoning overlays that alter certain standards for an area’s base zones. This method would typically identify a base zone that accommodates a broad spectrum of uses, such as commercial and industrial uses, but that on their own either do not allow or do not incentivize the development of biomedical uses. An overlay would then be applied to allow biomedical and other compatible uses. The overlay may also provide special standards for the incentivized uses above what the base zone allows. This would generally amount to an intensification of certain development standards, such as building height or an increase in the Floor Area Ratio. The City of San Francisco is a good example of this type of zoning incentive. That city’s Life Science and Medical Special Use District allows certain encouraged uses, such as Medical Services, Life Science Offices, and Life Science Laboratories are exempt from the City’s FAR and height limitations. Jupiter, Florida’s Biomedical Research Protection Zone is another example, which allows a six foot increase in building height for each floor of the development that will have at least 20% wet lab space. Another type of overlay is San Francisco’s Life Science Special Use District, located to encourage bioscience and biotech uses in proximity to the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) campus at Mission Bay. The City is the epicenter of one of the most successful bioscience clusters in the nation. Included in this report is an analogue study by the Concord Group that analyzes the City of San Francisco’s Kaiser Permanente San Francisco Medical Center Master Plan 2013-2022, and evaluates the economic and employment impacts of the development on the City. Please refer to Attachment 5 for that study. The City of Inglewood provides a unique example of an overlay. Its version is called the “Biomedical Enterprise Overlay.” This overlay provides both an incentive for biomedical uses by allowing certain uses where they otherwise would not be allowed, while dis-incentivizing perceived competing uses by not allowing residential-only development. As discussed later in the section regarding the biomedical industry research, the City of Inglewood’s overlay speaks to the delicate transition that is needed in more built-out cities between medical and residential uses. This overlay attempts to protect the residents’ quality of life while maintaining competitiveness in attracting biomedical uses. While this is not typical in municipal zoning ordinances, the sentiment is often expressed, as it was in an interview with an administrator from Hoag Memorial Hospital in Newport Beach, who stated that “I do not expect there was any resistance to the hospital or its location when it was built 60 years ago since there was nothing around it. The resistance only comes now because neighbors do not like a hospital next to them….” Agenda Page 16 CIVIC SOLUTIONS, INC. Draft Biomedical Overlay Research, City of Downey Page 15 of 27 It is difficult to predict the impact that a particular zoning incentive might have on a community when provided to the biomedical industry. In part, this is because no comprehensive study has been undertaken to ascertain these effects. Also, information related to a particular incentive’s effectiveness is contained in someone’s personal experience, essentially a case study by city staff. While this type of evaluation can be very informative, especially from an implementation standpoint, there are problems associated with extrapolating this type of information to apply to another jurisdiction. However, it was identified during our research that cities with successful biomedical clusters typically have within their boundaries, or are associated with, research universities or hospitals. In addition to zoning mechanisms, cities wishing to attract biomedical uses can create an “enterprise” or economic development area that is typically tied to existing universities or large health centers. In conjunction with this, there can be financial incentives or business-support activities. The financial incentives can be anything from direct payments made to businesses that relocate, expand, or remain in the area, as is a signature of the City of Nashville’s economic development portfolio, to waiving certain taxes or fees, as Oceanside, California has done. That city recently provided millions of dollars in tax breaks to incentivize one firm to relocate to the area. U.S. cities where the top biomedical hubs are located focus heavily on providing support services. These include the creation of on-demand laboratory and office space for entrepreneurial biomedical students or start-ups, public transportation facilities and land use plans that create entire micro-environments to attract the talented young professionals the biomedical industry needs to grow. In researching other jurisdictions that advertise biomedical/life-science/biotech “zones,” it is apparent that to successfully create such zones requires a concerted focus on multiple characteristics of a city, if not a region. Many cities and counties, such as New Orleans, Montgomery County, Maryland, Marin County, California, and San Carlos, California, have spent resources, sometimes considerable amounts of money, to institute an incentive scheme only to find that the city was simply not well situated to successfully attract biomedical industries. Other cities, like Inglewood, California and Lyndon, Washington created biomedical base zones or overlays only to see no results. According to city staff, this outcome is a result of the complete absence of existing biomedical industry, research universities and hospitals. What is clear is that biomedical uses are highly sought after by many cities for their perceived economic benefits. By investigating the areas with the most densely populated biomedical clusters, it can be determined, generally, what attributes and characteristics are most often prevalent, thus determining the basic characteristics and incentives that appear most attractive to biomedical companies. Agenda Page 17 CIVIC SOLUTIONS, INC. Draft Biomedical Overlay Research, City of Downey Page 16 of 27 4.3 Biomedical Industry Research The following information represents the main findings of the biomedical industry research, which is composed of a review of relevant trade journals such as Site Selection Magazine, Urban Land Magazine, Practicing Planner, and Zoning News, a review web-based information, an analysis of the findings of current and applicable research papers, and information gathered from interviews with experts knowledgeable about the biomedical field and relevant economic development techniques. A more descriptive explanation of these findings is provided as Attachment 13. Main Findings 1. In 2015, Battelle Technology Partnership Practice developed the Feasibility Assessment and Master Plan for Advancing the Bioscience Industry Cluster in Los Angeles County for the Los Angeles County Supervisors. The group proposed, and the County Supervisors have since begun approving, initiatives that make up the Los Angeles County Bioscience Master Plan. In a 2011 feasibility study referenced in the Batelle Group’s analysis, one of the potential sites for a BioHub could be Rancho Los Amigos. 2. The competition to attract bioscience/bio-tech firms has increased over the recent decades. This competition has led to an understanding among private firms and public agencies that quality of life plays a major role in the decisions of employees regarding where they are willing to settle for employment in the biomedical industry. High-quality development is a crucial need for the biomedical industry due to the attraction of the younger generations of the workforce by cities that tend to locate in coastal areas and seek vibrant urban environments. 3. The success of large campus-style medical centers depends, in large part, on the local jurisdiction’s ability to provide high-quality development, public infrastructure, access, and services. Additionally, redevelopment of existing facilities is critical to an ever-changing healthcare and biomedical marketplace. 4. Connections between research facilities and the biomedical industry are very important. Biomedical clusters have traditionally been centered on academic research centers. Local governments desiring to foster the creation of new biomedical industry will need to facilitate this collaboration with local and regional institutions. 5. For many communities, concerns are being raised about the interface between medical uses and residential properties. Collaboration with the affected neighborhoods is critical for success. Ideally, cities can encourage biomedical uses on the periphery or in areas where they do not adversely affect residential neighborhoods and where they can grow outward. Or alternatively, encouraging biomedical institutions (e.g., hospitals, major research facilities) to disperse their operational units away from the main campus. Cities Agenda Page 18 CIVIC SOLUTIONS, INC. Draft Biomedical Overlay Research, City of Downey Page 17 of 27 that are more generally built-out tend to have one option remaining, which is to provide the path for institutions to demolish obsolete buildings and grow vertically. 6. Collaboration between public agencies and the private enterprises that make up the contemporary life science industry will be one of the important keys to success in the years to come, with innovation districts consisting of high-quality housing options, good public transportation, retail opportunities, and office and research and development areas that work together being a key component. Agenda Page 19 CIVIC SOLUTIONS, INC. Draft Biomedical Overlay Research, City of Downey Page 18 of 27 SECTION 5 – S.W.O.T. EVALUATION Based on the research conducted by the Civic Solutions team, the following evaluation represents the City of Downey’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT) related to attracting biomedical uses. In conjunction with the information contained in this report, research on relevant demographic, economic, and employment data was used to develop the SWOT analysis. A description of the findings of this demographic, economic, and employment data is provided in Attachments 6-12. Strengths: 1. Central location in Greater Los Angeles area. Downey’s central location provides a good opportunity for biomedical uses that require access to multiple nodes in Southern California, from San Diego to Los Angeles. 2. Increasing venture capital spending in Los Angeles area. Los Angeles County has upward trending bio-venture capital investment - $74 Million in 2016. 3. Highly-skilled workforce in Los Angeles County. Success of biomedical firms is highly dependent on availability of specially trained professionals, especially those with graduate and professional degrees. Downey is relatively close to schools with respected graduate programs (USC, UCLA, and UCI). 4. Existing hospital and biomedical -related industry in the City and County. An upcoming trend in the biomedical industry is the development of a signature complex that emphasizes an interconnected network of partnerships with biomedical firms. LA County currently has plans to expand its biomedical cluster, which would give Downey opportunities for partnership with its existing medical facilities. Ranchos Los Amigos Rehabilitation Center is highly regarded in physical therapy and prosthetics, which could lead to future development of research space. 5. High tech infrastructure and utilities in place. Downey has made some strategic investments to maintain quality infrastructure important to the biomedical industry, such as high speed internet. 6. Three top research institutions (UCLA, USC, and UC Irvine) located in the region. The presence of top research institutions are a positive sign for the Greater Los Angeles area, and will help foster investments in the region that Downey can take advantage of. The County of Los Angeles is actively pursuing development of bioscience clusters around the County, with Downey’s Rancho Los Amigos identified as one of a handful of sites critical to the Los Angeles County Biosciences Master Plan. Agenda Page 20 CIVIC SOLUTIONS, INC. Draft Biomedical Overlay Research, City of Downey Page 19 of 27 Weaknesses: 1. Lack of research universities/ facilities in close proximity. Relationships with high NIH-funded research institutions provide a key source of equity for biomedical firms. Downey lacks a major research institution within its boundaries but has the potential to partner with top NIH institutions, such as UCLA, USC and UCI. 2. Lack of vacant land for new development. Most biomedical development will be remodeling or new construction in previously developed sites in Downey, since there are no existing biomedical buildings. Downey is mostly built-out, which will generally require that existing buildings be demolished before new construction can begin, a cost that development in other cities on the periphery may not include. 3. Lack of commercial/industrial buildings to convert to “wet laboratory” use. Retrofitting lab space can be a high-up front cost and a big barrier for young biomedical companies, but can be alleviated through construction of new buildings that are readily equipped and meet strict requirements. 4. Lack of availability of venture capital funding, compared to other western U.S. metropolitan centers. Significant amounts of venture capital are required to support biomedical clusters in metropolitan areas. The amount invested in Los Angeles County is still significantly lower than other major U.S metropolitan areas such as San Francisco and San Diego. 5. Lower educated/trained workforce. Average graduate education level of Los Angeles County (7% graduate degrees) is in line with San Diego (8% graduate degrees) and Orange counties (8% graduate degrees). Downey (4% graduate degrees) may need to attract additional qualified technical, research and medical job seekers from neighboring counties and cities if is to successfully expand its biomedical sector. This would, in turn, require that the City promote and to the maximum degree possible, expand its services, housing and quality of life factors that will attract highly educated and talented biomedical job seekers. 6. Few existing relationships with top research institutions. Alliances among major medical schools, existing companies, local government, and private ventures are needed to provide capital support and expedited entitlements for biomedical firms. Downey could face potential competition with existing alliances in nearby cities. 7. Distance to the region’s established biotech nodes and existing traffic congestion. Downey’s distance to major biomedical clusters in Southern California and traffic congestion limit the ability for synergistic, locational relationships with traditional biomedical companies and research institutions. Agenda Page 21 CIVIC SOLUTIONS, INC. Draft Biomedical Overlay Research, City of Downey Page 20 of 27 Opportunities: 1. Existing niche market for rehabilitative biomedical uses. The City of Downey has a world-renowned facility, Rancho Los Amigos that provides unique services that have the potential to contribute to the presence of a signature complex for the City. 2. The absence of strategic investment in new, critical facilities and technologies in other competitive markets. While biomedical uses are highly sought after across the nation, in the Los Angeles area there is a lack of an established biomedical hub, with development somewhat sporadic and not well unified. To a degree, this increases Downey’s changes of becoming a hub. 3. The County of Los Angeles actively working to establish BioHubs around the County. Evaluations of potential BioHub sites include the Rancho Los Amigos facility. 4. Lack of “wet lab” space in Los Angeles County. Wet laboratory space is a critical need for a successful biomedical cluster. This type of development is typically more expensive to construct, and difficult to convert existing building. There are not many cities that specifically identify wet laboratories as a permitted use, making it unclear whether a city would permit it. Threats: 1. Competition from other jurisdictions with established biomedical cluster, such as Irvine and Los Angeles. Alliances with existing companies, local government, and private ventures can provide capital support and expedited entitlements for biomedical firms. Downey could face potential competition with existing alliances in nearby cities. 2. Unknown saturation point of the market, within the state and nation. For decades the biomedical industry has been growing rapidly. There is very little research to indicate at what point the market demand will be met, or how close that point in time may be. 3. Decentralization of the Los Angeles area hubs and more movement to areas with available greenfield development potential. The trend in the Greater Los Angeles area tends to be construction of new facilities along the periphery in areas with available land to develop. Agenda Page 22 CIVIC SOLUTIONS, INC.

In 2015, Battelle Technology Partnership Practice developed the Feasibility Assessment and Master Plan for Advancing the Bioscience Industry Cluster in Los Angeles County for the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors. Battelle's research and analysis indicates that the industry is an important economic driver for the region and that the area could potentially be a primary bioscience hub in the nation. Finding a lack of “early-stage venture capital” and available wet lab space, the report stated that the foundation to build up the public-private partnerships necessary to expand the existing cluster is feasible. The group proposed, and the County Supervisors have since begun approving, initiatives that make up the Los Angeles County Bioscience Master Plan. These initiatives are, “an investment of $11.0 million in one-time capital funding and $1.8-$3.5 million annually in on-going funding, utilizing existing County land and buildings, and other potential incentives, over a five-year pilot period.” One of the key proposals is for the County to create three to five “signature bioscience innovation hubs,” now referred to as BioHubs, around the County. A 2011 feasibility study, referenced in the Batelle Group’s analysis, indicates that one of the potential sites for a BioHub could be Rancho Los Amigos. The need for this level of economic development is understandable, given the current market for the industry. Adam Bruns, writing for Site Selection Magazine. discusses how the competition to attract bioscience/bio-tech firms has increased over the recent decades. In the Boston area, a typical position in the field typically pays about $70,740 per year. Attracting this type of employment is a top priority for many areas of the nation, and the world. However, even with such a high-paying industry, reports indicate that some markets can price out many firms, such as Boston and San Diego. Finding other areas, where the labor pool is skilled enough to accommodate employers, that meet the cost requirements of firms looking to start, expand, or re- locate operations becomes critical. In addition to cost, firms understand that quality of life plays a major role in the decisions of employees regarding where they are willing to settle for employment in the industry. Echoing these findings, Julia Cox, also writing for Site Selection Magazine, states that the biomedical industry is facing increasing competition due to, “the need for improved patient care, as well as a shift towards more targeted and personalized medicine.” This shifting focus has implications for cities due to the new requirements related to the need for expanded wireless technology and the growing role of big data and informatics. The intensity of competition, she says, puts pressure on pricing and the search for new ways to innovate existing development to address the changing marketplace. In resources provided by the American Planning Association, the success of large campus-style medical centers depends, in large part, on the local jurisdiction’s ability to provide high-quality development, public infrastructure, access, and service. These characteristics include buildings Agenda Page 56 ATTACHMENT 13 Attachment 13, Page 2 of 4 and sites that are sustainably designed for active movement and healthy living principles. Special focus should be placed on efficient public transportation and a grand vision for the district. Similarly, redevelopment of existing facilities is critical to an ever-changing healthcare and biomedical marketplace. An example of this need is demonstrated in a large medical district in Texas, the Southwestern Medical District in Dallas. Though the district has world-renowned institutions, such as the Children’s Medical Center Dallas, Parkland Hospital, and the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, the district was no longer providing the atmosphere desired by its clients. With superblocks to traverse and aging infrastructure, the heat-island was found to be difficult to navigate. To address the situation, public-private partnerships were formed to develop an urban streetscape master plan, and turn the district into a high-quality, livable community that engages pedestrians and creates a more contemporary sense of place. JLL’s 2014 Global Life Sciences Cluster Report notes that this type of high-quality development is a crucial need for the biomedical industry due to the attraction of the “younger generations of the workforce“ by cities that tend to be “coastal and possess vibrant urban environments.” In an article for Urban Land Magazine, Beth Mattsen-Teig continues this discussion, focusing on the need for public infrastructure tailored to the needs of the biomedical industry as the foundation of a medically-centered zone. For some cities, such as Minneapolis, this meant “improvements to the street grids and adding greenway space.” Furthermore, just as it is important to get the infrastructure right from the beginning are guidelines, whether zoning standards, a master plan, or design guidelines that need to be in place for the vision of a district to come together cohesively. The American Planning Association also identifies the secondary effects of the medical industry’s expansion. For many communities, concerns are being raised about the transitional areas where medical uses and residential properties meet. This is due to the tendency for medical uses to stay open later, if not 24 hours a day, occupy commercial areas more traditionally developed for retail-type uses, and the movement to providing more mental health and substance abuse treatment services. To address these issues, planning and real estate professionals have discussed how the delivery of tomorrow’s healthcare services will rely on the development of real estate suited to the biomedical and biosciences industries. This will, in many areas, also require the creative re-use of existing facilities and sites, especially the development of commercial space that is flexible for multiple uses to accommodate the inevitable transitions through a business’s life cycle. The San Francisco Biosciences Task Force made a similar finding, noting that biomedical start- ups typically need smaller facilities, between 2,000 and 10,000 square feet that may be part of the new model of incubator laboratories. They also stated that, “specialized laboratory space, meeting complex health, safety, building code and research standards are several times more expensive than typical commercial space. “ In an article in Urban Land Magazine, Kathryn Madden and David Gamble discuss developing new, or expanding existing medical centers in more densely populated areas. They note that Agenda Page 57 ATTACHMENT 13 Attachment 13, Page 3 of 4 change is not impossible, but collaboration with the affected communities is critical to success. Short of the options to provide institutions land on the periphery and grow outward, or having institutions disperse their operational units away from the main campus, cities that are more generally built-out tend to have one option remaining, which is to provide the path for institutions to demolish obsolete buildings and grow vertically. Ron Nyren, in an article for Urban Land Magazine, notes that collaboration between public agencies and the private enterprises that make up the contemporary life science industry will be one of the important keys to success in the years to come. Already, he states, local and regional governments have begun pooling their monies with private and non-profit enterprises, including universities, to help form emerging bioscience clusters that can provide the resources necessary for the new “bench to bedside” process, the drive to translate research into healing therapies as soon as possible. In a related article, Mr. Nyren discusses the Phoenix Biomedical Campus, one of the nation’s best examples of this multi-sector biomedical planning approach. He writes that the effort was the product of the state of Arizona, the City of Phoenix, and multiple state universities. The results of which is 28-acre campus which provides, “research space for bioscience students from the University of Arizona’s department of basic medical sciences and Arizona State University’s department of biomedical informatics, with wet and dry labs, offices, interaction spaces, and conference rooms.” Delving more in-depth on the subject, Beth Mattsen-Teig, writing in Urban Land Magazine, states that the new model for these “innovation districts” are sprouting around the world. While no dominant model (in terms of zoning, financial, or collaborative incentives) has emerged as the definitive example, there are some generally accepted attributes to a successful technology- based district. One such trait is that these districts are typically anchored by major institution, such as a “university, hospital, corporation, or research facility.” Additionally, there is a push for mixed-use space, consisting of high-quality housing options, good public transportation, retail opportunities, and office and research and development areas that work together in a vibrant environment. The 2011 California Biomedical Report noted how important connections to research facilities are to the industry, stating that biomedical clusters have traditionally been centered around “academic research centers, most notably the University of California (UC) campuses in San Francisco, San Diego, Los Angeles and Orange County. San Diego’s Salk Institute, The Scripps Research Institute and Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institution also have been magnets, drawing brilliant minds to build world-class laboratories and spinning out new companies to commercialize their inventions.” JLL’s 2014 Global Life Sciences Cluster Report speaks to this further, stating that highly ranked research university programs “remain important innovation partners and therefore cities anchored by such institutions also continue to see growth in their biotech industries.” This type of development comes as part of the wave of industry back to the core cities, Ms. Mattsen-Teig explains, in another piece in Urban Land Magazine. She identifies that the Agenda Page 58 ATTACHMENT 13 Attachment 13, Page 4 of 4 demographic and economic forces shifting this development value high-quality places “at much higher levels – by the market, by companies, and by individuals.” In fact, at the forefront of this movement are the technological changes occurring in the industry and the need for more flexible space to adapt to the market. In this environment, Ms. Mattsen-Teig notes, “big global companies are working with networks of individuals and researchers in urban-style campuses and neighborhoods, and they have a greater desire to locate near major institutions such as Carnegie Mellon or Georgia Tech or MIT.” This remark expresses the need for local governments to do a better job collaborating with local and regional institutions to help foster these relationships, as Jorge Orozco of RLA stated in his interview.
