WELCOME
The California Hospital Campus of California Pacific Medical Center (CPMC) at 3700 California Street will be moving to a new state-of-the-art hospital on Van Ness Avenue in 2019. Planning for the redevelopment of the CPMC site has been ongoing with the community since 2015. In early 2017, a Preliminary Project Application (PPA) and Environmental Evaluation (EE) were submitted to begin the formal City of San Francisco review process. We anticipate that a draft EIR will be available in 2019.
Please visit this website for information, background, and upcoming meetings regarding planning for the reuse of the 3700 California Street hospital property.
SITE HISTORY
CPMC has operated a hospital at 3700 California since 1887. Buildings on the property today date back to 1938. The character of the historic hospital site has changed over the years as buildings have been remodeled and added, yielding a very different campus today than what was visible in 1938.
The photos below show the 3700 California site over the years.

Representatives from the City have been present at these meetings. The development team conducted a neighborhood survey with over 300 responses and dozens of neighborhood meetings.

Neighborhood Survey Summer 2015
In the early summer of 2015, TMG Partners, CPMC, and the Visioning Advisory Committee distributed an online survey to over 500 residents who live in the neighborhoods surrounding the property. 315 survey responses were received online and in hard copy form. The results of the survey are summarized below.
- Appreciation for convenience of existing doctor’s offices and pediatric care in the neighborhood.
- Strong concerns about parking, traffic, and noise from the hospital.
- Desirable aspects of the existing neighborhood include high quality architecture, quiet walkable streets with nearby transit and amenities.
- Very high levels of concern for the traffic, parking, and noise impacts of new development.
- High levels of support for new, high-quality housing for families, seniors, and couples including condominiums, move up or down buyers, and luxury housing.
- Strong desire to have all new land uses parked on-site.
- Strong desire for new development to be consistent with the quality and character of existing neighborhood architecture.
