Background
Sunrise Retirement is proposing to amend the City’s “General Plan” to change the definition of “Public Institutional Zone” so that they can build an independent living facility on the old Westlake Hospital site. Westlake Village’s City Council has the ability to vote for or against this change.
The Sunrise proposal is for 210+ units (170 of which are independent living apartments starting at a cost of about $4000/mo. including utilities, other services at additional cost). This is different from a nursing home, or assisted living. Features include such things as dining, library, multi-purpose room, exercise areas, spa, massage therapy, transportation services and more are part of the proposal.
Because the property is zoned the unusual “Public Institutional” zoning type, the City can vote to leave the zoning definition as is (which would not allow for the Sunrise development). While no development can move forward without the consent of the current owners (HCA/Los Robles Hospital), many have made the suggestion that the city investigate options such as Community Center, Park, Pool, Dog Park, Garden, Museum … or just leave for future development.
