I. NARRATIVE
A. HISTORY OF THE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER COMMUNITY UNIT PLAN
The Washington University Medical Center consists of a collection of the premier healthcare and research institutions in the City of St. Louis (the "City") and the United States. These institutions provide invaluable healthcare resources to the City and its residents, while simultaneously engaging in cutting-edge research and serving as the premier center for health education in the country. The Washington University Medical Center also serves as a major source of employment for the City and is uniquely situated adjacent to the City's dynamic Central West End and Forest Park Southeast neighborhoods.
The Washington University Medical Center has long been governed by a plan previously submitted to the City, as the same has been amended from time to time (as amended to the date hereof, the "Existing Plan"). The Existing Plan has served for over three decades as guidance for the City in issuing its approval with respect to activities within the area governed by the Existing Plan, such approvals including, without limitation, building permits, variances, certificates of occupancy, street vacations, and sign approvals.
Barnes-Jewish Hospital ("BJH") is a key member of the Washington University Medical Center. BJH is committed to the City as BJH (and its predecessors, Barnes Hospital and Jewish Hospital) has provided health-care services to the St. Louis community for over 100 years. Currently, BJH is the only adult hospital within the City limits that delivers babies. BJH has remained, invested and grown in the City even as many other hospitals relocated to St. Louis County and beyond. BJH was once again ranked among one of the ten best hospitals in America by US News & World Report. In addition, BJH consistently provides more charity care than any other hospital in the State of Missouri, and, in 2004 alone, BJC HealthCare hospitals provided more than $160 million in charity and uncompensated care. BJC HealthCare, parent of BJH and St. Louis Children's Hospital, maintains its corporate headquarters in the City and over 15,000 of BJC HealthCare's 26,000 employees are based in the City, providing the City with approximately $5 million in annual earnings taxes.
The Washington University School of Medicine ("WUSM") has a rich history of success in research, education and patient care, earning it a reputation as one of the premier medical schools in the world. Founded in 1891, the School has trained thousands of physicians and has contributed groundbreaking discoveries in many areas of medical research. The WUSM is internationally known for research in neuroscience, genomics, genetics, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, immunology, diagnostic imaging and many other areas. Nineteen Nobel Laureates have been associated with the WUSM. The WUSM currently has more than 1,660 full-time faculty members and is the fourth largest recipient of funding from the National Institutes of Health among the 123 U.S. medical schools. In U.S. News & World Report's annual ranking of graduate schools, the WUSM ranked fourth overall in 2007, and first in student selectivity for the tenth consecutive year.
St. Louis Children's Hospital ("SLCH") is one of the premier children's hospitals in the United States serving children in the St. Louis region and from around the world. As the pediatric teaching hospital for the Washington University School of Medicine, SLCH, which earned Magnet nursing status in 2005, offers nationally recognized programs for physician training and research. In 2007, Child magazine ranked SLCH #7 on the list of the "10 Best Children's Hospitals in the Country."
Pursuant to St. Louis City Ordinance 67477, BJH amended and restated its lease of the area commonly known as "Hudlin Park" (the "Lease"), consisting of approximately 9.4 acres located in the City, as more particularly described in Exhibit B attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, in order to better serve its health, education, and research mission, as well as the health needs of the population of the City. BJH wishes to include this approximately 9.4 acres (the "Hudlin Expansion") in the CUP Area in order to further both its institutional mission and the purposes of the Lease. BJH desires to improve further its existing buildings and facilities and to replace, erect or install permanent improvements upon the Hudlin Expansion as an integral part of the operations of BJH and its affiliated institutions in accordance with the terms of the Lease. BJH has agreed, pursuant to the terms of the Lease, that not less than 15% of the Hudlin Expansion shall be maintained as green space.
Furthermore, the Washington University Medical Center wishes to amend the terms of the Plan in order to facilitate the continued integration of the CUP Area (including the Hudlin Expansion) into the greater surrounding neighborhoods and to further the Washington University Medical Center's commitment to providing world class health care in a first class physical environment for patients, employees and neighbors. The institutions comprising the Washington University Medical Center have been good neighbors and partners with the Forest Park Southeast and Central West End neighborhoods for decades, providing more than $50,000,000 in grants and investments during such time. The Washington University Medical Center recognizes the Central West End and Forest Park Southeast as outstanding urban neighborhoods and wishes to amend the terms of the Plan to provide, amongst other things, for (a) the integration of mixed use and street level retail where appropriate, particularly fronting and north of Forest Park Parkway; and (b) continued integration of transportation networks, including highways and particularly mass-transit through Metrolink.
B. CURRENT GEOGRAPHIC SCOPE OF THE PLAN AREA
The geographical area currently governed by the Existing Plan consists of approximately 137 acres (not including streets and alleys, except boundary streets) (the "Current Area"), with approximate boundaries of Kingshighway Boulevard to the west, Laclede Avenue to the north, Boyle Avenue to the east, and U.S. Highway 40 / Interstate 64 to the south, as more particularly depicted on the site plan attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit C (the "Current Site Plan").
C. CURRENT OWNERSHIP OF THE COMMUNITY UNIT PLAN AREA
All of the Current Area is owned by the Washington University Medical Center and its affiliated entities. Ownership of the particular buildings, facilities, and land is more particularly set forth in Current Site Plan.
D. SUMMARY OF EXISTING LAND USE
The Current Area is currently used for healthcare, research, and educational purposes as well as ancillary supporting retail uses (such as bookstores, gift shops, and cafeterias) and other supporting uses such as parking as more particularly depicted on the Current Site Plan. The Hudlin Expansion is currently used as an underground parking garage and for above-ground park purposes and is not a part of the Current Area or Current Site Plan. In addition, a summary of completed projects and boundary changes that have occurred over the past four years is set forth in the attached Exhibit D.
E. CURRENT PARKING RESOURCES
A summary of recent changes to the parking areas within the Current Area is set forth in the attached Exhibit E.
F. RELATIONSHIP OF THE COMMUNITY UNIT PLAN TO MAJOR THOROUGHFARES
The Current Area is served by major roadways, including Kingshighway Boulevard and Forest Park Parkway. In addition, the Current Area adjoins U.S. Highway 40 / Interstate 64. The Current Area is served by the City's mass transit services, including Metro buses and Metrolink, with a station located within the Current Area. The Current Area's relation to major thoroughfares is more particularly depicted on the Current Site Plan.
G. SUMMARY OF CURRENT UTILITY RESOURCES
A summary of currently available utility resources is set forth on Exhibit F.
H. RELATIONSHIP OF THE COMMUNITY UNIT PLAN TO THE ADJACENT AREA
The Current Area is located adjacent to a vibrant area of the City and a key component of the City's growing biomedical research and educational community. The Current Area is adjacent to the Central West End neighborhood and directly north of the Forest Park Southeast neighborhood. The Current Area is bordered by Forest Park on the west, with the Danforth Campus of Washington University farther west. Saint Louis University's campus and the midtown area of the City are a short drive east on Forest Park Parkway. In the area between Saint Louis University and the Current Area, the CORTEX project is progressing towards further bolstering the City's biomedical research industry and better taking advantage of its two great research universities. The Current Area is both highly visible and accessible from one of the City's major highways, U.S. Highway 64 / Interstate 40.

II. PLAN FOR DEVELOPMENT
The Washington University Medical Center and its institutions have made long-term commitments to the City of St. Louis as evidenced by the investments in the renewal and expansion of the Washington University Medical Center campus and the surrounding neighborhoods. BJH, SLCH and the WUSM are internationally recognized and help to further the position and reputation of the City of St. Louis. The Washington University Medical Center is committed to continue providing outstanding health care services to the St. Louis region and expansion of the area governed by the Plan is necessary to ensure that the campus can meet the future health care needs of the region. As background to this CUP, the attached Exhibit G sets forth the Washington University Medical Center's preliminary plans for construction, renovation and development over the next ten (10) years, which plans are intended to further the growth necessary to meet such future health care needs of the region while simultaneously furthering the Washington University Medical Center's educational and research missions.
[Balance of page left blank intentionally.]
III. COMMUNITY UNIT PLAN GUIDELINES
Section 26.80.070 of the Revised Code of the City of St. Louis provides that if a community unit plan is approved, "building permits and certificates of occupancy may be issued therefore, even though the use of land, height and location of structures…does not conform in all respect to the zoning district regulations." The Washington University Medical Center and the City agree, however, that the following provisions should guide (a) the City in its issuance of approvals for building permits, variances, street closures, certificates of occupancy, and sign approvals with respect to the CUP Area; and (b) the Washington University Medical Center in its future development, in order to ensure growth sufficient to fulfill its health, educational, and research missions while simultaneously further integrating the CUP Area into the surrounding urban neighborhood and the City as a whole.
A. HEIGHT

CURRENT UTILITY RESOURCES
Electric Power
Barnes-Jewish Hospital south (BJH south)
Electric power appears to be adequate.
Washington University School of Medicine
The completion of the McKinley substation has provided additional electrical
capacity for the Medical School campus.
Steam
Barnes-Jewish
Steam capacity is adequate. In 2000, a new boiler was added to the Jewish Power
plant to address future growth. A new steam line was just installed from the
Jewish Power plant to the south side of the hospital campus, providing the south
campus with redundant source of steam.
Washington University School of Medicine
The conversion from coal to gas in the Euclid Power Plant has created space for
future steam generation capacity. In the conversion project, two coal boilers
were removed and replaced by one natural gas boiler. That project was completed
in 2004. In fall of 2007, two additional boilers were added.
Water
The WUSM has extended a 12" water main from Barnes-Jewish Plaza Drive down Scott Avenue to increase flow to the Power Plant and buildings on Scott Avenue. It has been determined that the current water main distribution system appears adequate to support the Washington University Medical Center campus.
Sewer
Sewer capacity appears to be adequate.
Natural Gas
Natural gas capacity appears to be adequate.
Communications
The communication feeder loop throughout the Medical Center campus is currently adequate to maintain support for all institutions.

BJC HealthCare purchased the Arrow Hydraulic Building at 710 S. Newstead. .37 acres
BJH, with St. Louis City and the St. Louis City Parks System have extended and amended the Lease. The extension of the CUP to include the Hudlin Expansion will increase the area within the Community Unit Plan by 9.4 acres.
The WUSM is in preliminary discussions with Shriner's Hospital for the sale of 3.75 acres at the corner of Newstead and Clayton Avenues. If this transaction occurs, Shriner's Hospital would commit to relocating its hospital, currently located in Frontenac, to this site within 7 years of the sale date.
The acquisition of these properties, together with the inclusion of the Hudlin Expansion pursuant to the Lease, will increase the area to be covered by the CUP to 148.19 acres, excluding street, sidewalks, etc. (approximately 166 acres including internal streets and alleys). This expanded CUP Area is described and depicted on Exhibit A.
B. PROPOSED DEVELOPMENTS
The following paragraphs set forth the developments that the Washington University Medical Center anticipates undertaking over the next 10 years, including numerous construction projects. Although the Washington University Medical Center has endeavored to provide as much detail as possible, certain details of such projects may need to be revised over time as the medical, research, and educational fields present constant evolving challenges and the Washington University Medical Center must be able to adapt to best fulfill its healthcare, educational, and research missions. Accordingly, the Washington University Medical Center and the City agree that such plans are preliminary and for background purposes only, and further agree that changes in such plans shall not constitute a change in use for purposes of this CUP.
The Washington University Medical Center envisions the following major facility demolitions and developments over the next 10 years; the Washington University Medical Center has a commitment to renew its campus due to changing needs and acknowledges that the following is not a complete list of all major demolitions and developments that will occur over the next 10 years:
1. BJC HealthCare
As part of the Washington University Medical Center Master Plan, BJC is considering the following:
a. The demolition of the WUSM Renard building, the Barnes Central, Service, and Peters buildings, to make way for replacement bed spaces, diagnostic areas, and support functions.
b. The demolition and development of the Ettrick Building site to allow for the relocation and expansion of the current resident clinic facilities. The proposed multi-story building may contain approximately 200,000 square feet, structured for future vertical expansion.
c. The demolition of the Barnes-Jewish College of Nursing (JCON) and Allied Health building and preliminary planning for future expansion of SLCH in that location.
d. The demolition of the 4949 Forest Park Avenue Clinic building and the planning of a parking garage extension.
e. The preliminary planning of replacement bed spaces, diagnostic areas and support functions on the Hudlin Expansion.
f. The demolition of the Kingshighway and Steinberg buildings may occur toward the end of this 10 year period.
g. Further build-out of the Clayton Avenue Building will occur in the next 10 years.
h. SLCH is proposing to expand their operating rooms in 2008.
i. SLCH is proposing to renovate 9 East and 9 West Inpatient Divisions in 2008.
j. BJH is proposing the reconstruction of unit 4400-4500 patient division in the East Pavilion building, to an ICU unit. Construction is scheduled to start mid 2009.

l. BJH is in the planning stages of a Protein Beam Therapy program to be located on the lower level of the north garage. Construction is expected to start early 2008.
m. BJH is proposing to relocate the Special Care Nursery to the Barnes Administration building to allow for the expansion of Division 4400/4500. Construction is expected to start late 2008.
n. BJH is proposing to renovate Division 17300 of West Pavilion into an inpatient unit that will accept the relocation of GYN patients from the 4400/4500 unit.
2. Washington University School of Medicine
a. The continuation of planning in the BJC Institute of Health building (later phases) over the next 10 years, including the potential of a new 10 story building on that site.
b. Plans are being drawn up to possibly re-skin the building at 4500 Parkview, and a possible short-term expansion to the east. Future plans include the possible demolition of the building and its replacement in another location on campus.
c. Preliminary planning is taking place for future office needs. A potential site is the "Coal Bunker" site (corner of Children's Place and Euclid).
d. Planning is underway to either demolish or renovate the old Shriner's Hospital at the corner of Euclid and Clayton Avenues.
e. Future planning includes the demolition of the Storz Building, 4570 Children's Place, for a new lab/office building.
f. Future planning includes building research space on the parking lot south of McKinley at Taylor.
g. At 4444 Forest Park, plans are underway for a third phase to the Center for Genome Sciences on the 6th floor, and potential expansion(s) to the building for the Department of Physical Therapy.

The current thinking is that the new dormitory would be located adjacent to the Olin Dormitory, on the south side, fronting on McKinley Ave.
i. Design is underway for the renovation of the north half of the 2nd floor of McMillan. This project will change existing research surgery space into wet lab research space. Construction is expected to begin in Spring, 2008.
j. Future planning includes potential renovations to or demolition of the Clean City Squares building, 4356 - 4390 Duncan Ave.
k. Future planning includes demolition of the existing Crescent Electric building at 4340 Duncan, as a potential development site.
l. Future planning includes a new research building on Scott Avenue, just east of the East McDonnell research building.
m. Future lab renovations will occur, backfilling vacated labs that move to the new BJC Institute of Health (BRB 1) research building located at the corner of Euclid and Children's Place.
n. The 'Coal Bunker' located at the corner of Children's Place and Euclid will be demolished in November, 2007.
o. WUSM is in the early planning stages for a 5,000 to 10,000 square foot building to process hazardous waste from research labs. Current location could be on McKinley Rd, near the McKinley substation.
3. Washington University Medical Center
a. Public Realm Improvement Plan (Later Phases):
Street improvements, including sidewalks, lighting and landscaping, will occur in segments throughout the remainder of the Medical Center.
Planning for additional Public Realm work includes the south side of Forest Park Avenue, between Euclid and Taylor, the west side of Taylor between Duncan and Forest Park Avenue.b. The Missouri Department of Transportation, with the Medical Center, is proceeding with Public Realm design of the ramps and overpass at Kingshighway and I-64/Hwy 40, as a part of the New I-64 project.
c. Improvements to Taylor Avenue, from the south of Clayton Avenue to Oakland, are being considered by Urban Design Associates, consultants for the Forest Park Southeast Neighborhood Plan. A Taylor/Oakland Avenue link would calm traffic in the neighborhood and provide good access to the parking facilities east of Taylor Avenue when approached from the south.
d. The widening of Taylor Avenue from Forest Park Avenue south to Duncan was completed in August, 2007. Two left turn lanes onto westbound Forest Park Avenue are included in this project. A future extension to Children's Place is being considered.
e. Plans to either renovate or demolish the 818 S. Euclid Avenue building are being reviewed at this time to determine the most efficient use of the building and property.
C. PROPOSED CHANGES TO PARKING
The following summary sets forth recent changes in the parking areas within the Current Area as well as anticipated short-term changes in parking:
1. BJC HealthCare. BJH currently anticipates patient and visitor parking demand to remain somewhat flat.
2. Washington University School of Medicine.
a. Current parking is adequate. The WUSM has provided free Metrolink/ Metrobus passes to its employees and the result of this effort has decreased the number of parking permits for employees by more than 750 cars.
b. The WUSM anticipates that employee parking demand will increase as it develops additional research facilities on campus over the next decade. This increase will be partially offset by some movement of clinical activity to other off-campus sites.
c. The construction of the new Data Center at 225 S. Newstead will eliminate 22 parking spaces from lot number 219.
D. PROPOSED CHANGES IN ACCESS
Changes in access to the CUP Area will be required in order to integrate the Hudlin Expansion. Such changes will include public works required to be addressed by the City pursuant to Section 5 of the Lease, including the study, design and performance of road work, in connection with the improvement of vehicular, pedestrian and bike access to Clayton Avenue in order to improve access to and from Forest Park and to coordinate with the changes being made to Kingshighway and the ramp from westbound I-64/40 to northbound Kingshighway and the reconstruction and improvement of Clayton Avenue from Euclid to McKinley/Wilken and McKinley Wilken to I-64/40. In addition, further changes may be required as a result of the Missouri Department of Transportation's ongoing construction with respect to Interstate 64/40.
E. PROPOSED CHANGES TO UTILITY RESOURCES
The following is a brief summary of anticipated short-term changes in utility resources:
Electric Power
Washington University School of Medicine
The upgrade and relocation of the Euclid substation is under construction and expected to complete in the summer of 2008. These upgrades will be sufficient to address power growth needs for the near future.Water
Within the new BJC Institute of Health (BRB 1) project, an existing 6" line on Children's Place will be upgraded to a 12" line, creating a partial 12" loop, from Kingshighway to Forest Park Avenue, on the northern side of campus.
F. PROPOSED CHANGES TO RELATIONSHIP OF THE CUP AREA TO ADJOINING PROPERTIES
The Washington University Medical Center anticipates future development of properties fronting Forest Park Parkway and/or located north of Forest Park Parkway to incorporate retail and mixed uses, so as to further integrate these properties into the urban environment of the Central West End. Within this area:
Parking structures are allowed provided any part of the garage within 13' of grade must be setback 33' from the street. Above that height the garage can extend to the street edge - at the second level. Facades of parking structures shall be designed to complement the streetscape.
The use of the area in front of the setback (garage entrances are encouraged not to be along the primary façade) as practical, may include active uses that encourage pedestrian activity. If the area in front of the setback does not include active uses, architectural treatments shall be incorporated at street level to screen parked cars from view.In addition, the Washington University Medical Center anticipates the following additional potential developments: (i) development of a park in the Forest Park Southeast neighborhood; (ii) continued maintenance of parks east of Kingshighway south of Clayton Ave.; and (iii) construction of multi-story buildings which takes into account the retail needs of the CUP Area and surrounding community in balance with the healthcare and research mission of the Washington University Medical Center.
