Application filed · Jul 1, 2026

An application asks the City to give up the 0.17-acre cul-de-sac at the end of Children's Way, east of 8105 Birmingham Way on the hospital campus. The City calls this a street vacation: the street would stop being a public street. The City lists 8105 Birmingham Way as one of the addresses of the Rady Children's Hospital main campus.

The City's notice of application, dated September 10, 2026, says the site is in the CO-1-2 zone. It also says the project is going through environmental review.

Next: The City Council will decide at a public hearing, where anyone can speak. The City calls this Process 5. The notice says the City will mail a second notice with the hearing's date, time and place.

No hearing date has been published. The City's permit record shows the application is waiting for the applicant to send revised plans ("recheck required").

Planning group: The planning group has not taken a position. Its September 17, 2026 minutes say a member will follow up on it. Its November–December 2026 newsletter lists the application as a future agenda item.
