CITY COURT FACILITY PROJECT DESIGN-BUILD AMENDMENT GMP #1 OVERVIEW – TONIGHT’S DISCUSSION POINTS PROJECT LOCATION PROJECT ELEVATION DRAWING PROJECT INFORMATION CURRENT PLAN REVIEW STATUS PUBLIC MEETING SUMMARY Community Development Director Dan Folke indicated that there are concerns about parking and connections with the ballot language. When the court opens there will be 90 surface parking spaces at the old court location and there are 19 new spaces next to the new courthouse restricted for staff. An additional $2 million has been allocated for identifying alternative parking. Councilmember McCarthy expressed concerns about no accessible parking spaces at the court facility. He indicated that having accessible parking two blocks away is problematic. Councilmember Whelan indicated that there was discussion at one point about parking beneath the building. Ms. Cameron explained that there were significant budget constraints and it was not able to be included in the design. Mr. Folke stated that staff will look at other options regarding accessible parking onsite. Councilmember Whelan stated that the citizens passed a ballot measure in 2016 that approved a new courthouse and 200 additional parking spaces. She stated that it is necessary to figure it out and tell the citizens how long the 200 spaces are going to take to deliver. Vice Mayor Shimoni indicated that he would like to get the appropriate parking onsite. He expressed concerns that parking was supposed to be part of the plan and now it is not. Ms. Cameron offered that there is opportunity for parking with the nearby mixed use development. Ms. Cameron continued the presentation. AMENDMENT #1, GMP #1 Councilmember Whelan asked how much parking could be acquired for $2 million. Ms. Cameron explained that staff’s rough calculations for a parking garage is about $20,000 to $30,000 per parking space. Councilmember Aslan asked how the demolition aligns with the Climate Action and Adaptation Plan (CAAP). Ms. Cameron explained that Public Works is taking out all the useable materials as they can, and Community Development is working with the Landfill and Sustainability to identify options and reuse opportunities. Mayor Evans indicated that parking continues to be a concern and she is excited to see the project move forward and to have a safe and functional facility for the community. Councilmember McCarthy stated that it is a good and immediate project and appreciates staff looking into a way to accommodate ADA parking on site. |
