01 CULVER CITY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN

PROJECT SUMMARY & CONTEXT
Project Summary and Background
The Wende Museum and Archive of the Cold War Inc. (the “Wende”), a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, is an art museum, historical archive, and center for community engagement. In 2014, the City adopted by Ordinance No. 2014-001, a Comprehensive Plan CP P2013176 (the “Comprehensive Plan”) for the Wende Museum at the Armory (the “Museum”), encompassing approximately 38,305 square feet (Lots 14-30 of Tract 9974, “Area 1”) of a larger parcel (Lots 1-30), measuring 1.55 acres (49,571.25 square feet), to facilitate the Museum’s use of the 13,073 square foot Armory building located at 10808 Culver Boulevard (Phase One). Pursuant to the Comprehensive Plan, the Wende Museum has made its home at the Armory since 2017.

Comprehensive Plan Amendment No. 1 (“Amendment No. 1”) expands the boundaries of the Comprehensive Plan to encompass an additional 11,267 square feet (Lots 9-13 of Tract 9974) (the “Expansion Area”) of property to the west of the existing Museum site, for a total of 49,571 square feet of lot area (1.12 acres for lots 9-30).

The Expansion Area is comprised of two areas, which includes 6,759.75 square feet to be used for a Creative Community Center (“Area 2”) and 4,507 square feet to be used for future affordable housing and community garden (“Area 3”). The purpose of Amendment No. 1 is to provide for the redevelopment of 1) the former AmVets property at 10858 Culver Boulevard (Lots 11, 12, and 13 of Tract 9974) into a new Creative Community Center adjacent to the Museum (“Phase Two”), and 2) the westerly portion of the Expansion Area (Lots 9 and 10 of Tract 9974) to include a publicly-accessible garden and up to six affordable housing units (“Phase Three”). Inclusive of the proposed Expansion Area, the new boundary of the Comprehensive Plan is referred to herein as the “Project Site.” Under Phase Two, Amendment No. 1 would allow the demolition of a 2,200 square foot building and construction of 5,102 square feet of new space on Area 2. An existing 1,920 square foot A-Frame building at the site will be retained and combined with the new 5,102 square feet to create a 7,022 square foot Creative Community Center.

The proposed uses for the Creative Community Center include meeting and gathering spaces, archives and artifact storage, presentation, and conservation; a demonstration garden; lectures and conferences; programs; tutoring; art classes; music and dancing events; celebrations; and performances. The existing garden at the Museum would be expanded to connect and integrate the new development with the existing Museum and sculpture garden. Phase Three will allow for the future repurposing of the existing community garden space on Area 3 to accommodate the development of six affordable housing units and a new publicly accessible garden.

Consistent with the Culver City Municipal Code (CCMC), the amended Comprehensive Plan is anticipated to be completed within four years of Amendment No. 1’s approval. Implementation of Phase Two is scheduled to commence shortly after approval of Amendment No. 1, with construction anticipated to begin in January 2022 and be completed by the end of 2022. Implementation of Phase Three will proceed subject to City approval of required permits a Planning Commission design conformance review.

Project Context
The Site anchors a mile-long stretch of arts venues along Culver Boulevard, including several dozen permanent public art installations, live music venues and theaters (The Actors’ Gang, Kirk Douglas Theatre) and museums (The Wende Museum and the Culver City Historical Society). It connects the downtown arts district with the 405 Freeway, the city’s westside artery, creating a “cultural corridor” .” The Museum repurposed a former armory that had been used as a seasonal homeless shelter and the surrounding open land, establishing a new cultural landmark for Culver City. The Site is located on the south side of Culver Boulevard, between Coombs Avenue and Elenda Street.

It is surrounded predominantly by residential subdivisions to the north, south, and west, and by Veterans Park to the east. The Site is fronted by a wide surface public parking lot and concrete sidewalk extending the entire length of this block and the block to the east (in front of Veterans Memorial Park). A wide landscaped median containing evergreen trees separates the parking lot and sidewalk from Culver Boulevard. The parcel area between the Site’s western boundary and Elenda Street are occupied by the Boy Scouts Hut and Rock and Mineral Club (10866 Culver Blvd), and paddle tennis courts.

Project Objectives
• Demonstrate a comprehensive vision for the future growth and development of the site with a focus on culture, art, and affordable housing.
• Create a ‘master plan’ that identifies permitted uses that contribute to the community and the City’s cultural resources.
• Strengthen the identity and impact of the “Culver City Cultural Corridor” • Provide for the development of affordable housing units that have a synergy with the Wende Museum and Creative Community Center and the surrounding community. • Holistically address complimentary City priorities of fostering cultural resources and creation of affordable housing.
• Adaptively reuse existing resources in promotion of City priorities.

PHASE ONE - WENDE MUSEUMii
Phase One Objectives
• Establish permanent facilities for the Wende Museum and Archive of the Cold War at the former National Guard Armory.
• Activate an underused civic space by establishing a new museum, art historical archive, and center for community engagement.
• Complement and enhance Culver City’s existing local art and cultural resources. • Adaptively reuse an existing City structure and surrounding property, restoring them in an environmentally responsible manner.

The Museum occupies an existing one-story, 13,073 square foot Armory building located at 10808 Culver Boulevard. Improvements to the building included an internal addition of 950 square feet of mezzanine/storage area. The Museum project also included improvements to the building’s exterior, including the use of smooth stucco and sandblasted concrete as part of the new building façade and fasciae around the building. A surface parking and storage area was repurposed with a sculptural garden, highlighted by new landscaping, decorative pavers and artifact displays. The Museum provides an eco-friendly restoration of the building and its surrounding property as an adaptive re-use that has greatly enhanced the neighborhood.

The Museum provides for programs, separate offices and research workspaces, collections receiving and processing, artifact storage, and increased exhibition space for temporary and permanent exhibitions and public programming to fulfill the Museum’s mission . Storage was improved by establishing microclimates for different collection formats and by transitioning the collection into a combination of visitor-accessible open storage and efficient compact storage. In addition, controlled lighting and increased security follow museum best practices for its rare collection. The Museum operates film screenings, health and wellness classes, gatherings, music and dance performances, museum installations, family day activities, art lessons, exercise and aerobics, gardening and landscaping, demonstrations, readings, lectures, presentations, breakfasts, lunches and dinners, coffee and tea, convening, conferences, and other activities related to a cultural center in the outdoor garden that was developed as part of Phase 1.

13 CULVER CITY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
PHASE TWO - AREA 2: CREATIVE COMMUNITY CENTER
Phase Two Objectives
• Strengthen the identity and impact of the “Culver City Cultural Corridor” • Expand the Wende Museum’s capacity and ability to serve as a community resource by creating additional, more functional facilities for community engagement activities. • Maintain and establish operational, meeting, and educational space for community partners including the United States Veterans’ Artist Alliance, Culver City Unified School District, the Mayme A. Clayton Library and Museum, and Upward Bound House.
• Expand access to Wende Museum resources for scholars, artists, students, journalists, artists, authors, filmmakers, and the general public.
• Adaptively reuse an existing City structure and surrounding property, renovating the AmVets Building in an environmentally responsible manner.

The Expansion Area is comprised of 11,266.25 square feet (Area 2 and Area 3), and is currently developed with a two-story, 4,120 square feet, building at 10858 Culver Boulevard and with a community garden. The existing two- story segment of the building was originally constructed as a single family residence at 3829 Delmas Terrace in approximately 1924. The building was moved to its current site in 1950 for use as Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Culver Palms Post No. 1476. The VFW added the one-story A-Frame structure, 1,920 square feet, to the rear of the two-story segment at that same time. The VFW occupied the building for 45 years, using it not only for its own membership, but also for other civic and veterans groups such as the VFW Post 1476 Ladies Auxiliary, the Knights of Columbus, and American Veterans of World War II, as well as local theater and performance groups.

In 1996, AmVets Post No. 2 took over occupancy of 10858 Culver Boulevard, using the two-story portion of the building for offices and the one-story portion as a multi-purpose assembly space. AmVets remained in the City-owned building until November 5, 2018, vacating the building at that time due to disrepair and structural deficiencies.

Pursuant to the Historic Resource Evaluation prepared by Architectural Resources Group for the City of Culver City in 2019, the building at 10858 Culver Boulevard is eligible for listing as a City of Culver City Cultural Resource, at the Recognized level. This level of designation indicates the building is of architectural, historical, or cultural interest per the Culver City Municipal Code and does not carry protections or requirements for regulation, as it is an honorific designation.

Phase Two of the Comprehensive Plan proposes the demolition of the 2,200 square feet, two-story segment of the building and renovation of the remaining existing 1,920 square foot single-story segment of the building in Area 2.

The renovated portion will be combined with a proposed three-story, 5,102 square foot addition, for a total of 7,022 square feet, to be used as a Creative Community Center, introducing a new gathering place at a key location within the City.

The resulting building will be utilized as a multi-use space, incorporating a multi-purpose room for live performance and literary events, classrooms for dance and art instruction, a demonstration garden, skill-sharing and resource exchange areas, meeting rooms, tutorial offices, dedicated places for hands-on learning opportunities, and exhibition spaces. In addition, it will contain ancillary spaces and uses related to the operation of the facility, including offices, meeting rooms, and a small kitchen facility for on-site catering, as listed below. The Wende will operate the existing Museum and the Creative Community Center together, coordinating programming and use to ensure that the number of visitors on a daily basis at the site will remain consistent with current levels.

Street level landscaping and sculpture will be included in the Project Site’s redevelopment, as well as a rooftop garden. The existing garden at the Museum will be expanded to establish continuity between the new development and the existing Museum and sculpture garden. The Wende will continue to operate film screenings, health and wellness classes, gatherings, music and dance performances, museum installations, family day activities, art lessons, exercise and aerobics, gardening and landscaping, demonstrations, readings, lectures, presentations, breakfasts, lunches and dinners, coffee and tea, convening, conferences, and other activities related to a cultural center in the garden.

14 CULVER CITY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
Phase Two Objectives
The Wende will work closely with partner organizations from the local community, including veterans groups, cultural and non-profit organizations and the Culver City Unified School District (CCUSD) in its operations of the Creative Community Center. For example:
• The Site’s historic affiliation with the veteran community will continue as the United States Veterans’ Artist Alliance will be given access to the renovated, state-of-the-art venue for meetings and performances as well as access to critical services, all free-of-charge.
• Upward Bound House, which works to eliminate homelessness among families with children, will have access to cultural and educational programming offered by the Wende and other partner organizations, as well as use of tutorial and meeting spaces, and special access to the rooftop demonstration garden. • The Mayme A. Clayton Library and Museum (MCLM) in Culver City, an archive of African American culture including documents, books, musical records, and ephemera, will have use of the Creative Community Center for programs, projects, lectures, and special events, in perpetuity. Establishment of the Creative Community Center will enable the Museum to provide permanent exhibition space to MCLM. • The Creative Community Center includes dedicated project-based learning spaces for CCUSD’s elementary, middle, and high schools. The Creative Community Center will be equipped for CCUSD programming, including:
face-to-face oral histories, printmaking workshops, and conflict resolution courses; establishment of a capstone project program on “then-and-now” themes of political movements, civil rights, and social justice. The Creative Community Center will be equipped to support dance, music, and performing arts (in conjunction with Culver City High School’s Academy of Visual and Performing Arts) by providing a flexible assembly space.

Phase Three Objectives
• Build low income artist housing units as a model for the success of affordable housing. • Create low income housing as part of the City’s housing production solutions.

• Build new affordable housing units that have a synergy with the Wende Museum and Creative Community Center by providing affordable housing for low-income artists. • Balance various community needs for affordable housing and a community garden. • Preserve or replace existing community amenities.

Phase Three is a City initiated joint project with Wende that will complement the other Project phases with a repurposed garden and six permanent supportive housing units for low-income homeless artist residents. The existing community garden will be reconfigured to include at-grade garden space adjacent to the housing units as well as in a portion of the existing parking lot, totaling 4,511 square feet of garden space; the existing community garden area is 4,507 square feet. The affordable housing component will be configured to accommodate up to six affordable dwelling units, measuring approximately 325 square feet each.

The City desires to create a synergy between the residents of the affordable housing and the Wende Museum and Creative Community Center. Residents would be low income artists, including those who have been persecuted or censored for their work. Collaboration with these artists would further the goals of the Wende’s mission. Such collaboration would also create benefits for the entire community and the artists themselves.

Architectural design of the residential units will be compatible with the style and quality of the adjacent Creative Community Center. The exact configuration and design of the residential units will be established at a future date through the City’s Conformance Review process. The below renderings demonstrate a design that could be adopted in the future for the affordable housing units, but are for illustrative purposes only.

LAND USE & SITE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS
General Plan
The General Plan Land Use designation of the Project site is Open Space. The Open Space designation is established to protect Culver City’s open space resources that include public or private land. It is designed and intended to preserve existing open space and foster compatible development and recreation opportunities. The proposed Creative Community Center will comport with the Open Space designation requirements of the General Plan.

Zoning
The Site was rezoned April 28, 2014 (ZCMA P2014018, Ordinance No. 2014-001) from Commercial Neighborhood (CN) to Open Space (OS) for General Plan conformance during the Museum entitlements. The purpose of the OS Zoning District is to:

1. Regulate, protect, and preserve publicly accessible land that is well suited for active recreation, amusement, relaxation, and/or scenic viewing.

2. Provide consistency with, and implement policies related to, those locations designated Open Space on the General Plan Land Use Element Map and in the General Plan text.

3. Provide a means for encouraging and promoting desirable park development and open space preservation that are compatible with surrounding neighborhoods and protect the existing quality of life.

4. Ensure that the development of new parks or other open space, as well as major modifications to existing resources, are compatible with surrounding neighborhoods through the adoption of a Comprehensive Plan showing proper orientation, desirable design characteristics and programming, and compatibility of uses.

5. Establish a set of regulations, requirements, and procedures that preclude any degradation in safety, security, and quality of life for residential properties adjacent to any OS-zoned parcels.

Pursuant to Section 17.250.030 of the CCMC, development and use of property within the Open Space Zoning District requires the amendment of the Comprehensive Plan. The Wende Museum was established through a Comprehensive Plan (P2013176) approved by City Council Ordinance No. 2014-001 in 2014. Further, pursuant to the CCMC, major changes to an approved Comprehensive Plan must be considered in the same manner.

The purpose of the Amendment No. 1 is to ensure that the modifications to the Site comport with the requirements of the CCMC and with the surrounding neighborhood through desirable design and use standards. The Comprehensive Plan establishes a set of regulations, requirements, and procedures that help prevent degradation in safety, security, and quality of life for residential properties adjacent to the property. The proposed Creative Community Center and residential uses will be compliant with the Open Space zoning for the site with appropriate design and uses.

Pursuant to the Zoning Code Amendment (P2020-0238-ZCA) adopted by City Council February 8, 2021 (Ordinance No. 2021-001), amending Section 17.400.065 – Mixed Use Development Standards, mixed use development may be allowed in an Open Space (OS) Zone at the discretion of the City Council when approved by City Council resolution based on the following findings:
a. Any displaced park space must be replaced with an equivalent amount of park space on the project site;
b. The project is public serving;
c. The project is consistent with the Purpose described in § 17.250.030.A.1 through A.5 of this Title;
d. The use complies with § 17.250.030 (Open Space District Requirements) of this Title Further, pursuant to Section 17.400.065.D, pertaining to permitted non-residential uses, pedestrian serving uses are required.

With the implementation of Phase 3, the Project will be considered a horizontally integrated mixed use development pursuant to Section 17.400.065, which allows mixed use in OS Zone. In addition, the Project will conform to Section

17.400.065.D, allowing retail/service uses in mixed use projects as an approved use in Comprehensive Plan Amendment No.1 with an equivalent amount of open space on the Project Site and because it is a publicly serving use that complies with the Purposes provisions of Section 17.250.030.A-1 through A 5 and with the Open Space District requirements of Section 17.250.030 of the Zoning Code. The Creative Community Center and community garden uses are considered pedestrian serving consistent with this Section of the Zoning Code.

Land Uses
The allowable land uses for the Project Site include utilization of the Wende Museum and the Creative Community Center as described, including flex space for events, workshops, tutoring, performances, etc. In addition, affordable housing development is also allowed on Area 3 of the Project Site. These uses conform to the intent of the Zoning Code and the General Plan.

Six affordable residential units are permitted in Area 3. Affordable housing built in conjunction with the arts and cultural programing at the Wende will enhance the impact and effectiveness of both community activity and housing.

Residences will have a relationship to the built environment, which offers unique opportunities for both the residents and the community. It is therefore important that the residents selected are integrated into the programming of the Wende campus and the Creative Community Center being built adjacent to housing so that there is a relationship between them. Architectural design of the residential units will follow in the spirit and quality of the adjacent Creative Community Center. The exact configuration and design of the residential units will be refined and established at a further date through the City’s Conformance Review process.

Special Events & Temporary Events
As a cultural institution, from time to time, special events related to the Museum and Creative Community Center operations may occur, as discussed on the Recreational Activity Program section. These events are considered part of the operation of the Museum and Creative Community Center and are permitted without a Special Event Permit.

However, should issues arise from operation of the facility that result in detrimental impacts on the surrounding neighborhood, the City shall have the authority to require the applicant to apply for Special Event Permits, pursuant to Section 17.520 of the CCMC, on a case-by-case basis.

The The Wende will employ a Site Coordinator to ensure that special events minimize impacts to the community and address parking demand and supply.

Development Standards
This Comprehensive Plan provides policies, standards and regulations guiding the development and use of the Project Site. Table 2-1 specifies certain development standards. Specific topics not otherwise addressed or provided in this Comprehensive Plan shall be governed by the Culver City Municipal Code. No provision of this Comprehensive Plan is intended to repeal, abrogate, annul, impair, or interfere with any existing ordinance, resolutions, or policy except: a] as specifically repealed by the adoptions of this Comprehensive Plan; or b] where this Comprehensive Plan’s provisions are more precise or restrictive than the existing Municipal Code. Where provisions of this Comprehensive Plan impose more restrictive regulations than required by any other ordinance, resolution or policy, the provisions of this Comprehensive Plan shall govern.

Modifications to the Comprehensive Plan shall be pursuant to the Culver City Zoning Code, Section 17.560.025 – Comprehensive Plan Modifications, Major and Minor or as amended. In the event of a conflict between the Comprehensive Plan and any other ordinance, resolution or policy, the Director shall have the authority to resolve the conflict and determine what standard applies to the Comprehensive Plan.

Parking
The Project Site is located adjacent to Veterans Park, including a number of recreation facilities, as well as the corresponding public parking lots, which contain a combined total of 305 public parking spaces (see attached Table 1 and Figure 1 from Civic Enterprise Association, LLC March 15, 2013 Wende Museum Parking Utilization Study [the “2013 Parking Utilization Study”]). In addition, per the 2013 Parking Utilization Study there are 100 on-street parking spaces located on the Overland Avenue, Barman Avenue and Coombs Avenue segments adjacent to the park that are for public use, with 86 of the parking spaces available on weekends. The existing public parking will serve the Wende Museum, the Creative Community Center and the affordable housing, as well as the existing uses on the subject parcel to the west and the uses at Veterans Park to the east. No additional parking is required for the uses proposed in Amendment No 1, per the Crain & Associates Parking Demand Study as described below.

Crain & Associates prepared a Parking Demand Study (the “2021 Study”) for Amendment No. 1, based on the 2013 Parking Utilization Study and the Revised Initial Traffic Analysis prepared by the Rifkin Transportation Planning Group approved January 30, 2013 (the “2013 Traffic Analysis”) and the Wende Museum Parking Utilization Study prepared by Civic Enterprise Associates, LLC dated March 15, 2013 (the “2013 Parking Utilization Study”). The parking requirement for the existing Museum based on the Culver City Municipal Code (“Code”) is 38 parking spaces.

The parking requirement for the Creative Community Center is 18 parking spaces and the parking requirement for the affordable housing is 8 parking spaces. Thus, the total Code required parking for the Site would be 64 parking spaces, as shown below.

Based on the data from the 2013 Parking Utilization Study and the methodology approved by the City, peak parking demand at the Site for existing and proposed uses (i.e. for the Museum, Creative Community Center and affordable housing) would be on Sunday at 2:00 and 3:00 pm with an estimated Project demand for 24 vehicles and an existing Wende Museum demand for 38 vehicles resulting in a total existing Wende Museum and Project parking demand of 62 vehicles. During this period, with the Project and other proposed modifications, there would be 99 parking spaces available within Lots 1 and 2, which would be more than enough to accommodate the existing Wende Museum and Project in their entirety, leaving 37parking spaces available for other nearby uses. Phase 3 will require converting 21 parking spaces into community garden space.

The 2021 Study also looked at the peak total parking occupancy rate for Lots 1 and 2. The study concluded that after construction of the Creative Community Center and affordable housing on Saturday at 1:00 and 2:00 PM parking demand would exceed the available 92 parking space supply in Lots 1 and 2 considering cumulative parking reductions. The highest peak would be at 2:00 PM when the parking demand would be 116 vehicles.. A generally accepted standard for off-street parking lots is that peak parking occupancy rates of 85-95% are considered to operate most effectively. For the 2013 Parking Utilization Study, a peak parking occupancy rate of 90% was used as the goal. Although the peak parking occupancy would surpass the Lots 1 and 2 parking supply, when considering the other four off-street public parking lots in the nearby vicinity, there would still be ample parking available to accommodate the operation of the Project. There would be a total of 56 available spaces, or a peak parking occupancy rate of 80%, across all six off-street parking lots. The highest peak parking occupancy across all six parking lots would occur on a Sunday at 11:00 AM with a peak parking occupancy rate of 83%. However, the proposed uses would only comprise of 12 vehicles, contributing approximately 5% of the parking demand for the hour.

accepted standard for off-street parking lots is that peak parking occupancy rates of 85- 95% are considered to operate most effectively. For the 2013 P arking Utilization Study, a peak parking occupancy rate of 90% was used as the goa l. The peak parking occupancy would be on the higher end of the range. However, wh en considering the other four off-street public parking lots in the nearby vicinity, there would still be ample parking available to accommodate the operation of the Project w ith a total of 86 available spaces or a peak parking occupancy rate of 72% across all six off-street parking lots. The highest peak parking occupancy across all si x parking lots would occur on a Sunday at 11:00 AM with a peak parking occupancy rate of 77%. However, the proposed uses would only comprise of 11 vehicles, contributing approximately 5% of the parking demand for the hour.

Based on the above, the existing shared public parking will accommodate the existing and proposed uses. The new Creative Community Center will not result in an increase in number of people at the site beyond the Wende’s existing uses, which include a 173 seat assembly area. The Wende will hire a full-time Program Co ordinator for 10858 Culver Blvd to ensure that major events never occur at the same time at the Museum and at the Creative Community Center. The Program Coordinator will facilitate both externally with groups and individuals that might want to use the Creative Community Center, and internally to ensure that the Museum avoids double-booking major events (over 100 people) on the same n ight that the Creative Community Center is hosting another audience. Furthermore, since the Museum’s events are already attended by up to 500 guests—far past the potential capacity of the Creative Community Center— no net increase in parking or traffic demand is expected with Amendment No. 1.

Landscape
Parking
Based on the above, the existing pool of public parking will accommodate the existing and proposed uses, though it will be reduced to accommodate the reconfiguration of the community garden in Phase 3. The new Creative Community Center will not result in an increase in number of people at the site beyond the Wende’s existing uses, which include a 173 seat assembly area. The Wende will hire a full-time Program Coordinator for 10858 Culver Blvd to ensure that major events never occur at the same time at the Museum and at the Creative Community Center. The Program Coordinator will facilitate both externally with groups and individuals that might want to use the Creative Community Center, and internally to ensure that the Museum avoids double-booking major events (over 100 people) on the same night that the Creative Community Center is hosting another audience. Furthermore, since the Museum’s events are already attended by up to 500 guests, which far exceeds the capacity of the Creative Community Center, no net increase in parking or traffic demand is expected with Amendment No. 1.

All parking is under the jurisdiction of Parks, Recreation, and Community Services (PRCS). To the extent that the Creative Community Center requires reserved spaces, approval must occur through the PRCS process, which may require a rental fee for such parking spaces.

Table 1 and Figure 1 From 2013 Parking Utilization Study

LAND USE & SITE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS
1 For parking purposes, the Creative Community Center consists of two components: one component is an 88-seat theater and the other is the functional extension of the museum: meeting rooms, classrooms, and office space. Use of both components at the same time shall be prohibited. Per the municipal code, the theater requires 18 parking spaces (1 space/5 fixed seats, totaling 17.6 parking spaces), while the meeting rooms, classrooms, and office space require 16 parking spaces (1 space/350 square feet, totaling 15.9 parking spaces). Accordingly, the Creative Community Center is required to provide 18 parking spaces, the greater number of these two requirements for the individual components.

LANDSCAPE
The Wende Museum garden will be a place of beauty, repose, and contemplation, but also a place for thinking about and confronting the complexities and tensions inherent in the collection itself, and tensions between a piece’s origin versus the Museum location, i.e. East v. West, Communism v. Capital- ism, Europe v. Southern California, Open v. Closed, Controlled/Constrained v. Free/Unconstrained, Art v. Propaganda. The tension and intimate connection between Eastern Europe and California is intended to be foregrounded throughout the Museum site. Los Angeles was the US capital of the Cold War, where most of the aerospace industry was based. The military-industrial complex, with its tight linkages between the armed forces, research universities, and corporations, found a perfect fit in the open, sunny, individualistic lifestyle of Southern California. The iconography of Southern California modernity, exemplified by the horizontal concrete building, and the skyline of palm trees, will be made explicit, against a series of controlled, European garden forms.

The basic principle is the bordering of the garden space with a classical hedge form, while Modernist forms and patterns serve as the backbone of the site. A visitor will walk through meandering spaces, with some views partially obscured by planting or decorative block walls, discovering the places where openings allow themto proceed, discovering new spaces and objects as they proceed. The objects will be worked into the landscape, some on plinths and some freestaning. The Expandable Space Hall, an East German modular building, will punctuate the view looking west from the Museum, and will act as a wall as well, blocking the way, but equally as an art object that can be walked around.

Subtropical vegetation will be planted throughout, such as specimen palms, dragon trees, aloes, and cactus, some of which will be “displayed” just like the objects, against hedges or walls. They, like the Cold War itself, especially the weaponry and the control structures like the Wall, will be at once beauti- ful, menacing, and sublime. At the center of the garden will be a large decomposed granite courtyard, which can be used to host events, movies, lectures, etc. Specimen trees and palms accentuate the modernity of the space, and provide shade. A lower garden, which will be visible from the sidewalk outside, will serve as an intimate space to display objects and for quieter contemplation.

The Culver Boulevard frontage will have a steel fence of rectangular pickets with no top rail, similar to the fence on the 6th street side of LACMA. The fence, coupled with shrubs and palms of varying heights, will allow passerby and drivers will be able to see partial views of pieces of the Berlin Wall segment, and other statues, lit at night.

The front of the Museum will be scattered with clusters of palms and boulders, with lower plants throughout a gravel mulch and decomposed granite groundcover. This motif continues along the parking lot edge, where groups of fan palms provide verticality to the building’s horizontal nature.

These are space of contemplation, symbolizing the coming together and resolution of reunification and the end of the Cold War’s decades of confrontation and conflict.
