RECOMMENDATION

FUNDING
None required.
DISCUSSION
On July 25, 2023, the City Council awarded a consulting services agreement to Gruen Associates following a competitive Request for Proposals (RFP No. B2023-04) process. Gruen Associates was selected based on their top-ranked proposal to prepare the Torrance Civic Center Master Plan and Economic Feasibility Study.
On September 10, 2024, the City Council approved the first amendment to the agreement, which exercised the first one-year extension option and added a 10% contingency budget. On July 8, 2025, the City Council approved the second amendment to the agreement, which exercised the second one-year extension option, with the agreement expiring on July 31, 2026.
City staff recommends executing the third amendment to extend the agreement by seventeen (17) months through December 31, 2027. The extension is necessary to complete remaining phases of the Civic Center Master Plan.
This extension does not increase the contract amount and is within the authorized scope of the original agreement and contingency budget.

The approximately 370,000 sf of existing facilities are parked at 3.3 spaces per 1,000 sf of area. The site FAR is .28 and the highest structure on the property is the Armstrong Theatre at 64 feet. The Civic Center (owned and operated by the City) is historically a cost center that operates at a negative cash flow position annually.
State Property
Adjoining the Civic Center property is a S-story (89' high) Los Angeles County Courthouse (and adjacent low- rise annex)and BB0 surface parking spaces on 10.35 acres owned by the State of California. The approximately 140,000 sf of improvements on this property at the southwest corner of Civic Center Drive and Maple Avenue drive a FAR of only .31 . The property is parked at a ratio of 6.3/1000. Although not technically included in the scope of this RFp, this state property is strategic, should be accounted for from a coordinated access and circulation approach and has the potential to play a key role in the ultimate development of the Civic Center property.
The Project Rationale
Rising real estate demand and associated value of land in the market introduces the potential to monetize a portion of the Civic Center property and convert the site from a cost center to a profit center, producing new sources of City cash flow (ground leases and incremental tax revenues). The impetus for the project is the improved public sector services and net cash flow that private sector additions to the site can generate.
The Vision
18 The vision of this Master Plan project is to capitalize on the centralized location of the Civic Center to function as a hub for all things Torrance not just destination for government services, while creating a compelling, cohesive 3O-acre site including new, compatible, income-producing, private-sector uses that:
1) Serve Torrance residents, visitors, and businesses as a central hub featuring a wide range of activities; 2) Create new cash flow to increase City revenues and to fund selected Civic Center public sector capital investments and ongoing operating costs.
The City of Torrance is considering redeveloping the Civic Center to more efficiently utilize the land and real estate fotential by exploring a consolidated City operating footprint, façade modernizations and incorporating structured parking, where aþpropriate, to allow for development of relocated replacement public facilities, such as the plunge, and integrating both income producing commercial (retail, hotel, office and residential elements) to provide nãw local "rþloyr*nt
opportunities and generate new revenue through long term ground leases and Sales, property, Transient Óccupancy and Utility Usèr taxes. The current Civic Center site is a highly functional, but under-utilized and disjointed use of public pioperty that lacks a consistent and modernized aesthetic appeal.
To assist in this development, staff is soliciting proposals for a consultant to assist in meeting the vision of Torrance's reimagined Civic Center. This Master Plan and Economic Analysis will allow for a new modern center that provide" spaie for community activities, yielding an aesthetic attraction and improving City pride that can be funded through new private sector revenué geneiation that mitigates capital investment impacts on the City General Fund. The Masier plan would need to óonsider projected land uses and densities, their correlations to potential economic returns, and the associated Zoning and General Plan amendments that would be required.
The Gritical Role of Parking
Assumptions and analysis of parking alternatives at the subject site will be pivotal in projecting the site's physical development potential and its economic viability. The harvesting of surface parking lots enables for modernized public amenities in a more efficient design and new private-sector components to produce primary source of the financial foundation of this project.
Areas of parking analysis should include: dedicated vs shared-parking, contemporary parking ratios by use, percentage of public sector and private sector developed elements and the concept of financed and fee related parking for private sector related development elements. The aesthetics and the economic issues of above- grade and subterranean parking will also be considerations. The site's parking structure locations, financial model, and design (e.g. increased floor to ceiling heights), should accommodate future retro-fitting from parking to alternative uses as California parking demand evolves' A critical tipping point is the cost of constructing replacement parking (structured) compared to the land value of the surface parking lots. The delta between public sector parking structure development costs and private sector parking structure development costs can be considerable and should be accounted for. Project density and the specific mix of uses in the overall public sector and private sector development programs will have significant impacts on the project parking count and the resulting project economics.

Our recent new construction and renovations of civic government buildings have become critical and improved public facilities for communities We will provide renewed, safe, functional, accessible and revenue-generating facilities for the benefit of Civic Center Staff, visitors and Torrance residents.
Gruen Associates has a clear understanding of the project to prepare a master plan and economic feasibility study to determine the best options to enhance the City's ability to serve the Torrance population effectively.

We value the establishment of trusted relationships between our project teams and provide our clients with the personal attention of a snrall firm while taking advantage of the wide range of expertise and technical capability of a large organization to provide robust services for their needs. Our primary concern and emphasis will be to ensure the highest possible quality of our professional services, and commitment to on-time and on-budget performance as the key to ensure our process meets your expectations for a successful project.
Gruerr Associates' Project Manager will be Larry Schlossberg, AlA, AICP, LEED AP BD+C, a Partner, Licensed Architect and Desrgner. Larry brings a wealth of public facilities experience to manage the Master Plan, Economic Feasibility Study and Conceptual Design efforl to support the City of Torrance's objectives.
As the City's primary advocate, he will lead the project and team, and guarantee that issues are rightfully communicated to the stakeholders and the community, as applicable. Larry was the Design Parlner and Project Manager for the Chino Civic Center Master Plan, West Los Angeles Vision Study, La Mesa Civic Center Master Plan, the Morongo Band of Mission lndians Administrative Complex and Tribal Courls; the Parlner.ìn-Charge, Design Parlnei and Project Manager for the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla lndrans Section 14 Master Plan and La Quinta City Hall to name a few.

To manage his projects, Larry practices a proactive, interactive and iterative approach, Using Gruen's Team Work Plan, his approach will allow us to deliver innovative, technically-sound and viable projects that are on schedule, on budget, and meet the client's established goals. Where possible, pre-planning is employed to minimize adverse results while allowing changes on projects. Our teams can quickly readjust work plans and staffing arrangements when issues arise and have, in fact, planned for such eventualities. lt is important to transfer Gruen's ideals and project management approach to the A/E team. To this end, we carefully choose and purposefully maintain long-term relationships with a limited number of highly qualified subconsultants whom share our philosophy and process to deliver quality services. ln this way, the team is able to consistently maintain budgets and keep to schedules, We understand that substitution of subconsultants may only be made by permission of the City.

Gruen conducted site visits and interviews with City staff representing the four jurisdictions to identify key opporlunities and constraints, including opportunities for collaboration across jurisdictions.

for each station area based on the jurisdiction's needs. Gruen also coordinated the level of detail and types of recommendations with each jurisdiction's General Plan and Housing Element Update process to avoid duplicative endeavors. For example, the then-recently completed 2021 General Plan Update for Whittier created a new Mixed-Use 3 (MU-3) land use designation and instituted a system to provide tiered set of incentives for higher density development for prolects which provide community benefits. As part of the Corridor Cities study, Gruen produced draft development standards and community benefits to accommodate the intent of the General Plan.

Prior to commencing design on the Morongo Band of Mission lndians Administrative Complex and Tribal Courts, Gruen Associates was engaged to conduct a comparison of the potential for various sites to locate the project. Comparison criteria included topography, traffic, utility availability, relationship to other reservation facilities, natural hazards, views to and from the site, etc The ultimate site upon which the complex was built offered a stunning natural context with a visual overview of much of the reservation and avoided such detracting elements as the freeway and high-voltage power lines, which impacted other sites.

86 Brand Library and Art Center Renovation
Glendale , California
Gruen Associates beautifully restored the 1904 Brand Mansion, originally the home of Glendaie benefactor Leslie C Brand, along with its 1969 additron. Brand's will provided that the property be used exclusively for a pulrlic park ancl library. The mansion sits on a terraced slope at the base of tl're Verdugo Mountains in a park setting and is located at the southernmost point of Brand Park.
The restoration included uncovering and rehabilitating the original hand-painted ceilings, recreating orÌginal door and window openings and bringing back into prominence the Mansion's original character.
The Library's existing entry was relocated to be adjacent to the entry for the Art Center and Recital Hall; a new Entry Pavilion was added for the Library to architecturally and functionally connect the two buildings.
The large landscaped plaza and co-located entries greatly enhance intuitive wayfinding, as does the improved functional layout of the Library.
The facility was seismically upgraded in a manner that allowed the improvements to be invisible in the finished work. Listed on the Glendale Register of Historic Resources in 1977 , the Mansion is considered eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. Tactical changes to Brand Library and the Art Center allow the buildings to work in a cohesive manner, while maintaining historic integrity.

Gruen Associates will soon complete the renovation of the iconic, 90,000-SF existing Brutalist-style concrete building designed by Welton Beckett Associates (constructed in 1972 and opened in '1 973).
The renovation includes improving urban design linkages between the library functions and the surrounding Glendale downtown area, an urban infrastructure that has changed significantly since the library's initial design. A major aspect of the urban design response in the renovation was the consideration of how to improve function and flexibility of the space, while revising how one enters the building. The design carefully relocates the library's main entrance from the building's east side to its north side, creating a new entry plaza oriented toward the burgeoning Glendale Arts District.

Gruen addressed stakeholder concerns that the move would compromrse the library's eligibility for historic designation on local and state lists by engaging a highly-respected Historic Preservation consultant, who confirmed that the design would not compromise the library's historic integrity. Several architectural detailing approaches were suggested and incorporated. We executed changes to improve the project and designed a highly-detailed photo-realistic image of the alterations to reach community consensus and ensure that the project would maintain its historic significance. Today's renovation is a return to its original character and elegance, and reflects the shift of modern libraries to expand their missions from beyond places of knowledge and learning to community centers, museums, and places which foster creativity and invention.

The purpose of the Pedestrian Master Plan is to provide policies, guidelines and standards to ensure that all capital projects incorporate best practices for pedestrian design and identify catalytic infrastructure projects. Moreover, the Pedestrian Master Plan will also be consistent with, and further define, the Downtown Plan and Pedestrian Priority Areas identified in the Mobility Element. The Pedestrian Master Plan includes a model or framework for the rest of the city, and includes a list of CIP projects so the City of Long Beach can pursue funding.
The plan also provides shorl-term (detailed), mid-term and long-term projects along with cost estimates for the short-term projects to assist in the grant process funding The Pedestrian Master Plan was adopted by City Council in January 2016 and was approved in May 2016 to provide guidance to Public Works for urban design issues. lnnovative community outreach efforts included pop-up meetings that have allowed some elements to move forward into development.

Los Angeles Convention Center Expansion
(LACOEX), Venice and Kentia Parking Garages
Los Angeles, California
The design challenges presented by the Los Angeles Convention Center Expansion prolect rncluded aesthetic, operational and functional issues. Located on a 63-acre site this $302 million prolect added 2 5 nrillion SF to the existinq facilrty including a 350,000-5F exhibit hall, 46 meeting roonrs, a new restaurant and food concession areas, a new loadìng dock, and over 4,000 parking spaces. A new two-story conference room structure bridges the existing facility to the new icontc glass entry towers identifyirrg a unifyirrg design element to the project.
Especially challenging was designing the project in a way that allowed the convention center to stay operational during construction. The renovation of the existing facrlity included refurbishing the lobby and meeting rooms, moving adnrinistrative offices, remodeling the main kitchen and restaurant arrd upgrading the existing mechanìcal and electrical systenrs. We worked closely with the convention center siaff to nraintain operation of the existing convention center during its renovation.
For LACOEX Pico Hall, we worked with a design architect on a design to replace the current West Hal to elevate a story above ground level.
The design stracldles Pìco Boulevard, bridging the space between the semi-circular South Hall and the Farmers Field site to the west of Staples Center

Parking Structures
The 200-acre South Coast Plaza site was master planned and built in 1966 with construction and renovations occurring over more than four decades.
Gruen Associates'architectural and planning services included the original 1960's master plan and design of the 97-acre South Coast Plaza regional shopping center; the Town Center that encompasses a 400-room hotel and a nrix of offlce, commercial and cultural facilities; and South Coast Village, a 15 5-acre theme center of restaurants and shops connected with cobble-stoned and landscaped paths Totaling over three-mtllion-GSF, the retail development contains eight department stores, specialty shops and surface and structured parking for over 12,000 cars.
Our most recent project at the center renovated the public spaces in B0% of the mall, a project which was focused on improving aesthetics, sightlines, aõCés-i6rlìty ani mañtainabilitt The design goãlwas iõ modeiñi2e lhe lõok while maintaining its original timeless qualities Features of the renovation included over 150,000 SF of Travertine paving, new built-in teak benches and column covers, new glass guardrails, updated lighting, a new grand stairs, a granite-clad fountain, and a large, custom, full-glass observation elevator. Currently ttre highest-grossing retail center in the US, the center was fully occupied during construction and construction work was completed without inrpacting the operations of the center and its tenants, ln addition to our design and renovation of the mall itself, Gruen Associates has completed over 10 luxury retail stores within the center for brands such as Harry Winston, Fendi, Louis Vuitton, Tourbillon and Hermes.

Pershing Square Revitalization and Below-Grade Parking
Los Angeles , California
Gruen Associates is the Prime Consultant providing architectural design services with Paris-based landscape architecture firm Agence Ter, for the redesign of Pershing Square in the hearl of Downtown Los Angeles' revitalization. We completed the $1 5 Million feasibility analysis of the concept for the fìve-acre park, which is the oldest in Los Angeles. The design was selected over three other finalists.
The initial phase of the analysis included a study of defÌciencies in the existing park and underground garage Moving forward, the pro¡ect team þóje-lfõ move forwàrd
The design for Pershing Square calls for "radical flatness," bringing all four sides of the park back to street level. Thìs would be achìeved by lowering the roof of the underground parking garage, which was added to the square in the 1950's, aswell as removing sorne of the automobile access ramps that wrap its perimeter. There will also be focus on the Hill Street side of the project fìrst, since Olive Street is typically favored due to the famed, historic Biltmore Hotel. Phase 1 consists of New elevator, sidewalk improvements, removal of existing walls, and the exterior cosmetic update of existing café building Phase 2 consists of new elevators on Hill Street, the Hill Street promenade and landscaping, removal of the tower and aqueduct structures, and removal and/or lowering of exrsting vertical elements identifìed challenges in executrng the design scheme, as well as a strategy Paul rseng, Project Manager to address these hurdles.

The Torrance Muniopal Code, Division 9 (Land Use Cocle), the General Plan and all City documents pertaining to the Torrance Civic Center to be provided to us will be reviewed with an eye toward noting existing planning constraints on the Civic Center site and what areas of revision might be beneficial to meeting the Civic Center goals. The analysis will look at tlre City's regulations from an economic and design related standpoint to determine how the codes ancj policies are aflecting the economic environment of ihe Civic Center.
Task 2 Deliverables: A memo summarizing our findirrgs relative to the existing Civic Center facilities to include an inventory of existing structures and their conditions and the analysis of existing land use constraints and opportunities with the project Base Map in CAD.
TASK 3: PROGRAMMING
Through a serres of in-person interviews and discussions-conducted over a one- or two-day period with City Department Heads, Torrance Cultural Arts Center leaders, Human Resources, Library Director, the Police Department, the Benstead Plunge, etc. and infornred by the floor plans of existing public buildings- we will develop an overview space program of exìsting public Torrance Civic Center facilitìes. The intent is to document a detailed space-by-space program of public civic center facilitres to understand gross areas currently occupied and used by City personnel on a department-by-department basis or capacities of public facilities suchãs the Libráry, Plungé, Arts Center Counòil Chamber, etc.
The programming effort will also identify desired adjacencies, visibility and interactions between the Civic Center elements and departments.
ln addition, we will seek to understand projected growth (or reduction) of the various entities over 10-,20- and 3O-year tÌme frames to inform Master Planning.
The data will be compiled into a matrix documenting existing space quantities and projected growth over the various time frames.
We will also seek to understand fronl City leaders' projections or desires for City facilities and services, which may be desired to be located in a revitalized Torrance Civic Center.
A draft of the program document will be provided for review and comment by the various City stakeholders prior to finalizing the Master Plan program document.
Task 3 Deliverables: A Torrance Civic Center Programming document, which summarizes existing public facilities'square footage and projected growth over 1O-year intervals.
TASK 4: STAKEHOLDER OUTREACH
The Gruen team will obtain input from local stakeholders including Torrance merchants, neighboring properties near the Civic Center including residential, conrmercial and industrial uses, City staff and elected officials. We will work with City Staff to identify appropriate stakeholders arrd conduct in-person interviews over a full day in Torrance. We would anticipate conducting nrore than the nrinimum four stakeholder interviews. We will seek stakeholder thoughts on a number of topics including desired public and private uses and character of a revitalized Torrance Civ¡c Center, densities, traffic issues, priorities and an overall vision of what the Torrance Civic Center should or could be As part of the market research, LEG will interview four-to-six carefully-selected real estate professionals with either relevant experience in Torrance or in the greater South Bay region. The interviewwill concentrate on developers that have expressed interest to the City or those that have a track record with successful larger- scaled mid-to-high-rise projects in the greater South Bay regiorr These interviews will be sunr¡narized and placed into the market report as an Appendix,
Task 4 Deliverables: A stakeholder input menro, whiclr sunrrrarizes the input of each ol the interviewed entities and identifies are¿ls of consensus and areas ol conflict. (:rty of forr¡rìc{l

TASK 5: MARKET FEASIBILITY ANALYSIS
With real estate lease and possibly sales revenue as a cerrtral parl of the Civic Center revitalizatiotr strategy, the private sector real estate market place will have an irlportant role to play. LEG will prepare a detatled real estate market analysis for the properties that will be made available for private development. This analysis will cover the land uses that have the potential to generate significant land value and land lease revenue, covering rental apartments, mid- and high-rise condominiums, hotels and office clevelopment.
The analysis will look back at historical trends for markel context and will forecast market outlook over the next 10 years. Foreach individual land use, the analysiswill examine the following:
. Rental Apartrnents - Rents, rent per square foot, unit nrix, unÌt sizes, vacancy trends, absorption history, amenities and current and emerging competttìon. . Condominiums - Prices, price per square foot, unit mix, unit sizes, building type, vacancy trends, absorption history, amenities and current and emerging competition. Torrance's proximity to the ocean (2.85 miles from Torrance to Redondo Beach in northwest direction and four miles by car following the Torrance Boulevard route) and its influence on rents and resulting residual land value will be evaluated
. Office Buildings - Rents, rent per square foot, buìlding type, vacanÇy trends, absorption history, amenities and current and enrerging competition. The influence of "ocean views" on rents and land value will be covered as well as ihe changing trends affecting remote work. . Hotels - Room rates, room revenue history frorn transient occupancy tax collection, occupancy rates, class of hotel development and current and emerging compet¡t¡on will all be covered. . Retail/Restaurants - The retail and restaurant use, rather than a primary use, will be viewed as pedestrian-level activity generators that add value to the residential, office and hotel developments.
Task 5 Deliverables'. ATorrance Civic Center Market Feasibilit:/ Metttorandutn Repoft will be prepared in the early stages of this planning assignment. Thìs market report will serve lo inform the creation of planning alternatives.
TASK 6: LAND DISPOSITION AND GENERAL FUND REVENUE ANALYSIS ln order to maximize land disposition revenue, the Master Plan development process should incorporate the following objectives:
. Locate the civic amenities and public spaces in such a way that they benefit the Civic Center buildings as well as the private land developntent parcels. . Clearly delineate the parcels that are to be offered to developers either for lease or for sale. Because of its location near beach destinations, high-rise condominiums will command value premiums and be an rrnportant source of land disposition revenue. However, condominiums are not salable on leased land or are only salable at a steep discount in prenrium land scarce locations. The planning process should incorporate parcels that can be sold to take advantage of this market potential. . A large cont¡guous parcel is likely to generate more land disposition revenue than multiple small parcels. This is because the master developer has the potential to create synergy amongst different project components and will have more control over the immediate environment as compared to scattered parcels totaling to the same acreage
The technical analysis will have two tracks. The first is the identification of comparable land transactions.
However, because Torrance and the surrounding cities have been largely built-out for some time, recent large parcel land transactions may be scarce. The second, and probably the more important approach, is the residual value approach based upon the Draft Master Plan After Gruen Associates has prepared conceptual design and massing diagranrs for the Master Plan identifying the private development parcels, land use and nrassing, LEG will use its financial feasibility Crty ol forrancc

model to provide a reality check on project feasibility, to refine the Master Plan and to estitnate residual land value. A core part of LEG s practice is financial and [iscal nrodelìng of Iand development projects.
Ratherthanastaticrlodel,theyemployadynamicmodel thatrunsoutforl2years. Theadvantageofthis approach is that the downstream value of the development project, resulting from rent or value increases over time and debt amortization, is brought back into the residual land value calculation. This approach is particularly important in a high-inflation environment. lt is a model LEG has employed for over 25 years and was initially created to assist with redevelopment agency land disposition negotiations.
Because LEG often continuously works on teams with planners, designers, engineers and cost estimators, they are able to keep reasonably current on unit costs for different types of developments. lrr addition, tlrey subscribe to CoStar and ESRI Business Analyst to keep up-to-date with rnarket rents, sales prices, land prices and local area demographic changes.
Once a current land value is established, this can then translate into a lease revenue stream. The annual lease revenue is typically a negotiated percentage of the land price We typically recommend an escalator geared to the consumer price index (CPl)implemented at regular intervals. Sìnce the model is structured to calculate land lease revenue stream by developmenl parcel, the phasìng of development can easily be represented to show land lease revenue growth over time.
Esiirnate Táx Revenue. The land dispósition ievenuè flòw wili not be! thè only sollrðe ól fuäddloi öönstiuötíon of the new Civic Center. General Fund revenues will flow from the new development. For the selected Master Plan alternative, LEG will estimate property taxes, sales taxes, trans¡ent occupancy taxes and other General Fund revenue assoc¡ated with the new population and/or employnrent. This revenue stream will be staggered to correlate with the phasing of new development.
Task 6 Deliverables. ATorrance Civic Center Land Disposition and General Fund Revenue Report will be prepared, once the private development parcel has been clearly delineated; i.e., size, use, height, building size, etc. This financial report will serve as a key input into the financing strategy for a new Civic Center.
TASK 7: MASTER PLAN ALTERNATIVES
Based on the review and analysis of the collected data, the programming process, stakeholder input and the economic analysis, we will generate three (3) Torrance Civic Center planning concepts, which will approach the goals of enhancing the quality of Crty services, creating a sense of place and pride for the City ol Torrance and bringing economic benefit in different ways.
Each of the three alternative concept Master Plans will deal with:
. Creating a lively urban structure and armature to organize the experience of the Civic Center, Enhance wayfinding
Create well-defined and scaled public spaces,
Clarify pedestrian and vehicle circulation,
Promote sustainable and environmentally-appropriate developnrent, Create a synergy between public uses and spaces and private revenue-producing development and
Respond to the Civic Center's context including its residential and corrrmercial neighbors and the adjacent State-owned property
The alternative approaches will be diflerentiated by the ir attitucles toward dtfferent criteria such as Maxinrizir.rg the re-use and enhancement of existing City facilities vs new constructlon Alternative placement of private sector development.

Low- and rnid-rise developnrent vs. high-rise
. Parking Strategies
. Pedestrian and vehicle circulation patterns.
. A grand central public, outdoor space vs. multiple more-intinrate public spaces of various characters. 'fhe alternatives will present high-level concept planning ideas and general building footprints and rough massing. They will be prepared in two-dimensional site plan form and 3D Sketchup massing digital models.
At a workshop style session, we will present the alternatives and discuss with Oity staff the pros and cons of each and make revisions. We can then present tlre alternatives to City Council or other officials for feedback. The goal will be io identify what aspects of each are seen as working well and what are not. lt is possible that the Civic Center Master Plan will, ultimately, be a synthesis of the best aspects of each of the alternatives.
Parking Alternatives: A special emphasis will be placed on exploring parking solution alternatives within the Master Plan Concept alternatives. The programming effort in earlier tasks will provide guidance on parking demand and the economic analysis will inform par,fling demand based on market needs for: private development. A significant portion of the existing Civic Ceniéi site and State-owned proþertieS is occupied by surface parking. The economic analysis will help inform the feasibility of providing more efficient parking solutions to maximize both development potential and urban design qualities of the Civic Center, private clevelopment ancl the State-owned properties. Gruen Associates has long been an expert in parking design and we have executed parking facilities for literally hundreds of thousands of cars. The Alternative studies will explore.
. Free-standing, above-ground and/or multi-level parking structures . Below-grade parking facilities below open spaces

Below-grade parking facilities below buildings
Above-grade parking within the base of buildings
Autor¡ated compact parking solutions
Shared parking solutions based on varying peak demand schedules for different uses Tandem or other "stacked" parkìng solutions
Surface parking where appropriate
Various combinations of the above
ln our designs of parking concepts, we will keep in mind the potential to convert parking facilities into occupied space, whether residential, commercial and/or civic in the future, should parking demand decline.
Task 7 Deliverables: Three Master Plan Concept alternatives documented through site plans and 3D SketchUp digital massing model inrages. Brief narrative describing each.
TASK B: FINAL CONCEPT MASTER PLAN
A single Torrance Civic Center Master Plan will be developed based on leedback from City Council, other officials and City Staff. The Final Master Plan will either be a development of one of the concept alternatives or a synthesis of the best aspects of multiple alternatives. The Final Master Plan will indicate all of the aspects of the alternatives in more detail and will develop building concepts, landscape concepts and parking strategies.
A certain amount of flexibility within an overall planning structure should be built into the plan as priorities and economic conditions can change over the many years that the Master Plan will be implemented.
We will continue to work in illustrative site plan format and 3D SketchUp digital modeling, whiclr will now begin to express a concept architectural character vision for the Civic Center. ln addition, Concept diagrammatic floor plans of important buildings will be produced as well as a brief narrative of the concept and a tabulation of building areas.
We will meet with City Staff and others, as appropriate, in a workshop-style session to review the plan and make refinements prior to producing the final deliverables.
Task 8 Deliverables: Frnal Civic Center Master Plan lllustrative site plan, 3D SketchUp digital images, Narrative and Area Tabulation.
Task 9: Project Budget
ln preparing the Civic Center Master Plan, the Gruen Team will identify outline projects necessary to undertake the plan. This will likely include modernization and/or re-purposing of existing facilities, additions to existing buildings, demolitions, construction of new buildings, streetscape improvements, at-grade parking and parking structures, development of open spaces, elc.
Leland SaylorAssociates (LSA) willassess each of these project needs and prepare conceptual/rough-order- of-magnitude budget pricing for the construction costs. Projects will be defined parametrically according to detail available, typically including overall gross square feet, numbers of stories, etc. and readily identifiable scopes thal inform significant cost drivers (e.9., council chambers, kitchens, audio/visual or performing arts facilities, etc.) Typically, modernizations are categorized as low-, nrediunr-, or high-impact works.
Estimates are produced using LSA cost data derived from other sinrilar projects and will be arranged in a deliverable in the format best suited to the Master Plan approach. Public (City) and private projects will be itemized by separate category iflas required. Assumptions around soft costs will be identified and included Cr(y of Torrancc

separately, as applies, along with appropriate escalation allowances linked to likely anticipated phasing and outline project schedules.
LSAwill produce an initial internal draft custom-designed deliverable, which then becomes refined through review and input by all Gruen team members, as applies, to ensure alignment with Master Plan strategies and design intents. A draft cost estimate deliverable will then be issued for review by City representatives, with final refinements following, as needed. A published cost estimate deliverable will then become a component of the overall Civic Cenier Master Plan.
Task 9 Deliverables. Civic Center Master Plan Cost Estimate Repod TASK 10: TORRANCE CIVIC CENTER MASTER PLAN REPORT
The Torrance Civic Center Master Plan will be documented in a concise, comprehensive report, which includes the deliverables derived from each of the previous tasks.
Prior to finalizing the document, we will prepare an administrative screening draft and present it to City Staff for feedback. Simultaneously, we will develop and present options to City Staff-on the document format and graphic presentation-and will work with the City to finalize an image for the report. We will incorporate The report will include a project time and action for project milestones (Pre-Development, Development Phases, and Operation).
25 copies of final document, one camera-ready copy, and a copy on computer disk or USB in a software program pre-agreed upon with City Staff will be provided.
A Final PowerPoint presentation will be made to the City Council, Planning Commission and others as requested.
Task 10 Deliverables: A final Civic Center Master Plan Report and PowerPoint presentation with contents including:
. lntroduction, background, and project process narrative . Summary of existing physical conditions, Zoning, and General Plan constraints . High-level program of public Civic Center facilities at full build out. . Summary of Stakeholder input.

The City of Torrance:
The city of Torrance is situated on the western side of Los Angeles county' lt is boarded by the Palos Verdes peninsula on the south, the Cily of Gardena on the north, the óity ot Redondo Jgach on the north and west boundaries, the City of Lomita on the east and the Pacific Ocean on the west The City encompasses an ârea of approximately 21 square miles, 32g.n¡iuì or Streets, 1870 intersections' 550 miles of sidewalks' 47'000 Street Trees, 6 pubtic Libraries a MunicipãiÀiriort, Transit System, 46 Parks & Recreation Amenities' 6 Fire stations, 1 porice station and 1 porice community center, and has an estimated popuration of approximately 146,,115, which makes Torrance one of the top 1d cities in Los Angeles county in regarris to population Background:
The Torrance civìc center was first constructed in 1956 along Torrance Boulevard and Madrona Avenue' The first rendition of thrs civic center consisted of just a city úail, porice Station, city poor, and a Municipal courthouse built by the county. ln 1g71, the first nrajor expansion of lhe civic cenier began with the origìnal city Hall being refur:bished as the civic center Library, and the city Hall as we curre-ntly- know ìt today was buìlt' îhis city Hall has been the center point of the Torrance civic center for the past 50 years' over the years, the cìty has carried out a variety of programs antj efforts to rraintain and improve the civic center. These projects often originate fronr different departments or divisions within departments' Maintenance and upgrades have been focused on the civic center to provide a cohesive ancr upcjated aesthetic in the clty' Most recent updates include the introduction of new signage on all civìc center buildings in August 2019' A number of existing public facilities at the civic center occupy prime real estate and are reaching a condition that requires replacement or refurbishment'
THE PROJECT
Current Components and Conditions
The civic center currenily includes: 15 City buildings, 1 public pool, temporary interim housing village (on 'l-year annual lease, subject to renewal) and '1,t72 surfaðe parkìng spaces on a 30 3 acre site bounded by: Torrance Boulevard, Madrona Avenue, civic center Drive, and Maple Avenue' The approxi.nately 370'000 sf of existing facirities are parked at 3.3 spaces per 1,000 sf of area. The sìte FAR is 28 and the highest structure on the property is the Armstrong Theatre at 64 feet. The civic center (owned anrl operated by the city) is hisiorically a cost center that operates at a negative cash flow position annually.
State ProPertY
Adjoining the civic center property is a S-story (89' high) Los Angeles county co-urthouse (and adjacent low- rise annex) and gB0 surface parking spaces on .10.3s acres owneit y tn" state of carifornia. The approximately .140,000 sf of improvements on this property at the southwest corner of civic center Drive and Maple Avenue drive a FAR of onry .31. The prope*y is pa*ed at a ratio of 6.3/1000- Arthough not technically included in the scope of this RFP, this State property is strategic, should be accounted for from a coordinated access and circuration approach and has the potentiar to prãy a key rore in the urtimate deveropment of the cìvìc center property.
The Project Rationale
Rising real estate dema'd ancl associated value of land in the market introduces the potential to monetize a portion of the civic center property and convert the site from a cost center to a profit center' producing new sources of cìty cash flow (ground leases and incremental tax revenues)' The impetus for the project is the improved public sector s"ruiãe= and net cash flow that private sector additions to the site can generate' The Vision

e vision of this Master plan project is to capitalize on the centralized location of the civic center to funr;t¡on a hub for all things Torrance ,rot just clestination for government services, while creating a compelling' hesive 3O-acre site including new, compatible, income-producing, private-sector uses that' Serve Torrance residents, vrsitors, and businesses as a centraîhub featuring a wide'ange of actlvities; Create new cash flow to increase city ievenues and to fund selected Clvic Center public sector capital ìnr¡estments and ongoing operating costs'
The cìty of rorrance is considering redeveloping the civic center to rnc;re efficìently ulilize the land and real estate poterrtral by exploring a consolidat"ã-Citv"op"ratìng footprint' façade modernzations and incorporating structured parking, where appropriate, to allow for clevelopment of relocãted replacement public facilities' such as the Plunge, and integratìng both income producing.ottu'"i"l (retail, hotel' ofíice and iesicjential elemerrts) to provide new local ernployrrent opportunrties and generate n"* .òu"n'e through long term ground leases and sales, property, Transient occupancy "no

a highly functional'
but under-utilized and disjointed use of putrì" óiop"rty that lacks a consistent and modernizecl aesthetic appeal' To assisi in this developnrent, staff is soliciting proposals for a consultant to assist it-r rneeting the vision of Torrance,s reimagirrecr civrc center.

Assumptions anci analysis of parking alternatlves at the subject site will be pivotal in projectrng the site's physical development potential and its economic viabirity. The harvesting of surface parking rots enabres for rnodernlzed pubrrc amenities in a nrore efficient design and new private-sectár componcnts to produce prìnrary sou¡ce of the financial foundation of this proiect'
Areas of parking anarysis shourd incrude: dedicated vs shared-parking, contemporary parking ratìc;s by use' percentage of pubric sector and private sector deveroped erenrents and the concept of financed and fee related parking for private sectctr related development elements' The aesthetics and the economic issues of above- grade and subterrancan parking will also be considerations The site's parking structure locations' financial nrodel, and design (e.g increaserj floor io ceiling helghts) should accommoclate future retro-fitting from parking to alternative uses as California parking demand evolves' A critical tippìng pornt is the cost of constructing replacement parking (structured) comparecl to the larrd value of the surface parking rots. The derta betwe"n prãr,. sector parkì,rg structure deveropment costs and private sector parking structure deverop'ent costs can be considerable and should be accounted for' Project density and the specrfic mix of uses in the ovcrall public sector and private sector developrnent progranrs will have significant impactsontheprolectparkingcoLlrltandtheresultingprojecteconomics' A copy of the Torrance General PIan can be found at the followinq iink:
