Agenda Item 1.F
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council (1) approve Amendment No. 1 to the Deferred Improvement Agreement between the City and Lennar Homes of California, LLC for Tracy Hills Phase 1B to allow the Developer to receive Park Fee Credits pursuant to Tracy Municipal Code Section 13.08.010 and (2) authorize the City Clerk to file Amendment No. 1 to the Deferred Improvement Agreement with the office of the San Joaquin County Recorder.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Lennar Homes of California, a limited liability corporation (Developer) has entered into a Deferred Improvement Agreement (DIA) (Attachment A) with the City per resolution number 2021-151. Developer would like to receive neighborhood park fee credi ts for the parks they plan to
build under the DIA, in compliance with Tracy Municipal Code (TMC) section 13.08.010, which allows a Developer to receive fee credits, pursuant to a written agreement between the Developer and the City. The proposed amendment to the DIA (Attachment B) will detail the neighborhood park credits.
BACKGROUND AND LEGISLATIVE HISTORY
The Developer is the developer of the real property generally bordered by the California Aqueduct to the north, Interstate 580 to the south, Future Lammers Road to the east, the UPRR railroad tracks to the west and near the future Lammers Road interchange to the east (Property). Developer is under contract to purchase the Property from the owner, who has consented to Developer recording the Amendment No. 1 to the DIA (Amendment).
On November 10, 2020, the City Council adopted the Tracy Hills Specific Plan Amendment for Tracy Hills Phase 1B/1C and approved various related land use entitlements, including that certain Small-Lot Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map for Tracy Hills Phase 1B, Tract 4004 (VTSM), pursuant to Resolution No. 2020-188. A pproval of the VTSM was subject to specified conditions of appro val (Conditions of Approval).
On Oc
tober 19, 2021, Developer entered into a DIA, pursuant to Resolution No. 2021-151, by which the Developer agreed to complete construction of all rem aining public facilities which are required by the Conditions of Approval (collectively, Def erred Impr ovements). The DIA describes
the Deferred Improvements and the times at which the completion of said improvements and other requirements are due.
The Developer requested to build thei r required neighborhood park acreage in lieu of paying the neighborhood park development impac t fees. Therefore, the Developer is eligible to receive Neighborhood Park fee credits for the Neighborhood Park that they will build in accordance with the DIA.
ANALYSIS
The proposed amendment adds language to the DIA that allows the Developer to start receiving neighborhood park fee credits at the time the Amendment is executed and a bond is posted
. Developer has already delivered the corresponding bond to the City. The Amendment does not change any of the obligations or timing of the improvements specified in the Conditions of Approval and DIA. Additionally, subject to the TMC Section 13.08.010, subsection (g), a Developer may receive fee credits, after having entered into a written agreement with the City. The DIA was approved by Council on October 19, 2021, under Resolution No. 2021-151.
FISCAL IMPACT
The amendment has no impact on the General Fund. Developer will receive neighborhood park fee credits for the neighborhood parks they are building in lieu of paying neighborhood park development impact fees.
COORDINATION
The Engineering Division has consulted with the Parks Department and they agree with the issuance of neighborhood park fee credits.
CEQA DETERMINATION
This project is not within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), including as the term “project” which is defined by section 15378 of the CEQA Guidelines, including without limitation because the adoption of this project is a ministerial action not subject

Agenda Item 1.G
RECOMMENDATI
ON
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a Resolution to approve a Pipeline Easement Agreement with Combined Solar Technologies, Inc. for the Tracy Desalination and Green Energy Project
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Combined Solar Technologies, Inc. (CST) has constructed and will operate a desalination facility located on
City-owned land adjacent to the City’s Wastewater Treatment Plant. CST will desalinate and
cool the City’s treated wastewater effluent and other third-party waters.
CST needs to install
underground pipes and various other appurtenances within the easement area to deliver the desalinated and cool water to the Wastewater Treatment Plant. An approval of the Pipeline Easement Agreement will allow CST to construct and install the proposed pipelines and appurtenances as part of the Desalination and Green Energy Project (Project)
BACKGROUND AND LEGISLATIVE HISTORY
The Wastewater Treatment Plant’s (WWTP) discharge currently contains salt in amounts that exceed the Delta salinity standards and also exceed the temperature requirements contained in the City’s wastewater discharge permit. CST developed a process to remove salt from wastew ater using distillation and cooling towers to reduce the temperature of the distilled water.
On April 20, 2010, City Council authori zed CST to conduct a Green Energy Pilot Project at the Wastewater Treatment Plant by Resolution No. 2010-052. The pilot project demonstrated how thermal desalination can be used to remove salt from Tracy’s wastewater. On January 4, 2011, City Council authorized staff to negotiate with CST for completion of a feasibility study.
On April 19, 2011, City Council authori zed an Exclusive Negotiation Rights Agreement (E
NRA) with CST to reserve a portion of the City-owned former Holly Sugar property for use by the energy project. The property initi ally located in the County was annexed into the City and CST paid for the annexation cost.
In acc
ordance with the California Environment Quality Act (CEQA) requirements, the City Council adopted a Negative Declaration for the project on May 1, 2012. At its September 4, 2012 meeting, the City Council extended the term of the ENRA and adopted an addendum to the environmental document for an ethanol production plant which included the energy project as part of its component.
On March 18, 2014, City Council extended the term of the ENRA until November 2, 2015.
On May 19, 2015, the City Council authorized a lease with CST, then doing business as Tracy Renewable Energy, for 12.5 acres of an unused portion of the former Holly Sugar property for the purposes of the project.
Under a separate agreement between the City and CST, per City Council Resolution 2018-089, CST will pump the City’s treated wastewater effluent from the City’s emergency storage ponds to the Desalination Plant, which will then deliver desalinated and cool water back into the WWTP. CST has informed the City that the construction of the Desalination Plant is complete and requires that it construct and install a new underground force main, distilled water distribution pipeline, pump station, and associated appurtenances within the WWTP property as part of the Desalination and Green Energy Project.
ANALYSIS
The approval of the pipeline easement will allow CST to construct and install the remaining Project appurtenances (pipelines, pumpstation, etc.) within the WWTP property.
Upon completion, the Project implementation would effectively remove salt from approximately 13% of the WWTP’s effluent. The treated desalination water would then be blended back into the remaining WWTP effluent prior to discharge into the Delta. The newly blended and treated effluent will have lower salinity and will assist the City in compliance with all applicable Delta salinity standards. Additionally, the project will lower the temperature of the WWTP effluent discharged into the Delta. The desalination plant includes water cooling facilities in the form of a cooling tower. When needed, the treated desalination water would be reduced in temperature to below the ambient temperature of the WWTP wastewater and then be blended back into the remaining WWTP effluent prior to discharge into the Delta. The newly blended effluent will have a lower temperature and will assist the City in compliance with applicable Delta discharge temperature requirements.
FISCAL IMPACT
CST will construct and install the project facilities at no cost to the City.
CEQA DETERMINATION
In accordance with the California Environment Quality Act (CEQA) requirements, the City Council adopted a Negative Declaration for the project on May 1, 2012. At its September 4, 2012 meeting, the City Council extended the term of the ENRA and adopted an addendum to the environmental document for an ethanol production plant which included the energy project as part of its component.
STRATEGIC PLAN
This agenda item is consistent with the City’s Quality of Life Strategy and meets the goals to ensure physical infrastructure and systems necessary for the delivery of improved wastewater effluent water quality.

Agenda Item 1.H
RECOMMENDAT
ION
Staff recommends City Council approve the First Amendment to the Subdivision Improvement Agreement for West Parkway Village and authorize the City Clerk to record the First Amendment to the Subdivision Improvement Agreement for West Parkway Village with the San Joaquin County Clerk.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Approval of the First Amendment to the Subdivision Improvement Agreement will allow R&B DELTA II, LLC (Subdivider) to continue with the construction of the infrastructure improvements rel
ated to the development of 14 parcels on approximately 17.6 acres, located on the Southeast corner of Interstate 205 and International Parkway. The previously approved improvements were a part of a 2021 Subdivision Improvement Agreement (SIA); this amendment will allow the Subdivider one more year to complete the public improvements.
BA
CKGROUND AND LEGISLATIVE HISTORY
Subdivider is responsible for the construction of infr astructure improvements to t he development of West Parkway Village. The SIA, which authorized the Subdivider to proceed with the construction of said improvements was approved by the City Council on June 01, 2021, pursuant to Resolution No. 2021-066, and was recorded in San Joaquin County Records on July 18, 2021, as Document No. 2021-120624 in San Joaquin County Recor ds and is on file with the City Clerk.
The infrastructure improvements that are the subject of the First Amendment are part of Infrastructure improvement Agreement between the City of Tracy and the R&B Delta II, LLC, and therefore the said improvements will be funded and performed by the R&B Delta II, LLC.
ANALYSIS
Section 2.3 of the SI A required Subdivider to complete the imp rovements by July 13, 2022. Due to unforeseen challenges, Subdivider has been unable to complete the improvements by the noted deadline and timely requested an extension to perform the work required under the Agreement. Pursuant to Section 12.36.100(c)(1) of the Tracy Municipal Code, the City Council may extend the time for completion of work by formal act ion.
This First Amendment will extend the date of completion of improvements included in the SIA to July 13, 2023.
FISCAL IMPACT
There will be no impact to the General Fund. The infrastructure improvements that are the subject of t he First Amendment are part of Infrastructure improvement Agreement between the City of Tracy and the R&B Delta II, LLC, and therefore the said improvements will be funded and performed by the R&B Delta II, LLC. The Subdivider has paid the applicable engineering review fees which include the cost of the processing of the Fi rst Amendment.
Agenda Item 1.H
October 18, 2022
CEQA DETERMINATION
The project is consistent w ith the Final Revised Environmental Impact Report (EIR) certified by the City Council on September 3, 2013 for the Cordes Ranch Specific Plan (SCH# 2011122015). Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 and Public Resources Code Section 21166, no subsequent EIR shall be prepared for the project because the project has a certified EIR and no substantial changes are proposed in the project that would require major revisions to the previous EIR; no substantial changes have occurred with respect to the circumstances under which the project will be undertaken that would require major revisions to the previous EIR; and no new information of substantial importance regarding significant effects, mitigation measures, or alternatives for this project has become known, which was not known at the time the previous EIR was certified as complete. Therefore, no further environmental review is necessary.
STRATEGIC PLAN
This agenda item is consistent with the Council approved Economic Development St rategy to ensure physical infrastructure necessary for development.
ACTION REQUESTED OF THE CITY COUNCIL
That the Tracy City Council, by Resolution approve the First Amendment to the Subdivision Improvement Agreement for West Parkway Village and authorize the City Clerk to file the First Amendment
with the Office of the San Joaquin County Recorder.

City of Tracy, California

Agenda Item 1.I
RECOMMENDATI
ON
Staff recommends City Council adopt a Resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute a Longitudinal Pipeline and Crossing Agreement with Union Pacific Railroad Company (UPRR).
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Longitudinal Pipeline and Crossing Agreement with UPRR will allow the City, and its assignees to construct an underground storm drain pipe under a UPRR spur and said underground storm drain pipe would allow an existing 180 residential unit development (RUD) constructed by Bright Development (Bright) to drain into the City storm drain system. The development currently drains into a temporary retention basin.
BACKGROUND AND LEGISLATIVE HISTORY
On October 11, 1995, the City approved Bright’s Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map (VTM) for a residential development known as Larkspur Estates. The residential development is located on the west side
of MacArthur Drive about a quarter mile north of Valpico Road. Larkspur Estates was planned to be a one hundred eighty (180) single-family RUD . Due to the lack of direct underground storm drain connection, Bright had to construct a temporary retention basin within Larkspur Estates’ boundaries to store the storm water run-off. Since that time, the City has acquired the land required to construct the ultimate drainage solution in the area (i.e. Detention Basin 2B). Subsequently, Bright proposed to construct a portion of ultimate drainage solution and construct the
direct underground storm drain connection underneath UPRR’s spur directly west of
Cairo Court.
ANALYSIS
The City recently acquired the land required to construct the ultimate Detention Basin 2B.
Subsequently, Bright, the owner of the parcel containing the temporary retention basin, proposed to construct a portion of ultimate Detention Basin 2B on behalf of the City and construct the direct underground storm drain connection underneath the UPRR spur. As a result, Bright
would bench and fill the temporary retention basin, reroute the underground st orm drain pipe on Cairo Court, and create the residential foundation pads. The City or another developer will construct the remainder of the ultimate basin. The Longitudinal Pipeline and Crossing Agreement with Union Pacific Railroad Company will allow the City, and its assignees (i.e. Bright),
to construct the direct underground storm drain connection underneath the UPRR spur and said underground storm drain pipe would allow Larkspur Estates to drain into the City storm drain
system. Larkspur Estates currently drains into a temporary retention basin.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Subdivider has paid the applicable engineering review fees, which include the cost of processing the Longitudinal Pipeline and Crossing Agreement.
Agenda Item 1.I
October 18, 2022
COORDINATION
The City is coordinating with Union Pacific Railroad Company and the Bright Development as Br
ight Development will construct the underground pipe as proposed in a subsequent agreement that will be presented to City Council for i ts consideration.
CEQA DETERMINATION
The completion of the Larkspur Estates development is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15332 because the pr
oject is characterized as in-fill development and (1) is consistent with the General Plan designation of Residential Low and all applicable General Plan policies, as well as consistent with the Low Density Residential (LDR) Zone and with all applicable zoning regulations, (2) occurs within City limits on a project site of no more than five acres substantially surrounded by urban
uses, (3) has no value as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species, (4) would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality, and (5) can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services. The direct underground storm drain connection and its administrative approvals were included in the above CE QA analysis. Therefore, no further environmental review is necessary.
STRATEGIC PLAN
This agenda item is consistent with the Council approved Economic Deve lopment Strategy to ensure physical infrastructure necessa ry for development.
ACTION REQUESTED OF THE CITY COUNCIL

The foregoing grant is subject and subordinate to the prior and continuing right and obligation of Licensor to use and maintain its entire property including the right and power of Licensor to construct, maintain, repair, renew, use, operate, change, modify or relocate railroad tracks, signal, communication, fiber optics, or other wirelines, pipelines and other facilities upon, along or across any or all parts of its property, all or any of which may be freely done at any time or times by Licensor without liability to Licensee or to any other party for compensation or damages.
B. The foregoing grant is also subject to all outstanding superior rights (including those in favor of licensees and lessees of Railroad Property) and the right of Licensor to renew and extend the same, and is made without covenant of title or for quiet enjoyment. It shall be Licensee's sole obligation to obtain such additional permission, license and grants necessary on account of any such existing rights.
Section 2. ENGINEERING REQUIREMENTS; PERMITS .
A. Licensee's Facilities will be designed, constructed, operated, maintained, repaired, renewed, modified, reconstructed, removed, or abandoned in place on Railroad Property by Licensee or its contractor to Licensor's satisfaction and in strict conformity with: (i) Licensor’s current engineering standards and specifications, including those for shoring and cribbing to protect Licensor's railroad operations and facilities ("UP Specifications"), except for variances approved in advance in writing by Licensor’s Assistant Vice President Engineering – Design or its authorized representative ("UP Engineering Representative"); (ii) such other additional safety standards as Licensor, in its sole discretion, elects to require, including, without limitation, American Railway Engineering and Maintenance-of-Way Association ("AREMA") standards and guidelines (collectively, "UP Additional Requirements"); and (iii) all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, including any applicable Federal Railroad Administration and Federal Energy Regulatory Commission regulations and enactments (collectively, "Laws"). If there is any conflict between UP Specifications, UP Additional Requirements, and Laws, the most restrictive will apply.
B. Licensee shall keep the soil over Licensee's Facilities thoroughly compacted, and maintain the grade over and around Licensee's Facilities even with the surface of the adjacent ground.
C. If needed, Licensee shall secure, at Licensee's sole cost and expense, any and all necessary permits required to perform any work on Licensee's Facilities.
Section 3. NOTICE OF COMMENCEMENT OF WORK; EMERGENCIES .
A. Licensee and its contractors are strictly prohibited from commencing any work associated with Licensee's Facilities without Licensor's written approval that the work will be in strict compliance with the "ENGINEERING REQUIREMENTS; PERMITS" Section of this Exhibit B. Upon Licensor's approval, Licensee shall contact both of Licensor's field representatives ("Licensor's Field Representatives") at least ten (10) days before commencement of any work on Licensee's Facilities.
B. Licensee shall not commence any work until: (1) Licensor has determined whether flagging or other special protective or safety measures ("Safety Measures") are required for performance of the work pursuant to the "FLAGGING" Section of this Exhibit B and provided Licensee written authorization to commence work; and (2) Licensee has complied with the "PROTECTION OF FIBER OPTIC CABLE SYSTEMS" Section of this Exhibit B.
C. If, at any time, an emergency arises involving Licensee's Facilities, Licensee or its contractor shall immediately contact Licensor's Response Management Communications Center at (888) 877-7267.
Section 4. FLAGGING .
A. Following Licensee's notice to Licensor's Field Representatives required under the "NOTICE OF COMMENCEMENT OF WORK; EMERGENCIES" Section of this Exhibit B, Licensor shall inform Licensee if Safety Measures are required for performance of the work by Licensee or its contractor on Railroad Property. If Safety Measures are required, no work of any kind may be performed by Licensee or its contractor(s) until arrangements for the Safety Measures have been made and scheduled. If no Safety Measures are required, Licensor will give Licensee written authorization to commence work.
B. If any Safety Measures are performed or provided by Licensor, including but not limited to flagging, Licensor shall bill Licensee for such expenses incurred by Licensor, unless Licensor and a federal, state, or local governmental entity have agreed that Licensor is to bill such expenses to the federal, state, or local governmental entity. Additional information regarding the submission of such expenses by Licensor and payment thereof by Licensee can be found in the "LICENSEE’S PAYMENT OF EXPENSES" Section of this Exhibit B. If Licensor performs any Safety Measures, Licensee agrees that Licensee is not relieved of any of responsibilities or liabilities set forth in this Agreement.
C. For flagging, the rate of pay per hour for each flagger will be the prevailing hourly rate in effect for an eight-hour day for the class of flagmen used during regularly assigned hours and overtime in accordance with Labor Agreements and Schedules in effect at the time the work is performed. In addition to the cost of such labor, a composite charge for vacation, holiday, health and welfare, supplemental sickness, Railroad Retirement and unemployment compensation, supplemental pension, Employees Liability and Property Damage, and Administration will be included, computed on actual payroll. The composite charge will be the prevailing composite charge in effect at the time the work is performed. One and one-half times the current hourly rate is paid for overtime, Saturdays and Sundays, and two and one- half times current hourly rate for holidays. Wage rates are subject to change, at any time, by law or by agreement between Licensor and its employees, and may be retroactive as a result of negotiations or a ruling of an authorized governmental agency. Additional charges on labor are also subject to change. If the wage rate or additional charges are changed, Licensee (or the governmental entity, as applicable) shall pay on the basis of the new rates and charges.
D. Reimbursement to Licensor will be required covering the full eight-hour day during which any flagger is furnished, unless the flagger can be assigned to other railroad work during a portion of such day, in which event reimbursement will not be required for the portion of the day during which the flagger is engaged in other railroad work. Reimbursement will also be required for any day not actually worked by the flaggers following the flaggers' assignment to work on the project for which Licensor is required to pay the flaggers and which could not reasonably be avoided by Licensor by assignment of such flaggers to other work, even though Licensee may not be working during such time .
When it becomes necessary for Licensor to bulletin and assign an employee to a flagging position in compliance with union collective bargaining agreements, Licensee must provide Licensor a minimum of five (5) days notice prior to the cessation of the need for a flagger. If five (5) days notice of cessation is not given, Licensee will still be required to pay flagging charges for the days the flagger was scheduled, even though flagging is no longer required for that period. An additional ten (10) days notice must then be given to Licensor if flagging services are needed again after such five day cessation notice has been given to Licensor.
Section 5. SAFETY .
A. Safety of personnel, property, rail operations and the public is of paramount importance in the prosecution of any work on Railroad Property performed by Licensee or its contractor, and takes precedence over any work on Licensee's Facilities to be performed Licensee or its contractors. Licensee shall be responsible for initiating, maintaining and supervising all safety operations and programs in connection with any work on Licensee's Facilities. Licensee and its contractor shall, at a minimum comply, with Licensor's then current safety standards located at the below web address ("Licensor's Safety Standards") to ensure uniformity with the safety standards followed by Licensor's own forces. As a part of Licensee's safety responsibilities, Licensee shall notify Licensor if it determines that any of Licensor's Safety Standards are contrary to good safety practices. Licensee and its contractor shall furnish copies of Licensor's Safety Standards to each of its employees before they enter Railroad Property.
Union Pacific Current Safety Requirements
B. Licensee shall keep the job site on Railroad Property free from safety and health hazards and ensure that their employees are competent and adequately trained in all safety and health aspects of the work.
C. Licensee represents and warrants that all parts of Licensee's Facilities within and outside of the limits of Railroad Property will not interfere whatsoever with the constant, continuous, and uninterrupted use of the tracks, property, and facilities of Licensor, and nothing shall be done or suffered to be done by Licensee at any time that would in any manner impair the safety thereof.
D. Licensor's operations and work performed by Licensor’s personnel may cause delays in Licensee's or its contractor's work on Licensee's Facilities. Licensee accepts this risk and agrees that Licensor shall have no liability to Licensee or any other person or entity for any such delays. Licensee must coordinate any work on Railroad Property by Licensee or any third party with Licensor's Field Representatives in strict compliance with the "NOTICE OF COMMENCEMENT OF WORK; EMERGENCIES" Section of this Exhibit
E. Licensor shall have the right, if it so elects, to provide any support it deems necessary for the safety of Licensor's operations and trackage during Licensee's or its contractor's construction, maintenance, repair, renewal, modification, relocation, reconstruction, or removal of Licensee's Facilities.
In the event Licensor provides such support, Licensor shall invoice Licensee, and Licensee shall pay Licensor as set forth in the "LICENSEE'S PAYMENT OF EXPENSES" Section of this Exhibit B.
F. Licensee may use unmanned aircraft systems ("UAS") to inspect Licensee's Facilities only upon the prior authorization from and under the direction of Licensor's Field Representatives.
Licensee represents and warrants that its use of UAS on Railroad Property will comply with Licensor's then-current Unmanned Aerial Systems Policy and all applicable laws, rules and regulations, including any applicable Federal Aviation Administration regulations and enactments pertaining to UAS.
Section 6. PROTECTION OF FIBER OPTIC CABLE SYSTEMS .
Fiber optic cable systems may be buried on Railroad Property. Protection of the fiber optic cable systems is of extreme importance since any break could disrupt service to users resulting in business interruption and loss of revenue and profits. In addition to the notifications required under the "NOTICE OF COMMENCEMENT OF WORK; EMERGENCIES" Section of this Exhibit B , Licensee shall telephone Licensor during normal business hours (7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Central Time, Monday through Friday, except for holidays) at 1-800-336-9193 (also a 24-hour, 7-day number for emergency calls) to determine if fiber optic cable is buried anywhere on Railroad Property to be used by Licensee. If it is, Licensee shall telephone the telecommunications company(ies) involved, and arrange for a cable locator, make arrangements for relocation or other protection of the fiber optic cable, all at Licensee’s expense, and will not commence any work on Railroad Property until all such protection or relocation has been completed.
Section 7. LICENSEE'S PAYMENT OF EXPENSES .
A. Licensee shall bear the entire cost and expense of the design, construction, maintenance, modification, reconstruction, repair, renewal, revision, relocation, or removal of Licensee's Facilities.
B . Licensee shall fully pay for all materials joined, affixed to and labor performed on Railroad Property in connection with the construction, maintenance, modification, reconstruction, repair, renewal, revision, relocation, or removal of Licensee's Facilities, and shall not permit or suffer any mechanic’s or materialman’s lien of any kind or nature to be enforced against the property for any work done or materials furnished thereon at the instance or request or on behalf of Licensee. Licensee shall promptly pay or discharge all taxes, charges, and assessments levied upon, in respect to, or on account of Licensee's Facilities, to prevent the same from becoming a charge or lien upon any property of Licensor, and so that the taxes, charges, and assessments levied upon or in respect to such property shall not be increased because of the location, construction, or maintenance of Licensee's Facilities or any improvement, appliance, or fixture connected therewith placed upon such property, or on account of Licensee’s interest therein. Where such tax, charge, or assessment may not be separately made or assessed to Licensee but shall be included in the assessment of the property of Licensor, then Licensee shall pay to Licensor an equitable proportion of such taxes determined by the value of Licensee’s property upon property of Licensor as compared with the entire value of such property.
C. As set forth in the "FLAGGING" Section of this Exhibit B, Licensor shall have the right, if it so elects, to provide any Safety Measures Licensor deems necessary for the safety of Licensor's operations and trackage during Licensee's or its contractor's construction, maintenance, modification, reconstruction, repair, renewal, revision, relocation, or removal of Licensee's Facilities, including, but not limited to supervision, inspection, and flagging services. In the event Licensor provides such Safety Measures, Licensor shall submit an itemized invoice to Licensee's notice recipient listed in the "NOTICES" Article of this Agreement. Licensee shall pay to Licensor the total amount listed on such invoice within thirty (30) days of Licensee's receipt of such invoice.
Section 8. MODIFICATIONS TO LICENSEE'S FACILITIES .
A. This grant is subject to Licensor's safe and efficient operation of its railroad, and continued use and improvement of Railroad Property (collectively, "Railroad's Use"). Accordingly, Licensee shall, at its sole cost and expense, modify, reconstruct, repair, renew, revise, relocate, or remove (individually, "Modification", or collectively, "Modifications") all or any portion of Licensee's Facilities as Licensor may designate or identify, in its sole discretion, in the furtherance of Railroad's Use.
B. Upon any Modification of all or any portion of Licensee's Facilities to another location on Railroad Property, Licensor and Licensee shall execute a Supplemental Agreement to this Pipeline Agreement to document the Modification(s) to Licensee's Facilities on Railroad Property. If the Modifications result in Licensee's Facilities moving off of Railroad Property, this Agreement will terminate upon Licensee's completion of such Modification(s) and all requirements contained within the "TERMINATION; REMOVAL OF LICENSEE’S FACILITIES" Section of this Exhibit B . Any such Modification(s) off of Railroad Property will not release Licensee from any liability or other obligation of Licensee arising prior to and upon completion of any such Modifications to the Licensee's Facilities.
Section 9. RESTORATION OF RAILROAD PROPERTY .
In the event Licensee, in any manner moves or disturbs any property of Licensor in connection with the construction, maintenance, modification, reconstruction, repair, renewal, revision, relocation, or removal of Licensee's Facilities, then, Licensee shall, as soon as possible and at Licensee’s sole cost and expense, restore Licensor’s property to the same condition as the same were before such property was moved or disturbed.
Section 10. INDEMNITY .

Agenda Item 3.A
RECOMME
NDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council (1) receive an informational report regarding the concept, design, and cost options for the Multi-Generational Recreation Center (CIP 78178), and (2) adopt a Resolution authorizing an appropriation in the amount of $15,800,000 from General Fund Reserves for the Multi-Generational Recreation Center (CIP 78178) to incorporate improvements to El Pescadero Park.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report requests that City Council authorize a budget augmentation of an additional $15,800,000 for the Multi-Generational Recreation Center CIP 78178, and also requests that City Council receive an informational report regarding the concept, design, and cost options for the facility. These actions will facilitate the completion of the MGRC project, including renovation of El Pescadero Park.
BACKGROUND AND LEGISLATIVE HISTORY
In 2018, the City Council approved the Multi-Generational Recreation Center (MGRC) as a major amenity that would be funded by Measure V sales tax r evenue providing a space to serve a broad spectrum of the City’s demographics, including families, teens, seniors and commuters.
At this time, the Council allocated $4 million to a capital improvement project for planning and design of this facility (Resolution 2018-043). Following that decision, the City hired the Dahlin Group to complete a Needs Assessment for the MGRC, which was completed in mid-2018.
In early 2021, the City Council approved a new plan for Measure V projects, including prioritizing the MGRC. The MGRC also received $5 million in State grant funding and $4 million in public benefit money for t he project.
On August 31, 2021, the City Council provided direction to staff to focus on a community recreation center that served Tracy residents, which meant a bi-furcation of the original project and removing the tournament-sized gymnasium component to a future project located at Legacy Fields. At that time, Council directed staff to conduct further analysis of Joseph Ceciliani Park and one ot
her site, to be determined, for the future MGRC. Council also established programming priorities (City Council Program Priorities) for the project in the following order from most important to least important:
1. Gymnasi
um
2. Outdoor Recreation Facilities
3. Multi-Purpose Room
4. Library and Education Spaces
5. Lounge/Lobby
6. Teaching Kitchen
On February
15, 2022, the City Council approved a Professional Services Agreement with LPA, Inc., a California Corporation (LPA), to lead site feasibility studies as well as the design and Agenda Item 3.A
October 18, 2022
development of construction documents for the MGRC (Resolution 2022-019).
On July 5, 2022, the City Council adopted a resolution (Resolution 2022-015) declaring El Pescadero Park as the site location for the MGRC and received an informational report regarding the community outreach process and the site selection process. Based on community feedback and analysis of the site, Joseph Ceciliani Park was no longer considered a viable option for the project. At the same time, Council also provided direction to staff to begin conceptual design of El Pescadero Park to address the condition of the park in association with the MGRC improvements.
ANALYSI
S
Sinc
e July 2022, the project steering committee, including City staff and LPA, have continued to move the MGRC project forward. Project activity has focused on programming evaluation and space allocation for the building, reviewing initial operational considerations, evaluating El Pescadero Park for opportunities/constraints, cost analysis for the MGRC and park, and presenting to the Arts Commission and Parks & Community Services Commissions to help better inform design decisions.
Over
all Project Schedule
Below
is a summary of the tentative schedule for the project based on the design of the MGRC and park improvements being presented in this report.
Task Timeline
Project Kickoff – Visioning, Programming,
Community Engagement
March – June 2022
Schematic Design Phase
(Including El Pescadero Park Conceptual Design)
July – October 2022
Design Development Phase November – February 2023
Construction Documents Phase February – September 2023
Bidding Phase September – November 2023
Construction Phase November 2023 – January 2025
Grand Opening Target March 2025
The MGRC,
including the El Pescadero Park Renovation project, is currently at the end of the schematic design phase. Schematic Design (sometimes referred to as conceptual design or 30% construction documents) is the initial stage of the design process and is generally defined as a representation of the elements of a system using abstract, graphic symbols rather than realistic pictures. As the design process continues to unfold, elements of the design such as:
foundation design, structural design, doors/windows, material selection, aesthetics, etc. will continue to be refined as well as the project budget. Schematic design helps establish a “design to” budget and facilitates the designer in making well-informed decisions that are critical to aligning the project with the budget.
The stee
ring committee has worked diligently to improve the grand opening target date by four months (March 2025) as compared to the schedule presented in July 2022.
Agenda Item 3.A
October 18, 2022
MGRC Concept + Program
The guiding
principles for the project fall within three categories: Design, Function and Sustainability.
The DESIG
N focuses on the human experience, strengthening community connection, being welcoming & inviting, promoting health & wellness, integration of the building & site, and the integration of public/community art as well as the City of Tracy history.
The FUNCTI
ON of the building and park is program orientated, focuses on space utilization, and places high value on the importance of maintenance and operations by specifying strong maintenance-friendly materials while also leaving flexibility for everchanging technology.
The buildi
ng also has a focus on SUSTAINABILITY targeting a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold certification. According to the LEED website “LEED certified buildings save money, improve efficiency, lower carbon emissions and create healthier places for people.” Targeting “Net Zero”, the building balances its energy needs with the energy produced from renewable, zero-emission sources such as photovoltaic panels. The building facade is assumed to have a 60/40 ratio of glass-to- metal allowing for lots of natural daylighting. Additionally, the park will capture and treat stormwater through a series of vegetative swales and basins, while reducing non- functional lawn areas and increasing biodiversity through the use of low-water native and ornamental plants and trees.
Build
ing Location
Sit
uated slightly east of center in El Pescadero Park, the MGRC footprint strikes a balance between site opportunities and constraints. The building location provides a substantial buffer space between the neighboring Stone Pine Meadow Apartments and the North School campus.
This approach allows for the building to be integrated with the open space and park program while also allowing the new parking lot and access drive to be immediately adjacent to the building. This location, coupled with a thoughtfully integrated architectural element (pavilion), allows the building to stretch itself westward over the park providing a memorable view and landmark upon arrival from the primary entrance at Grant Line Road and Parker Avenue.
Additional monumentation at both Grant Line Road and Kavanaugh Avenue would further celebrate the MGRC.
Buil
ding Program Priorities
Duri
ng the schematic design phase, the City Council Program Priorities were carefully examined along with feedback from the community. The MGRC concept has evolved to feature an active wing, a passive wing, a central lobby for access control, and covered outdoor gathering spaces.
The buildi
ng currently includes the following programming/spaces: Gymnasium*, Outdoor Amenities*, Multi-purpose Space*, Maker Space (Library) + Education Space*, Lobby/Lounge Space*, Warming Kitchen, Parks & Recreation Office Suite, Police Department Office, Indoor Running Track**, Bouldering Wall**, Grand Stair and Pavilion (*City Council Program Priority / ** Community Outreach Priority).
Agenda Item 3.A
October 18, 2022
There are some key points regarding the building program. • The design of this facility is continuing to evolve. Each space within the building will be evaluated in much more detail as the project moves into Design Development phase. • The libr
ary component is not a traditional brick and mortar library. This area of the MGRC is envisioned to be a combination of maker space, teen lounge and tech area. - Staff does believe there is potential to partner with the County library program to bring a mobile library to the MGRC on a regular basis.
• The kit
chen component has been simplified to a “warming kitchen” from the City Council’s #6 priority of a “teaching kitchen”. This space was simplified to a warming kitchen due to low interest in a teaching kitchen from the community outreach process, substantial costs associated with constructing this space, and to better align with other programming in the building. Staff and LPA believe a warming kitchen will satisfy the needs of this facility and allow funds to be shifted to other program priorities.
See At
tachment A for the conceptual floor plan and a programming narrative for each space in the building.
Proj
ect Cost Options and Operational Cost Assumptions for MGRC Three opt
ions have been developed during the schematic design process for the MGRC. A core set of programs/spaces is unwavering in each option, but there are a few program elements that require City Council consideration and further direction to staff. The program elements that need to be considered are as follows:
• Gymnasium –Three-Court or Two-Court?
• Elevated Running Track – Yes or no?
• Bouldering Wall – Yes or no?
Cost
Option 1 contemplates a two-court gym with NO running track and NO bouldering wall. • MGRC = 31,152 Gross Square Feet
• Gym at 400-person community banquet capacity and 150 spectators seating • Total Project Cost Range = $56.7 million - $60.8 million Cost
Option 2 contemplates a two-court gym with running track and bouldering wall. • MGRC = 37,392 Gross Square Feet
• Gym at 400-person community banquet capacity and 150 spectators seating • Elevated Running Track provides multi-generational programming opportunity and space for functional fitness training
• Bouldering Wall (high community priority) adds additional programming opportunities • Total Project Cost Range = $60.8 million - $64.8 million Cost
Option 3 contemplates a three-court gym with enlarged running track and bouldering wall. • MGRC = 46,692 Gross Square Feet
• Gym at 600-person community banquet capacity and 200 spectators seating o Provides flexibility for multi-sport and multi-generational programming o Creates ability to host local sports tournaments
• Elevated Running Track provides multi-generational programming opportunity and space for functional fitness training
Agenda Item 3.A
October 18, 2022
• Bouldering Wall (high community priority) adds additional programming opportunities • Total Project Cost Range = $64.8 million - $70.2 million The inclusion of a third court in the gym, a bouldering wall and/or an elevated running track will enhance the programming opportunities for the f acility and likely increase cost recovery.
Although a full operational analysis has not yet been completed on the MGRC, it is important to note that industry standard for cost recovery on similar faci lities is 25-35% of operating costs.
El Pescadero Park Improvements
Based on previous City Council direction, El Pescadero Park was also evaluated through the Schematic Design process and a conceptual design for the site was created in conjunction with the MGRC.
Existing Conditions at El Pescadero Park (14.62-acre Community Park) The current park inventory includes a dog park, a playgr ound, a restroom building, a 1/2 basketball court, a skate park, open lawn areas, a designated parking lot, and vehicular access to the parking lot from Grant Line Road.
In recent years, the park has sustained a higher level of wear of tear due to the ongoing unsheltered encampment. Much of the irrigation infrastructure within the park has been impacted by this activity and large areas of lawn have fallen into disrepair. Additionally, the restroom building
and parking lot has seen an uptick in heavy usage in recent years. • Cora K-9
Dog Park – at least 30 years old with some minor improvements in recent years from local non-profits. Heavily used without irrigation and drainage infrastructure to support the use.
• Playground – features 2-5 and 5-12 age specific play areas and is halfway through its useful life (approximately 8 years old). ADA accessibility could be improved. • Restroom – approximately 7 years old and in need of some minor enhancements (painting, fixture replacement, etc.).
• Basketball Court – the half court is approximately 8 years old and could benefit from a new hoop and sport court surfacing.
• Skate Park – constructed in 1999, this 23-year-old skate park is quite dated which affects the utilization.
• Landscaping – the park has +/- 140 existing trees. The park landscaping has suffered in recent uses due to failing irrigation infrastructure and encampment activities in the park. • Parking Lot – oddly configured, this area does not function well and has experienced heavy usage in recent years due to activity in the park.
Communi
ty Preferences for Park Program
As discu
ssed in a previous staff report, the community workshops for the MGRC also capture feedback quality feedback on park programming.
Recap of
top community priorities for the park:
1. Splash Pad
2. Fitness Loop
Agenda Item 3.A
October 18, 2022
3. Children’s Play Area
4. Skating
5. Picnic (Pavilion)
6. Dog Park
7. Play Courts
8. Educational Opportunities (STEM)
9. Nature Exploration
Vehic
ular Circulation
El
Pescadero Park’s existing parking lot has capacity for 58 standard stalls. Additional parallel parking for approximately 25 vehicles is possible on Kavanaugh Avenue. The conceptual design for the park and MGRC reconfigures the existing parking lot to improve efficiency of traffic flow, expands parking capacity, creates a drop off area near the building, and creates a vehicular connection up to Kavanaugh Avenue. The proposed parking expands on-site parking to +/- 190 vehicles and retains parallel parking for approximately 25 vehicles on Kavanaugh Avenue. This configuration creates 110 stalls for the MGRC, 50 stalls for the park, and 10 stalls for Tracy Interfaith Ministries. The current ground lease between the City of Tracy and Tracy Interfaith Ministries includes a provision for the City to provide non-exclusive use of the park parking lot to Tracy Interfaith.
Pedest
rian and Bike Circulation
The exis
ting park has a very simple pedestrian circulation system with no walking loop and no bike facilities. There is an existing Class III bikeway on Kavanaugh Avenue and a Class II bikeway on Grant Line Road. The conceptual design envisions a Promenade creating a strong pedestrian and bikeway connection north and south through the park. The Promenade will be a multi-use path featuring a Class I bikeway. This element can be funded using Transit Funds as it will be expanding the City’s existing bike system network. In addition to the Promenade, the park will feature multiple opportunities for walking loops and soft-surface paths (ie. nature walks).
Surf
aces & Tree Canopy
The concept
ual design is aligning with sustainability principles of the MGRC by reducing the amount of non-functional lawn within the park as well as increasing biodiversity through the use of drought tolerant native and ornamental plants and trees. Stormwater treatment areas are also being created throughout the park to capture stormwater runoff and treat it using vegetative swales and basins. Also of note, the park currently has approximately 140 trees and the conceptual design will be increasing that amount to approximately 250 trees with a goal of protecting at least 50 of the healthiest trees. A full arborist report will be completed for the park during the Design Development phase.
El
Pescadero Park Conceptual Design Features (See Attachment B for visual) The concept
ual design for the park carefully considers the condition of each existing amenity and strives to meet as many of the expressed community preferences as possible. In general, the park will have all existing landscape areas and amenities addressed. Below is a list of features.
Agenda Item 3.A
October 18, 2022
1. North-Sou
th Promenade – Tree lined main pedestrian/bike path, secondary walkways
2. Monument Signs – entry monument at main and neighborhood promenade entry
3. Parking and Drop Off – New +/- 200 spaces and drop off area
4. Pavilion – Multifunctional shade structure: stage/outdoor community room/picnic area
5. Playground and Splash Pad – Existing playground to remain, upgrade surfacing, add 1,500 square foot splash pad
6. Dog Park – New dog park with fencing, sitting area, drinking fountain and dog play amenities
7. Skate Park – New skate park with fencing, sitting area and drinking fountain
8. Basketball Court – Existing court to remain, upgrade surfacing and hoop
9. Stormwater Gardens – Meandering stormwater swale gardens
10. Nature Walks and Fitness – Decomposed granite walks, sitting areas and fitness stations
11. Planting – New planting for the entire park
12. CMU Block Wall – Existing capital project with funding
13. Public Art – multiple locations throughout the park El Pescadero Park Improvements Budget
As designed, the conceptual design for El Pescadero Park has a total project cost range of $15 million to $17 million. There are a few key assumptions with this estimated cost. First, it should be noted that part of this cost includes some parking lot and traffic improvements that are not included in the MGRC cost estimate. Second, the costs for the park improvements and the MGRC assume that this is one construction proj ect. One construction project simplifies the proce
ss and reduces project costs for construction documentation, contractor mobilization/demobilization and construction management services.
Staff is recommending that this park project be funded using two funding sources. The North- South Promenade is eligible for Transit (TDA) Funds at a cost of approximately $1,200,000.
General Fund reserves would pay for the remainder of the project to address existing conditions and reactivate
the park in conjunction with the MGRC at approximately $13.8 million to $15.8 million.
Staff is r equesting that the City Council, by resolution, incorporate all the improvements ident
ified in the El Pescadero Park conceptual design into the MGRC CIP 78178 and supplement the project budget with an additional $15,800,000 from General Fund Reserves.
Project Budget Analysis
Depending on City Council direction, the total project budget will vary.

The current project budget for MGRC (CIP 78178) is $40,000,000 which includes the following funding sources:
• $31 million Measure V (Lease Revenue Bond) (Resolution #2022-087) • $5 million State Specified Grant (Resolution #2022-085) • $4 million public benefit money (Resolution #2022-085) The $40 mi
llion budget for the MGRC was established in October of 2017 when the City Council provided direction to staff to move forward with multiple Measure V priority projects and has not been reassessed since that time. The original $40 million budget was funded fully through Measure V. Over the last two years, City’s project received $9 million in funding through a State grant ($5 million) and a community benefit payment ($4 million). The Project budget (CIP 78178) remained set at $40 million as the project entered into the design phase, which only committed $31 million of the Measure V funds. The City has $9 million in uncommitted Measure V assigned to this project as a result of the grants and community benefit funding. Depending on the direction provided by the City Council, the budget may require the commitment of the remaining $9 million. In addition, the Project, as designed with office, library/community, and Police substation spaces, is eligible for approximately $8 million to $12 million in developer impact fees and will be considered outside the Measure V funded project.
This
Project’s cost estimations, like most capital project budgets, have been heavily impacted by inflation in recent years which has been an ongoing topic of discussion. The range in pricing reflects assumptions of inflation based on projected construction timelines.
Poss
ible options to address the project shortfall include:
• Increase bond financing
• Proceed with Cost Option 1 or 2 for MGRC
• Continue seeking grants
Next
Steps
Once
direction is received from Council, staff will return to the City Council with a professional services agreement (PSA) to address the expanded scope for the MGRC including park improvements identified in the El Pescadero Park conceptual design. The project budget range shown in this report includes a percentage of the project budget for expansion of required design services. Once a PSA is approved by Council, the project will immediately move into the Agenda Item 3.A
October 18, 2022
design development phase.
It
should also be noted that staff must also procure services for the following professional services related to the construction of the MGRC: Construction Management Services, LEED Services and Building Commissioning Services, which are all factored into the current project cost range listed in the report.
PUBL
IC OUTREACH/ INTEREST

COORDI
NATION
The MGRC p
roject has an established Steering Committee, as well as an Executive Committee. The Steering Committee meets very regularly and consists of LPA and City staff from both Parks & Recreation and Utilities & Operations departments. The Executive Team meets quarterly and consists of LPA, Tracy Unified School District and City staff from the following departments: City Manager’s Office, Finance, Parks & Recreation, Police, and Utilities & Operations. There is also ongoing coordination with Tracy Interfaith Ministries and South County Fire Authority since both entities occupy space within El Pescadero Park.
CEQA
DETERMINATION
The envir
onmental and traffic consultants for the MGRC project have been secured as sub- consultants under LPA’s contract. Some of that work has begun, but the bulk of the CEQA work will begin once the City Council provides direction on the scope and scale of the project.

Multi-Generational Recreation Center Programming Narrative • Gymnas
ium – As the City Council’s #1 program priority, the gymnasium (gym) is the primary program for the facility and accounts for the largest allocation of square footage within the building. This space has been designed to accommodate two or three high school-sized basketball courts without major implications to the design of the rest of the building. Estimated capacity for a 2-court gym ranges from 25 people to 400 people and up to 600 people for a 3-court gym. This space also features a spectator seating area for approximately 150+ people, dedicated storage areas and an elevated running track.
Recreation programming within the gym may include basketball, volleyball, pickleball, futsal, ballroom dancing, E-sports, four square, and badminton. The gym can also be used for community event space and serve as a community emergency cooling space. The elevated running track was a popular amenity through the community outreach process and adds significant multi-generational programming opportunities to the MGRC. • Outdoor Amenities – The City Council’s #2 program priority is outdoor amenities. The MGRC features two outdoor spaces on the first floor: a 1,500-square-foot patio and a 4,500- square-foot gathering courtyard. On the second floor, the building design features a 500- square-foot outdoor deck overlooking the entry area and park. These are flexible spaces that allow the indoor programming to bleed into an outdoor environment, while also creating opportunities for unique outdoor programming such as after school programs, movies in the courtyard, health and wellness programs, and/or other community events. The conceptual design for El Pescadero Park also provides another layer of outdoor amenities which will be described in more detail later in the report.
• Multi-Purpose Space – The MGRC includes 2,177 square feet of multi-purpose space. An operable wall divides the room into two spaces, maximizing flexibility. Each space opens up to the outdoor patio via an accordion-style nana wall. Multi-purpose space was the City Council’s #3 program priority, and the design provides opportunities for a variety of multi- generational health and wellness programming such as tai chi, piyo strength, zumba, tabata fitness, self-defense and personal violence prevention, yoga, and more. • Makers Space (Library) +Education Space –The City Council’s #4 program priority space focuses on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) programming. The MGRC features an 824-square-foot technology area, a 784-square-foot makers space, and an 813- square-foot teen lounge. This community space will provide educational opportunities through such programs as academic tutoring, robotic car design, video game design, Young Engineer’s programs, teen/youth clubs for books and gaming, and other technology camps. • Lobby/Lounge Space – The 3,000-square-foot lobby functions as access control via a reception area, but also provides programming opportunities. The focal point of the lobby is a large bouldering wall, which was the community’s top item of interest during public outreach. The lobby also features a staircase to the second floor of the building and track, as well as seating and programming space. Just off the lobby is a reception area with two dedicated offices for staff actively managing the facility and storage for equipment that can be checked out from the reception area.
• Warming Kitchen – The MGRC features a roughly 400-square-foot warming kitchen, which is a shift from previous discussions with the City Council. A teaching kitchen was the City Council’s lowest program priority. This element was simplified to a warming kitchen due to low interest in a teaching kitchen from the community outreach process, the substantial costs associated with constructing the teaching space, and the desire to better align with other programming in the building. Staff and LPA believe a warming kitchen will satisfy the needs of this facility and allow funds to be shifted to other program priorities. • Parks & Recreation Office Suite & Police Department Office – During the community ATTACHMENT "A"
outreach process, there was an overwhelming response to reactive El Pescadero Park. The community also expressed concern as to how the City was going to prevent the park from becoming unsafe after the MGRC project is complete. One common thread in safer parks is that the level of activity within that park is generally high. In the short-term, capital investment in the park is a great strategy to increase activity (i.e.. enhancing existing amenities, building new amenities, improving lighting, aesthetics, etc.). In the long-term, the park must remain active through a variety of programming and an enhanced level of observation. This can be achieved through the incorporation of office space for both the Parks & Recreation Department and the Police Department at this facility. This strategy also supports key findings in the Citywide Public Facilities Master Plan regarding the shortage of existing space for the Parks & Recreation Department staff and other departments at City Hall. The MGRC would be the new home of Parks & Recreation and further implements the department’s strategic plan. This office suite would include private offices, open office space, two conference rooms, a copy area and a break room. Secondarily, the creation of a 350-square-foot Police Department office space near the main entrance of the facility puts a heightened focus on public safety at the MGRC and within El Pescadero Park. The Police office space would support the PAL (Police Activities League) program, the Community Preservation Unit and the Drug Abuse Resistance (D.A.R.E.) program, as well as support officers doing reports in a remote location.
• Pavilion – The pavilion is a fully integrated architectural feature extending off the primary building. This is a critical element for orientating the community to the primary entrance of the facility. Also, this large, shaded space within the park creates a significant community gathering area, providing opportunities for picnicking, lounging, event space, and more. It is also located immediately adjacent to a large flexible lawn area supporting spectator opportunities.
Als
o of note, the building program includes circulation spaces, an elevator, three sets of stairs, utility and custodial areas, various storage areas, and restroom facilities.
