Scoping and Space Planning Analysis
Report 1
1. Executive Summary
Background
The Space Needs Analysis captures the projected needs
for interior square footage to support the City of Carlsbad's
scoping for a new City Hall. This evaluation studies how to
utilize workspace for the City of Carlsbad services and the
local community. The Space Needs Analysis is in support of
the city government and city administration services through
the year 2035.
The City of Carlsbad has reviewed several workplace concepts
with the consultants and is recommending an approach
for long-term, flexible, modular workspace. This approach
increases open work environments; standardizes private office,
open workstation and conference room sizes; increases shared
collaborative spaces; and focuses on design for well-being
including access to daylight, fresh air, and indoor/outdoor
spaces.
Analysis
In Phase 1 of the analysis, consultants from ID Studios, Inc.
facilitated a workshop which helped identify space needs
through a series of informative and interactive data gathering
exercises with the City of Carlsbad administration leaders.
Phase 2 of the analysis focused on personnel growth
projections. Interior workspace programming questionnaires
were issued to city government and administration
department leaders to gather individual workspace
requirements for current and future city government members
and city employees. The team followed up with individual
interviews of key department leaders and city staff. The
consultant team reviewed the square footage utilized for
private office space, open office workstations, general
conference rooms and applied growth factors to provide
projections for 2035.
Limitations
Space needs are preliminary and concept level only. Final
design will require further studies, exploration, and updated
city needs through an interactive design process. Among
other requirements, during final design, measures such as the
current California building codes, CalGreen codes, stormwater
capture requirements, traffic demand management, and fire
prevention will be evaluated as the project develops.
Results
The consulting team developed an overall Space Needs
Analysis Summary for workforce projections to the year 2035.
The overall building summary has been estimated for a single
building, single story scenario, and for a multi-story/multiple
building scenario. The baseline square footage for a single
building/single story scenario is 141,761 SF. The baseline
square footage for a multi-story/multiple building scenario is
184,289 SF. Current square footage provided in the Scoping &
Space Planning Analysis Request for Proposals (RFP) indicated
that the City's existing City Hall property has a cumulative total
of 43,500 SF, and the Faraday Center has 68,000 SF, for a total
of 111,500 SF.
2019 staff total 278 people for the departments identified
in this study. Staff projections for 2035 are estimated at 333
people for the same departments.

Site Analysis and Site Criteria -Report 2
1. Executive Summary
Background
The planning and design approach is inspired by the desire
to create a vibrant new Civic Center that reflects the vision of
the Carlsbad community, one that meets the need for a new
City Hall. The design process included the City's community
engagement process, several interactive design workshops
with the City's core advisory team and other key stakeholders,
in depth interviews with City departments and City Council
presentations.
The first part of the design process included the analysis of
the City's current and future space needs for a new City Hall.
Information was gathered through department interviews,
interviews of frequent users, 1 and community outreach
surveys (see Section 3.1 Community Outreach). That effort is
documented in the Scoping and Space Plann ing Analysis for a
New City Hall (Report 1) completed in March 2019.
A Site Analysis for each of the City's four sites was conducted.
Site Opportunities diagrams and narratives were generated
to understand the unique physical characteristics and context
of each of the sites. As part of the site evaluation process,
general Site Evaluation Criteria that are applicable to each site
were developed.
1 Frequent users included a list of City of Carlsbad customers who
were part of a 2016/2017 "customer survey" conducted by the
Planning Department. This included frequent use of the services
provided at the Faraday Center.
Analysis
The Site Analysis identifies the opportunities and constraints
of each of the four properties (Pine Street, Existing City Hall,
Farmer's and Faraday) for their potential to create a vibrant
Civic Center that includes a new City Hall. The analysis utilized
air photo images, maps and site visits. A site analysis diagram
was generated for each site documenting existing physical
elements influencing the site.
The Site Evaluation Criteria were derived from the results of
the Community Outreach process, the City's core team review
and City management and staff meetings. The criteria reflect
the priorities established in those meetings and are organized
into six overarching categories:
1. Location
2. Transportation and Utilities
3. Site Character
4. Size and Configuration
5. Constructability
6. Funding Sour~es/Opportunity Costs
Results
The Site Analysis process resulted in narratives for each of the
four sites that describe their physical assets and challenges.
This analysis is a key component of the design process.
The site criteria are one of the methods the City and the
consulting team used to evaluate each site. There are key
site criteria that are met by all sites, for example "Reflect the
Essence of Carlsbad." Other criteria may be met by one or
some of the sites, but not others. The Site Criteria Matrix in this
report emerged from this process.

Site Analysis and Site Criteria -Report 2
2. Site Opportunities (Existing Conditions)
2.1 Introduction
Each of the four City owned sites were analyzed to understand
the physical characteristics, the context of the site, the
location and other influences (for example, existing uses on
the site). The consultant team visited each site with a City
guide, documenting impressions and observations with notes
and photographs, and gathering information from users
when possible. The team used these notes and observations
along with existing site maps and topographic information
and created the following Site Opportunity Diagrams.· Each
diagram has a written narrative describing the Attributes and
Advantages of each site. The consultant team determined that
each site was able to fit the new City Hall and Civic Center
program. These findings were presented to the City's Core
design team initially in March 2018, and again in October
2018.

The community engagement component of this process
incorporated a robust community outreach effort. The
Participation Company assisted the City in outreach and
communication to key stakeholders in formulating a plan for
public input on the Civic Center project. This work includes
assisting in the design of workshops and on line engagement
with the community for this project (community outreach).
The first week of June 2018, the City released its direct mailer
which provided:
• information on the future City Hall and Civic Center
• a link to the City's on line survey which went live
July 1, 2018 and
• invited the public to attend the two community
meetings the City hosted.
The two community outreach meetings were held on:
• Workshop No. 1: Thursday, June 21, 2018
(6:00 pm -8:00 pm) at the Faraday Center
• Workshop No. 2: Saturday, June 23, 2018
(10:00 am -12:00 pm) at the Senior Center
The community workshops included a general introduction
to the City Hall selection process, provision of project
background (including a short video about the project and
the need for a new City Hall), a discussion about community
values and a placemaking and City Hall criteria discussion.
Online electronic surveys were developed for City of Carlsbad
resident's input on current and desired future public use
spaces at/for City Hall services, including: Building, Planning,
Administrative Services, and City Council Chambers. Input was
solicited fr~m frequent users of these services arid associated
public use spaces.
Over 400 people participated in either the workshops or
on line survey providing a wide range of input.
3.2 Site Evaluation Criteria
Process
The consultant team combined the data collected from the
community outreach results with the Site Opportunities
Studies for each of the four sites to develop the Site
Evaluation Criteria. Through a series of consultant team
workshops, meetings with the City's core team, and a
meeting with the larger city management and staff team,
the Site Evaluation Criteria were vetted and refined. The Site
Evaluation Criteria Matrix on the following page is a result of
this process and represent the recommended Site Evaluation
Criteria. The Criteria are one measure of the Site evaluation
process. Some of the sites will meet more of the criteria than
others; and this matrix provides a general overview to inform
the Site evaluation process.
As we move forward with the next phase of public outreach,
the Site Evaluation Criteria will be one tool used to evaluate
the four potential City Hall locations.
