Jackson, Real Estate Manager curtis.jackson@carlsbadca.gov or 760-434-2836 Subject: Scoping and Space Planning Analysis Report and Site Evaluation Criteria Report for a new city hall. Recommended Action Adopt a Resolution accepting the Scoping and Space Planning Analysis Report and Site Evaluation Criteria Report for a new. city hall. Executive Summary On January 23, 2018, the City Council approved an agreement with MIG, Inc. as the consultant to provide a scoping and space planning analysis for a new city hall. The scope of the agreement called for three deliverables, including a Scoping and Space Planning Analysis Report, a Site Evaluation Criteria Report, and a final Written Report which will include staff's best professional recommendation for a new city hall and civic center location. The purpose of this staff report is to present the first two deliverables, the Scoping and Space Planning Analysis Report and the Site Evaluation Criteria Report for City Council review and acceptance. Discussion In January 2016 and February 2017, the City Council conducted goal setting workshops where the City Council established a goal expressing their desire to have a majority of the city's administrative workforce, elected officials, and city council chamber in one location. The city owns and has identified four properties that could be selected as the location for a new city hall, as an integral component of a larger civic center campus: the existing city hall location, the Pine Avenue Community Park/Senior Center, the Farmer's property, and the Faraday Center. On September 19, 2017, the City Council authorized the issuance of a Request for Proposals (RFP) to identify a consultant to conduct a city hall scoping and space planning analysis (Resolution No. 2017-188). In response to the RFP, on January 23, 2018, the City Council selected and approved an agreement with MIG, Inc. as the consultant for the project (Resolution No. 2018-007). The scope of the agreement called for three deliverables, including a Scoping and Space Planning Analysis Report (Deliverable 1), Site Evaluation Criteria Report (Deliverable 2), and a final Written Report which will include staff's best professional recommendation for a new city hall and civic center location (Deliverable 3). The Scoping and Space Planning Analysis Report and Site Evaluation Criteria Report are now before the City Council for consideration. September 17, 2019 Item #8 Page 1 of 88 Public Engagement and Outreach MIG, with the assistance of a city staff team and city public outreach consultants (The Participation Company), conducted outreach and engaged with key stakeholders in formulating a plan for public input on a new city hall located on a site that could accommodate a new civic center. The outreach plan included two community workshops which presented a general introduction to the city hall site selection process, 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. Further, the city released a direct mailer which also provided information on the future city hall and civic center and a link to an online survey on the city's website with questions related to a new city hall and city council chamber. Approximately 200 people participated in the community workshops and approximately 300 on line survey responses were received providing a wide range of input to help inform the project scoping and site criteria. Scoping and Space Planning Analysis MIG, with the assistance of sub-consultant ID Studios, Inc. and the city staff team, conducted a thorough analysis of the existing city facilities, current and projected staffing and office space needs, current industry best practices for commercial office space, organizational structure and objectives, public use and ease of access to city administrative facilities, parking, surrounding land use compatibility issues, maintenance, and a variety of other factors. The conclusions in the Scoping and Space Planning Analysis Report (Attachment A to Exhibit 1) represent an informed estimate of the amount of building square footage needed, which will be used in evaluating the selection of a city hall location and the planning and development of a new city hall located on a site that can accommodate a new civic center. Currently, the square footage for the existing City Hall and the Faraday Center totals 111,500 square feet and the 2018 staff count totals 278 people. The Scoping and Space Planning Analysis Report provides an overall estimate of the square footage and workforce projections to the year 2035. The overall building summary was calculated for a single building/single story scenario, and for a multi-story/multiple building scenario. The estimated square footage for a single building/single story scenario is 141,761 square feet, and the estimated square footage for a multi-story/multi-building scenario is 184,289 square feet. Staff projections for 2035 are estimated at 333 people. Site Evaluation Criteria Based on the information gathered from the public engagement and outreach and internal meetings with the city staff team, MIG created a draft Site Evaluation Criteria matrix to help ascertain which factors were most important to residents and city staff alike in selecting a new city hall location including: proximity to other city facilities, surrounding land uses, site flexibility, ease of access, public transportation, curb appeal, parking, constructability, and funding sources. MIG and the city staff team reviewed the draft matrix in depth and revised the Site Evaluation Criteria, with a goal of clarifying and identifying the most important and relevant Site Evaluation Criteria factors. The final recommended Site Evaluation Criteria are organized into six major categories: Location, Transportation and Utilities, Site Character, Size and Configuration, Constructability, and Funding Sources/Opportunity Costs. In the next phase of public outreach leading towards a new city hall location recommendation, the Site Evaluation September 17, 2019 Item #8 Page 2 of 88 Criteria will be one tool used to evaluate the four potential city hall locations. The full Site Evaluation Criteria Report is attached to this staff report (Attachment B to Exhibit 1). Fiscal Analysis There is no fiscal impact associated with this staff report. Funds for this work effort were previously appropriated from Community Facilities District No. 1. Next Steps Following City Council acceptance of the Scoping and Space Planning Analysis Report and the Site Evaluation Criteria Report, the project team will utilize these reports and again seek community feedback and input on conceptual site plans, to include a new city hall and a greater civic center; for each of the four potential sites. The conceptual site plans will be presented to the community by early 2020. This will be done through a similar process as the earlier community engagement, to include a community workshop and an on line component. Community feedback, the results of applying the Site Evaluation Criteria to each site, and the conceptual site plans will then be presented to the City Council for consideration in early 2020. This work effort will be compiled into a Final Written Report which will include staff's best professional recommendation for the location of a new city hall and civic center. At that time, the City Council will have the option of choosing a city hall and civic center location or providing additional direction to city staff.

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.

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 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.

Site Evaluation Criteria 3.1 Community Outreach 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.
