SUBJECT: Replacement of Facade and Mod1flcations to the Second Street
Stairwell of Parking Structure NO.4
Introduct1on
ThlS report concerns alternatlves for the extenslon of the facade and
modlflcatlons to the Second Street Stairwell at Parklng Structure No.4.
Background
When Clty Councll conceptually approved the Arizona Plaza project, one
of the key provislons of the development was that 304 park1ng spaces be
built atop Parklng Structure No.4. Th1S necessltates the addltion of four
floors and consequent extenslon of the facade,
The eX1sting metal gr1lle facade has a closely knlt architectural pattern
which makes the interior of the structure seem closed. In addltion,
closed lnter10r part1tion walls 1n the Second Street stainJell contribute
to the problem. By remov1ng the stalrwell partltlon walls and existlng facade;
and constructlng a new open facade the full he1ght of the build1ng, security
and ventilation wlth1n Parking Structure No.4 can be improved.
The proposed facade cons1sts of concrete spandrels and pipe rails Slm1lar to
the alley-s1de deslgn. This open design has recelved conceptual approval
from the Arch1tectural Review Board. Coastal Commission approval has been
obtalned for this proJect,

At the August 12, 1980 Councll meetlng, action was taken to contlnue this
item to September 9,1980. At that meetlng the Councll did not approve
the facade deslgn nor were funds appropriated. Instead the staff was
dlrected to prepare modlficatlons to the deslgn and on October 14, 1980
authorizatlon was glven to engage an arch1tect at a fee not to exceed $3,000.
Also an Ad Hoc committee consisting of (ouncll members Scott, Reed, and
Yannatta-Goldway were apPo1nted to work w1th the staff regarding the details
of modlficatlons deslred. ThlS committee also included design review board
member Prochnow.
Th1S group met w1th the staff and reached a consensus Wh1Ch approved the concept
of the prevlously subm1tted staff prepared deslgn, but with certaln changes.
These changes included providlng the same type of facade on the port1on 1n
front of the sta1rwells, openlng up the facade on the ground level and adding
transparent doors to the elevators.
The staff retalned the archltectural firm of Donley-Bundy and Associates
to prepare archltectural drawlngs to incorporate these changes. The drawings
wlll be avallable at the Councl1 meetlng and in the Council offlce prior to
the (ouncll meeting.
Estimated Costs:
The developer, Teleklew Productlons, Inc., has estimated that the cost of
removal of the eXlsting facade and constructlon of the new facade lncludlng
the 4-story additlon portlon, at 5250,000. ThlS amount includes $96,000
of facade work requlred due to the addltion. The cost to the City for the

facade changes 1f approved would be ~154,OOO. The estimated cost of the
stairwell modlflcation 15 525,000 and the est1mated cost of the elevator
door mod1f1catlons 1S $28,000,
Funds are ava1lable 1n the amount of $240,000 1n the Parklng Structure Reserve
Fund to accomplish this work.
Alternat1ve
City Council may elect to requ1re the developer match the eX1st1ng facade
in Wh1Ch case there w1ll be no cost to the C1ty. The staff recommends that
the stairwell modificat1ons and elevator door modificatlons be done at an
est1mated cost of $53,000 1n any case. It lS 1mperative that a decis10n
regarding these modif1cations be made immedlately because the contractor w1ll
be completlng the work before the end of the year and wlll be leaving the
Job slte. If the contractor must return to the job slte after leav1ng, each
of the estimated costs wlll be much h1gher.
Recommendatlon
It 1S recommended that the City Council approprlate $240,000 (lncluding
533,000 for lnspection and contingency costs) from the Parklng Structure
Reserve Fund (Account No. 01-500-412-000-920) and author1ze the staff to
negotlate a contract with C.W. Driver Company for the entire new facade, new
stairwell modificat1ons, and new elevator doors for a sum not to exceed
$240,000.
