SR-303-011 (2) Attachment I ~4;{ J.I ' PP&6s Virginia Avenue Park Expansion Recommended Concept Design Submitted to the City of Santa Monica, December 1999 Virginia Avenue Park Expansion Recommended Concept Design Introduction This report is the product of the public process that was initiated in 1998 to formulate a recommended concept design plan for the expansion of Virginia Avenue Park. Contents Introduction 1 Existing Park and Expansion Site Conditions 3 Public Process 6 Recommended Concept Design Plan 11 Estimated Project Costs 18 Virginia Avenue Park is a 5.82-acre neighborhood park located adjacent to Virginia Avenue between Cloverfield Boulevard and 21st Street within Santa Monica's Pico neighborhood. In Santa Monica, Virginia Avenue Park best exemplifies the role that a neighborhood park can play in serv- ing the recreation and social needs of local residents. It is home to the Thelma Terry Community Center and the Police Activities League (PAL) Youth Fitness Gym. Combined, both facilities provide programs targeted to youth, families and seniors, including information and referrals, work- shops, classes, and fitness activities. Beginning in 1988, the City began assembling the parcels located on the northwest corner of Pico and Cloverfield Boulevards. By 1995 this 2.9- acre expansion site was fully acquired and formally designated by the Santa Monica City Council for park expansion. In November, 1998, following the selection of a design team led by Takata Associates, an extensive community input process was initiated to formulate a recom- mended concept design for this expansion site. As this process was concluding, the City Council authorized the pur- chase of two properties totaling 0.8 acres adjacent to the western side of the Park for additional park expansion opportunities. In February, 1999, the Recreation and Parks Commission established a Working Group to An aerial view of the existing Park, looking west from the intersection of Pico Boulevard and Cloverfield Boulevard. 1 Existing Park Site Plan and Expansion Areas NORTH ffi Building A (2115 PieD Blvd.) Building B (2101 PieD Blvd.) Virginia Avenue Park Expansion Recommended Concept Design facilitate a public planning process for the integration of these two par- cels into the expansion project. After carefully considering options and alternatives for incorporating these parcels into the overall expansion project, the Working Group formulated the preferred concept plan as described in this report. The concept plan responds to community preferences and successfully: . maximizes green space . incorporates expansion areas in a seamless way . uses a "campus" approach to organize existing buildings for com- munity needs and programs . provides a range of outdoor recreational activities . is sensitive to neighborhood needs . reuses existing buildings in support of sustainable City goals --~, i~.J : I ;-A ~ ' I 1 l' . : L.L, ~ : ---l~ _ .I j 'f 1- - --~ CLOVERFIELD BLVD .----.r--r ~~ _._ I - it' 'k'-.J. ~: , , ' , :..

The minutes from the Working Group meetings outline in detail many of the concerns and suggestions raised, and how they were addressed in the formulation of the Working Group's recommendations. The Working Group considered tennis courts, paddle tennis courts, and discussed concerns with the handba/J courts, farmer's market, parking, and the permanent pool. Virginia Avenue Park Expansion Recommended Concept Design 1999 Community Process for Incorporation of the O.8-acre Western Expansion Area In February, 1999, the Recreation and Parks Commission established a nine member Working Group to develop recommendations and a con- cept design plan for incorporating this site into the Park design. The Working Group began meeting in June 1999 and met six times through October, 1999. Meetings were publicly noticed and advertised. Spanish translation and childcare was provided. On average, approximately 35 people attended each of these meetings. The Working Group members are: Frank Schwengel, Chair (Chair, Recreation & Parks Commission) Lupe Castro (Recreation & Parks Commission) Susan Cloke (Recreation & Parks Commission) Ed Bell (VAPAB) Peter Tigler (VAPAB) Tara Zaccagnino (VAPAB) Ken Briesch (Planning Commission) Cindy Cruz (Youth Representative) Brent Younger (Youth Representative) Alternates Eric Faber (VAPAB) Alec Munoz (VAPAB) Meeting 1: (June 23) Meeting 2: (July 12) Meeting 3: (July 29) Meeting 4: (Aug 10) Meeting 5: (Sept 13) Meeting 6: (Oct 7) Review of the history of the initial concept design Review of existing building conditions Initial ideas and programming Working group goals Programming options and building scenarios Presentation and discussion of options for development Tenets of the vision statement Vision statement refinement Preliminary concept design plan presentation Vision statement adoption Refined concept design plan presentation and formulation of recommendations Incorporating public art into the plan Final recommendations for the concept design plan 8 Working Group Vision Statement Children created their visions of the Park during the initial community process. Virginia Avenue Park Expansion Recommended Concept Design The Working Group developed a Vision Statement to guide their deci- sion-making process. The guiding principles included: . Virginia Avenue Park shall be a safe, attractive, environmentally sen- sitive neighborhood and family-oriented Park that is dedicated to the enjoyment, improvement, and well-being of the community from 0-120 years of age with special emphasis on youth programs. . The design and integration of the expansion areas shall build upon the Park's strong neighborhood orientation and character. Integra- tion of the expansion areas shall result in a seamless design linking the existing Park acreage to the new areas. . Noisy/active Park uses shall be buffered from the adjacent residen- tial properties. . While providing flexibility to accommodate future changes in recreational preferences and respond to changing social, educa- tional and cultural needs of the community, a balance shall be main- tained between interior program space and exterior recreation and open space. The design treatment shall be built upon the "living room" con- cept allowing for multiple activities by varying age groups to occur in areas of the Park at different times of the day. . The Park design shall incorporate environmentally friendly materi- als and features that promote water conservation, recycling and re- use, and that can be efficiently maintained and effectively operated. . Fnnding needs for on-going Park operations and maintenance shall be factored into the design to ensure the long-term viability of Park facilities and programs. . A construction phasing plan shall be implemented to allow for areas of the existing Park to remain open during construction, while pro- ceeding diligently to complete the Park expansion by January 2002. 9 Building Options and Scenarios Virginia Avenue Park Expansion Recommended Concept Design The Working Group considered three options for incorporating the 0.8- acre expansion site into the park design. Two building scenarios were presented for each option. Option 1: Scenario A Scenario B Decompress Current Program Add 3, OOOsf for existing programs to operate more efficientfy and provide necessary administrative office support space. Both buildings in Western Expansion Area are demolished. Scenario A: Renovate PAL Fitness Gym, build a new 3,OOOsf building and a rest room addition to Thelma Terry Center. Provide parking along Pico Blvd. and retain some existing parking. Scenario B: Add 3, OOOsf to Thelma Terry Center. Provide parking along Pico Blvd. and through Park to Virginia Ave. Option 2: Scenario C Scenario D Expand Youth & Cultural Programs 15, OOOsf is added to accommodate new youth and cultural programming Scenario C: Renovate parts of all existing buildings forming a campus plan for specific program elements. Provide parking along Pico Blvd. and through the Park to Virginia Ave. Scenario D: Demolish Terry Center and PAL Fitness Gym, renovate and add to Buildings A and B. Parking cuts Park in half and connects Pica Blvd. to Virginia Ave. ./1' L1:::-.'-<:~- .'. ."1_. " - ,-. -- . . Option 3: Scenario E Scenario F Expand Programming & Add A Gymnasium A new 16,000-17, OOOsf building for a gymnasium and youth and cultural program space is added. Both buildings in Westem Expansion Area are demolished. Scenario E: Develop a new 16,000- 17,000sf building at corner of 21S1 St. and Pico Blvd. Provide parking along Pico Blvd. and through Park to Virginia Ave. Scenario F: Renovate existing PAL Fitness Gym and add an new 16,000- 17, OOOsf facility to the south of it. Provide parking along Pico Blvd. and Virginia Ave. ~ ';t 10 Recommended Concept Design Plan Green Oval A bird's eye view of the Recommended Concept Design Plan, looking south Virginia Avenue Park Expansion Recommended Concept Design The Working Group preferred Option 2 and expressed preference for Scenario C because of the added flexibility that a campus solution provides. In this scenario the unique needs of different user groups can be addressed in a series of separate building spaces that are linked by courtyards. Based upon this initial recommendation, a refined concept design plan was developed and is being recommended for implementa- tion by the Working Group. The recommended concept design plan for the expansion of Virginia Avenue Park: . places an emphasis on enhancing the amount of open green space . provides for increased indoor program activity areas including a sepa- rate space identified for a youth center . orients the Farmer's Market towards Pico Boulevard . accommodates quiet zones to buffer adjacent neighbors from noise intrusion The eastern end of the Park will feature a large Green Oval grass area. Slightly smaller in size than a regulation youth soccer field, it will be available for passive recreation, unstructured play, field garnes, and com- munity events and festivals. A small performance stage is provided at the western end of the Oval, and is oriented towards the intersection of Pico and Cloverfield Boulevards. A half basketball court and sand volleyball court are sited adjacent to the Oval. Flowering and evergreen trees ring the Oval and a walking/jogging path defines the edge. ~. 11 Virginia Avenue Park Expansion Recommended Concept Design , ~ '-0': ,,' j ~ I L l .'0': ',' CLOVERFIELD BLVD.

Picnic and barbeque areas are clustered in this area and an out door environmental classroom for environmental education and other programming is sited between the Virginia Avenue Green and the Green Oval. Pavilion Directly to the south of the Thelma Terry Center, the Pavilion, an open air shade structure created by the structural members of the existing PAL Fitness Gym, and Pavilion Lawn provide a setting for the Farmers Market, special events, and informal gatherings. The soil structure will allow vehicular parking and heavy foot traffic. This gathering space is framed on two sides by formal rows of trees extending in a north-south direction. Two regulation size basketball courts extend along the Lawn's eastern side. Public Art At the western end of the Park a series of "living rooms" are formed by buildings and their associated courtyards and patios. Through the inte- gration of public art, these spaces and the adjacent parking areas will be enlivened and people that pass through and utilize the facilities regu- larly will be engaged. Reflecting historical and cultural themes, artistic mediums that are contemplated for this area include murals, terrazzo and relief sculpture.

Virginia Avenue Park Expansion Recommended Concept Design comer, landscape treatments will be emphasized as an art form to cre- ate a strong and meaningful identity for the Park and the surrounding neighborhood. The Thelma Terry Center will be remodeled to improve interior ambi- ence and usability. Enhanced building entrances, an enlarged front lobby, and improved connections between the interior and exterior patio spaces provide a welcoming environment to the public. Rooms which currently house the computer lab and the employment and youth and family ser- vices programs will be remodeled for community meetings, programs, and possibly provide a new home for the Police sub-station. A Central Garden provides a connection between the Thelma Terry Center and Building A. This informal gathering space will host contem- plative outdoor activities. Building A will be reduced to 7,500sf and re- modeled to provide a prominent lobby entrance facing the Central Gar- den that is visible to both Virginia Avenue and Pico Boulevard. A com- bination of staff offices, separate facilities for the employment and youth and family services programs, a new PAL Fitness Gym, and community meeting/program rooms are recommended uses for Building A. -I~ ----- ---- 14 Building B Play Features The new recreation facilities are clustered around the Thelma Terry Center and the activity kiosk in the center of the Park. Virginia Avenue Park Expansion Recommended Concept Design A courtyard with both landscape and hardscape features will connect Building A to Building B. At 6,600sf this building will form the western edge of the campus and is recommended to be renovated for a youth center targeted to older youth, and to provide for storage and mainte- nance space, replacing the existing maintenance shed and storage con- tainers. Two handball courts located within the courtyard and visible from activity spaces in both Buildings A and B are sited towards Pico Boulevard and buffered from residential neighbors to the north by land- scaping and a screen wall. The central area of the Park features two children's play areas: one with play equipment appropriate for toddlers, and one geared for older children. A shaded arbor with seating connects to the two play areas, providing a comfortable place for parents and other caregivers to ob- serve the play. An interactive water play feature with timed water sprays provides a warm weather activity for children. The area serves as a small plaza when not in use and is located to the south of the children's play area on the east side of the Thelma Terry Center. 15 Pool Park Parking Neighborhood drop-offs will stifl be possible in front of the new lobby of the Thelma Terry Center. The lobby will open onto the Central Garden, providing a link to Building A. Virginia Avenue Park Expansion Recommended Concept Design In response to community sentiment for a swimming pool at the Park, a permanent recreational pool is featured on the east side of the Thelma Terry Center. At 1,400sf and 0-3 1/2 feet in depth, the pool will provide a neighborhood recreational swimming location for young children. Envisioned to operate during warm months only, the pool will have removable fencing for controlled access, and a permanent cover con- verting the area into a plaza. New restrooms are centrally located be- tween the pool area and basketball courts. An activity kiosk is attached to the restroom building for storage of play equipment and program supplies for outdoor park activities. The activity kiosk includes a 10'xlO' food preparation area for use during Farmer's Market and. other Park events. Approximately 100 permanent parking spaces are provided for pub- lic use, meeting the estimated demand generated on a daily basis by the recommended concept plan. 50 spaces will be retained in the exist- ing lot and continue to be accessed from Virginia Avenue. A new 50- space parking lot along the Pico Boulevard frontage is provided with access from the existing curb cuts at the intersection of 23rd Street and between 21'1 and 22nd Streets. Designed in a serpentine manner with 4 I 16 Parking for Special Events and Farmer's Market II A new permanent parking area on Pico Boulevard will provide access to the new facilities in Buildings A and B. Staff parking is provided behind Building B. fJ The Farmer's Market will set up on the Pavilion Lawn. A proposed arrangement of stalls in two double loaded aisles allows the Pavilion to be used for special demonstrations and as a social gathering spot for the neighborhood. ~ Temporary parking for the Farmer's Market and other special events is adjacent to the basketball courts. This area will be accessed only (ro,71 Pico Boulevard. Virginia Avenue Park Expansion Recommended Concept Design considerable landscaping to encourage slow driving, this parking lot will buffer the Park along the Pico Boulevard frontage. Gates are incor- porated to allow areas of the parking to be closed if desired to provide a hard surface for skateboarding and/ or roller hockey. For special events and the weekly Farmer's Market additional parking will occur on the lawn west of the Green Oval and on one basketball court, if necessary. Approximately 80 spaces can be accommodated in this area with access from Pico Boulevard. The soil substructure will be designed for weekly parking and traffic on the lawn. Methods to pro- tect the basketball court surface such as temporarily covering the sur- face will be necessary if it is to be used for parking. Management of the use and access to the public parking will be required to ensure that it is available for use by Park patrons and to protect the surrounding neighborhood from traffic intrusion particularly during Farmer's Market and other special events. Approximately 15 staff parking spaces will be provided to the north of Building B with keyed access from 21 st Street. This parking lot also pro- vides vehicular access to the maintenance and storage facilities proposed for Building B. >- Ii 21ST.
