2. ALHAMBRA COMMUNITY CENTER DESIGN UPDATE – F2M22-65, M2M24-51\nOn November 13, 2023, the City Council provided staff direction to pursue the “Around\nthe Campfire” building design rendering for the purpose of completing the Environmental\nImpact Report (EIR) project description. In order to fall within the $25 million dollar project\nbudget, the proposed size of the community center must be reduced to 17,000 square\nfeet. Given the budget input and an adaptive re-use request from the Alhambra Historical\n2\n3-25-24\nSociety, the team produced four modified design solutions for a 17,000 square foot\ncommunity center (two 100% new build, and two adaptively reusing a portion of the\nexisting structure). The design team is also providing designs with the option to expand\ntheir square footage by approximately 4,000 square feet should there be additional funding\nin the future. Staff will present four options. The four designs include Scheme I. “Around\nthe Camp Fire”, Scheme II. “Overlooks,” Alternative I. “Flowscapes,” and Alternative II,\n“Connecting Gems.”\nRecommended Action: City Council provide staff direction and choose one of the\nfour Community Center building design options for completing the Environmental Impact\nReport (EIR) project description. Staff will present four options, two new building designs\nand two re-use designs. The four designs include Scheme I. “Around the Camp Fire”,\nScheme II. “Overlooks”, Alternative I. “Flowscapes”, and Alternative II, “Connecting\nGems”; and, direct staff to undertake the steps necessary to finalize the Council’s action.\n(M2M24-51)\nCONSENT AGENDA (Item Nos. 3 – 9)\nAll items listed under the Consent Agenda are considered by the City Council to be routine and\nwill be enacted by one motion unless a citizen or Council member requests otherwise; in which\ncase, the item will be removed for separate consideration.
