EXECUTIVE SUMMARY BKV G R O U P Master Planning Themes Over a dozen options were explored for the Civic Campus Master Plan, ranging from those that maintained as many existing buildings as possible with minimal Impact to the existing project site, to bolder options exploring the Impacts and value of larger scale changes such as those impacting Woodhill Drive or Howard Johnson Park. Through a review process including project stakeholders, the community, and City Council, the team was directed to refine four schemes that offered a balance of transformative change, fiscal responsibility, operational efficiency, future adaptability and flexibility, and ability to be executed in multiple design and construction phases. Common Themes Identified During Option Development: • Some form of building addition to City Hall will be necessary to provide space for enhanced operations in the future. The current facility can accommodate near -term interior renovation changes within existing work space suites, but lacks enough currently underutilized space to accommodate projected growth in key administrative departments. Expansion would be most efficient to the east of the site, currently landscaped; options could include a lowerlevel vehicle garage for additional city vehicle storage. • Additional surface parking for City Hall staff and visitors would alleviate pressures during peck times and events. The existing Maintenance Facilities are not of a size or construction that would allow efficient consolidations of public works operations as -is: a degree of renovation and new construction will be required to accommodate equipment, support spaces, and to provide safe vehicular mobilization throughout the site. Through planning, it became clear that fully relocating Maintenance offsite would not yield the city a great enough benefit to outweigh purchase and development costs for a new property. Separating this deportment would add some inefficiencies regarding use of these facilities by other city staff. Reconfiguration of the civic campus would allow for expansion of the maintenance yard, beneficial for operations, safe vehicle and equipment movement, and a degree of future adaptability as needs change. Relocation of the VFW from their current building opens up the north side of the site to a more efficient redevelopment, would allow project phasing that could keep the VFW in continuous operation, and would still provide dedicated parking and outdoor green space for the organization. Approaches which fully shift maintenance to the north side of Woodhill allow the existing civic campus to be redeveloped with expanded and dedicated public green space, creating a new public space as the heart of the campus. Reconfiguration of the north side of the site for redevelopment must take into account the value and use of the existing playground, frequently used by adjacent families. Future planning can relocate within the same general area while still accommodating redevelopment. Refer to the Master Planning Approach section of this study for further detail regarding the planning options explored. 11 % BKV GROUP I OERTEL ARCHITECTS ROSEVILLE CIVIC CAMPUS MASTER PLAN STUDY
