BACKGROUND 1. The City of Chula Vista is requesting approval to build a 37,000 sq. ft. library facility and potential facility expansion plan. The project is located on six acres at the southeast corner of Fourth and Orange Avenues in the R-2-P zone district. The proposal includes a literacy center, a 100 seat multipurpose conference room, a co]]ection of 178,000 books for children, young adults and adults, and other library amenities designed to serve the bilingual, bicultural Montgomery Community. A parking area with a capacity for 175 vehicles and reserved area for an additional 50 spaces wi]] serve the proposed facility. 2. An Initial Study, IS-89-79, of possible adverse environmental impacts of the project was conducted by the Environmental Review Coordinator on December 13,1989 and Addendum on April 1993. The Environmental Review Coordinator concluded that there would be no significant environmental effects and recommends that the Negative Declaration an Addendum be adopted. 3. The Design Review Committee wi]] consider the project architecture and site design on the afternoon of April 28, Their action wi]] be reported to the Commission at the meeting, B. RECOMMENDATION I.

DISCUSSION 1. Zoning and Land Use: Zoning Land Use Site R-2-P North R-l South S-92 East R-3 West MHP/CC Vacant SFD (across Orange Avenue) SDG&E easement Apartment Complex Mobile home park/convenience market across Fourth Avenue. 2. Existing Site Characteristics: The project site is a 6 acre, rectangular-shaped lot located at the southeast corner of Fourth and Orange Avenue within the R-2-P zone district. The site is presently occupied by several vacant structures, as well as scattered trees and shrubs. The slope of the site falls diagonally from northwest to southeast. The surrounding land uses include a mobile home park to the west (across Fourth Avenue), a multifamily apartment complex to the east, a SDG&E easement to the south and single family dwellings to the north (across Orange Avenue). 3. Proposed Use: The development proposal consists of removing all eXlstlOg structures and clearing the site to allow the construction of a public library and parking for 175 vehicles with access to both Fourth and Orange Avenues. Although staffing levels have not yet been determined, there will be a maximum of 29 employees and the hours of operation will be as follows: Monday - Thursday Friday and Saturday Sunday lOam to 9 pm 10 am to 6 pm 12 pm to 5 pm 3.2- City Planning Commission Agenda Item for Meeting of April 28, 1993 Page 3 D. ANALYSIS Site Selection In 1987, the City of Chula Vista adopted a Library Master Plan. The Plan identifies the need for an additional library in the Montgomery area, which is presently served by two small County libraries; the Castle Park/Otay Library located at 1152 Third Avenue, and the Woodlawn Park library located at 552 Spruce Street. The Master Plan also provides guidelines for facility size and general location in order to achieve an acceptable level of library service within the City through the year 2010. A supplemental study was conducted to determine the best location for two additional libraries: one for the Montgomery Community, and the other for the Sweetwater/Bonita Planning Area. For the Montgomery/Otay Community, the study researched 6 potential sites. Although the subject site was not ranked as the preferred site, its advantages in terms of cost, availability of land and general location outweighed the disadvantages of not being within a commercial hub and somewhat south of the Community population center. As a result, on February, 1991, the City Council authorized staff to proceed with acquisition and facilities planning. Compatibility The six acre site and adjoining SDG&E easement allows for substantial separation from adjacent uses creating, in essence, a highly visible stage for this Civic building. A series of town meetings and design review workshops were organized for surrounding residents and other community representatives. Most of the issues raised and recommendations made during these meetings have been resolved and/or incorporated into the project design (see board and committee minutes) Parking Parking requirements for libraries and other Unclassified Uses are not specified in the Zoning Ordinance, Instead, the Planning Commission is authorized to determine the required parking based on a comparison of similar facilities and individual project needs. In a recent survey of other San Diego County Communities, it was found that the current parking requirements range from I space for each 200 sq. ft. to I space for each 350 sq. ft. of gross building area. The proposed library provides a ratio of I space for each 211 sq. ft. of building area. This is well within the range of parking requirements for other municipalities and includes bus parking and drop-off areas. The Library Board and staff are satisfied that the available parking will meet the demand. ~, 3 City Planning Commission Agenda Item for Meeting of April 28, 1993 Page 4 Level of Service As indicated above, the Chula Vista Public Library Master Plan has established the need for additional library facilities to bring the current levels of gross sq. ft./population from 0.42 to 0.80 sq. ft. per person. In order to achieve this level, the Master Plan suggests the construction of a 40,000 sq. ft. library in the Montgomery/Otay Planning area, a 40,000 sq. ft. library in the Sweetwater/Bonita area, and a 17,000 sq. ft. library in the eastern territories. The total square footage of proposed facilities, together with the existing 55,000 sq. ft. library would achieve the desired ratio of 0.80 sq. ft. per person. The proposed facility, although slightly less than the desired 40,000 sq. ft., achieves a 0.75 ratio when measured against the intended service area (Montgomery population 49,000), and contributes substantially to the goals and objectives of the City's Library Master Plan. The plan also includes provisions for expansion. Accessibility The site is served by Chula Vista Transit, which connects the library with the Palomar and "H" Street trolley stations and a substantial segment of the City's residential neighborhoods. Conclusion Based on the factors discussed above, staff is recommending approval of PCC-93-29 WPC F:\home\plam1mg\836.93 3.1 DRAFT PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION 3-5 RESOLUTION NO.

Project Setting The proposed project site consists of five parcels of approximately 9.85 total acres of land and is located on the southeast corner of Hermosa and Orange Avenues in the Montgomery area of the Ci ty. The two northwes tern parcels of the site, one of 2.43 acre and the other of .67 acres, contain three single family residences, a small church, and a recreation hall for the church. The northeastern 2.95 acre parcel of the site is vacant. A SGD&E right-of-way for high power transmission lines tranverses the southern 3.80 acres of the site. Surrounding uses include single family houses to the north, a mobilehome park and an el ementary school to the south, an apartment compl ex and a storage lot to the east, and a mobilehome park and SOG&E right-of-way to the wes t. B. Project Description The proposed park master plan involves the construction of a park, which will contain a 35,000 sq. ft. library, a 10,000-12,000 sq. ft. community center, a competition size swimming pool, picnic areas, open play fields, a tot lot, a small amphitheater, a jogging path, and approximately 325 parking spaces. C. Compatibility with Zoning and Plans The proposed project compl ies with the City adopted County zoning of RV-15, AVDS-94 in effect for the area as well as the general plan designation of ~arks and Recreation. D. Compliance with the ThresholdlStandards Policy 1 . Fi re/EMS The distance to the nearest fire station is 3/4 mile and the Fire Department estimated reaction time is 5 minutes. The department will be able to provide an adequate level of fire protection for this project without an increase in equipment or personnel. 2. Police The Police Department is currently maintaining level-of-service based on the threshold standards. an accePtab~ff? ~ - ~ -:a.. :-11--: ~~~~ . clt)' of chula vlata planning departm.nt 01Y OF ....vlronm.nt., revI.w ..ctlon CHULA VISTA -2- 3. Traffic Provided that the applicant completes the widening of Hermosa and Orange Avenues to account for intersection transition, installs street lights on Orange Avenue, provides curb and gutter and sidewalks, and possible moving of street lights on Hermosa Avenue to the median, the project would not adversely affect the existing levels of service on roads or intersections in the vicinity. 4. ParklRecreation The Parks and Recreation department has determined that the proposed project will not exceed adopted threshold standards. 5. Drainage The Engineering Department has reviewed the proposed project and has determi ned that wi th the install ati on of curb and gutters and a drainage system, the project will not exceed adopted threshold standards. 6. Sewer The Engineering Department has reviewed the proposed project and has determined that by connecting a portion of the sewer to an a-inch sewer main located on Orange Avenue, the project will not exceed adopted threshold standards. 7. Water The Sweetwater Authority has been notified and has not identified any constraints to providing an adequate water supply. E. Identification of Environmental Effects 1. Lighting No si gnifi cant en vi ronmental effects have been f denti fied in thi s initial study; however, the additional lighting on the site could potentially impact nearby residents. Prior to project approval by City Council, the applicant will be required to show that the proposed lighting will not negatively impact the nearby residents or will provide mitigation for the same. 2. Power Lines Potential environmental concern regarding this project is the location of the SDG&E high power transmission 1 ines on the southern portion of the site. The health risks associated with energy fields .3.~3 -3- of el ectri ci ty are an ongoi ng topic of concern and research wi thi n the sci enti fi c cOlll11uni ty, however, there is no concl us ive evi dence confinning that power lines do in fact cause health problems in humans at the date of this report. The Planning Department is aware of thi s concern and is keepi ng updated on the latest research and data available on this subject and does not feel that there is conclusive evidence available to show this to be a significant environmental impact. 3. Displacement of Residents Although there will be approximately six people displaced by this project, under CEQA guidelines, this does not constitute a potential environmental impact because of the relatively small number of people being displaced. The City plans to purchase the properties at 341 Orange Avenue, 379 Orange Avenue, 395 Orange Avenue, and 1427 Hennosa Avenue from the owners and has a legal obligation to assist the residents in finding housing which is decent, safe, an adequate size, within their financial means and is in a suitable location. Included in this assistance to the residents, is payment to assist in carrying out their move. F. Mitigation necessary to avoid significant effects 1. Lighting No significant environmental effects are expected as a result of this project; however, as previously discussed, the full impact of the proposed lighting is not clear at this time. Should the impact of the lighting be found to have a potentially significant effect during the design review process, appropriate mitigation will be required. 2. Power Lines To date there is no documented evidence confinning adverse effects on humans from proximity to power lines; therefore, no mitigation is required at this time. 3. Displacement of Residents Due to the relatively small number of people potentially displaced by the project, no mitigation is deemed necessary. This potential social impact is not considered to be significant since the City plans to purchase the properties from the owners and the people that will potentially be displaced, will be assisted by the City in fi ndi ng decent, adequate housi ng and al so recei ve payment to assist in carrying out their move. 3 - ~ c..f -4- G. Findings of Insignificant Impact Based on the following findings, it is determined that the project described above will not have a significant environmental impact and no environmental impact report needs to be prepared. 1. The project has the poter.tial to substantially degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal communi ty, reduce the number or restri ct the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal, or el iminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory. The proposed park master pl an will not degrade the environment or curtail the diversity of the environment. 2. The project has the potential to achieve short-term environmental goals to the disadvantage of long-term environmental goals. The proposed park master plan does not have the potential to achieve short-term envi ronmental goal s to the di sadvantage of the long-term environmental goals. 3. The project has possible effects which are individually limited but cumulatively considerable. As used in the subsection, .cumulatively consi derabl e" means that the incremental effects of an indivi dual project are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future projects. The proposed park master plan will not result in any environmental effects that are cumulative in nature. 4. The environmental effects of a project will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly. The proposed park master plan contains no environmental effects which coul d cause adverse effects on human bei ngs, ei ther di rectly or indirectly. ,a,2S -5- H. Consultation 1.

IJ'.'TRODUCTION The environmental review procedures of the City of Chula Vista allow the Environmental Review Coordinator (ERC) to prepare an addendum to a Negative Declaration or Environmental Impact Report, if one of the following conditions is present: 1, The minor changes in the project design which have occurred since completion of the Fina] EIR or Negative Declaration have not created any new significant environmental impacts not previously addressed in the Fina] EIR or Negative Declaration; 2, Additional or refmed information available since completion of the Final EIR or Negative Declaration regarding the potential environmental impact of the project, or regarding the measures or alternatives available to mitigate potential environmental effects of the project, does not show that the project will have one or more significant impacts which were not previously addressed in the Final EIR or Negative Declaration. This addendum has been prepared in order to provide' additional information and analysis concerning human health, social displacement, lighting, soils, traffic, and Iand use impacts. As a result of this analysis, the basic conclusions of the Negative Declaration have not changed. Human health, socia] displacement, lighting, soils, traffic, and land use impacts are found to be less than significant for the proposed project. Therefore, in accordance with Section 15164 of the CEQA Guidelines, the City has prepared the following addendum to the Negative Declaration for the South Chula Vista Library IS-89-79. n. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The proposed project originally, 'Jnsisted of the construction of a park which would contain }-,/5 a 35,000 square foot library, a 10,000-12,000 square foot community center, a competition size swimming pool, picnic areas, open play fields, a tot Iot, a small amphitheater, a jogging path, and approximately 325 parking spaces. The project, as revised, includes only the construction of a 37,032 square foot, single-story public library, passive park uses, and 175 parking spaces, The library includes a literacy center and meeting room complex. Associated with the project are improvements and street widening at the southeast corner of Fourth and Orange Avenues. Work will include raised medians, curb, gutter, sidewalk, asphalt/concrete pavement, street lighting, Iandscaping, and traffic signal modifications, Two trees within the public right-of-way will be removed, Discretionary actions associated with the project include a Conditional Use Permit to allow a library in a residential zone, III. PROJECT SETTING The site is currently predominantly vacant and covered with gravel, grass, and weeds, Several small trees are on the site, One single-family home is in the middle of the site and several singJe-family dwellings and a church are on the east portion of the site. All of the structures are vacant, Two dumpsters are on the eastern portion of the site. The site has been previously graded, An SDG&E right-of-way containing twin 138 KV transmission lines and 69 KV subtransmission lines transverses the southern boundary of the site from east to west. Adjacent uses include a mobile home park to the west (across Orange Avenue), multi-family apartment buildings to the east, single-family residential to the north, and the SDG&E easement to the south, IV. IDENTIFICATION OF ENVIRONME!'I'TAL EFFECTS A, Human Health ImDacts The project, as originally proposed, included a public park which would have been partially located within the SDG&E easement. Concerns about the possible health effects caused by exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMF) associated with electric utility lines were raised at that time. As a result of these concerns and concerns raised by adjacent residents regarding possible crime associated with the park, the site plan was revised to eliminate the park, Under the current proposal, the library is set back approximately 150 feet from the edge of the transmission line easement. The parking lot provides a buffer between the building and the easement. There is presently a lack of consistent scientific data regarding the health hazards caused by human exposure to EMF from high-voltage transmission Iines, Exposure to EMF has been mitigated for the project due to the distance separating the transmission lines from the library structure, Since most fields fall off at a distance of 150 feet from the source, and since the potential for exposure to library portions would be intermittent and not chronic, human health impacts are found to be less than significant , .3,.'1(, B. Social DisDlacement ImDacts Initial Study 89-79 identified the displacement of six residents on the site as a potential social impact. Measures required to mitigate this impact to a Ievel below significant included purchasing the properties from the owners, assisting the residents in fmding decent, adequate housing, and providing payment to assist in carrying out the move. These measures were implemented, and there are currently no residents living on the site, Thus, since the City has fulfilled its obligation with regard to the former residents, social displacement impacts are found to be Iess than significant, C. Lil!htinl! ImDacts Additional lighting on site could potentially impact nearby residents. Prior to issuance of a building permit, the applicant must show to the satisfaction of the Planning Director that the proposed lighting is of a type which can be shielded from surrounding areas to ensure that impacts to nearby residents are less than significant. With conformance to City performance standards regarding shielding, lighting impacts are found to be less than significant. D, GeologvlSoijs ImDacts A soils report conducted by Robert Prater Associates (January 1991) examined the soil types that exist at the project site and the engineering design measures required to permit the of construction of a 35,000 square foot library, The study found generally sandy clay with a low to medium expansion potential. No free ground water was encountered, and no faults are known to pass through the site. It was concluded that the site is suitable for construction of the proposed building, provided that the recommendations presented in the report are followed, These recommendations included directions for excavation, fIll, slope, drainage and other construction activity, With adherence to all recommendations of the geotechnical report and any requirements of the City Engineering Division, soils impacts will be less than significant. E, Traffic ImDacts During the construction phase of the library facility, as well as during the street improvements to Fourth and Orange Avenues, traffic may be temporarily impacted, Significant short-term traffic impacts would be associated with building activity, public works personnel, and construction equipment, Traffic impacts would be short- term and terminate upon project completion, and therefore, these traffic impacts would not be significant. The street widening and improvements are required to ensure that the proposed project will not adversely affect the existing levels of service on roads or intersections in the vicinity, The project, as revised, will generate substantially less traffic than the park and associated facilities propos_-d in the original project. Traffic l~'f7 impacts were not found to be significant in the onginal Negative Declaration, Thus, traffic impacts from the proposed project are found to be less than significant. F. Land Use InlDacts The site is zoned for one and two-family residential (R2P) and designated on the Chula Vista General Plan as Parks and Recreation. It is designated in the Montgomery Specific Plan as Iow/medium density residential (3-6 du/ac). The Montgomery Plan identifies the site as an alternative site for a library. Libraries are unclassified uses which may be sited in any zone or General Plan designation with a Conditional Use Permit. Furthermore, the library site designates a portion of the site for future passive recreation uses. Thus, the proposed project is consistent with the General Plan and zoning, and Iand use impacts are found to be Iess than significant. V. CONCLUSION Human health impacts are found to be less than significant for the proposed project due to the distance of separation between the proposed structure and the transmission lines, Soils impacts are found to be less than significant with adherence to the recommendations contained within the geotechnical report undertaken for the project. Social displacement impacts are found to be less than significant due to the relocation measures previously implemented by the City, Lighting impacts are found to be less than significant with compliance to City performance standards regarding shielding. Traffic impacts were found to be less than significant due to the reduced scale of the proposed project as compared to the previously proposed project, as well as the street improvements which will be undertaken in the project vicinity, Land use impacts are found to be Iess than significant with a conditional use permit. Pursuant to Section 15164 of the State CEQA Guidelines and based upon the above discussion, 1 hereby fmd that the project revisions to the proposed project will result in only minor technical changes or additions which are necessary to make the Negative Declaration adequate under CEQA. ).tv.

Mr. Almaraz described the project and walked the audience through the floor plan and a working model of the library. Following the presentation, the audience, numbering approximately 20 citizens and staff members, was invited to comment. A number of people raised the issue of traffic problems on Quintard and Oranges. They asked that Quintard be made a cul-de-sac. (not part of the library project, the issue will be referred to Traffic Engineering) Many people asked about safety on the library site. Would there be adequate lighting? (yes) Will parking lot be closed after hours? (can be considered) How will graffiti be prevented? (by use of ground cover, plants and exterior wall treatments) Could a pOlice sub station be located in the library? (maybe) There were relatively few questions about the design. One person asked whether the courtyards would be accessible to patrons (yes, but secured from the outside). One person commented that they did not like the proposed color, but others said they did like it. Other questions related to the roof treatments (copper) and the pyramid roof heights (15 to 25 feet).

Preliminary Presentation South Chula Vista Library Southeast corner Oranv:e Avenue & Fourth Avenue Staff Presentation Associate Planner Luis Hernandez introduced the project, a new branch library to be constructed at the southeast corner of Orange and Fourth Avenue, advising the committee that this was a preliminary presentation intended to keep the committee updated as to the status of the site plan and building design and to obtain the committee's input. Mr. Hernandez advised that since preliminary drawings had not been available for staff review in time for the meeting, the project architect would be presenting the project for the committee; staff will provide an analysis at a later time. Mr. Hernandez stated that formal presentation of this project to the committee is tentatively scheduled for the March 8, 1993 meeting, He then introduced John Mattox, of LPA, project architect working with architect Ricardo Legorreta, and David Palmer, acting Library Director. Apphcant Presentation David Palmer, acting Library Director, explained that this project was being partially funded by a $6.7 million grant from the state. He stated that the previous presentation to the committee had been a preliminary presentation for the grant competition. Since the grant had been awarded, there is also a high level of project review by the state library. Additionally, community input had also been obtained at a variety of community meetings. Project Architect Jim Mattox stated that the state library is currently reviewing the latest plans for the facility, and approval is anticipated. Mr. Mattox reviewed the current site plan for the project, noting that the building has been pulIed as far as possible from the SDG&E easement at the south of the site. He reviewed the floor plan, noting such features as a gallery to accommodate special exhibits, a literacy center, and a cafe. Mr. Palmer pointed out that this project if very community focused; the courtyards, cafe, gallery, browsing area, literacy center, and other special features are designed to make this a place that will involve the people of the community. Mr. Mattox described the work of architect Ricardo Legorreta, and provided a book detailing many of his past projects. A model of the proposed library was presented for the committee members to review. Committee Ouestions/Concerns Chair Gilman asked if computers would be utilized in the new library; Mr. Palmer responded that the library would be completely automated, would utilize a Iocal area network, and would include a technology user center. He added that changes in technology were occurring very rapidly, and that these ongoing changes will affect the final technological offerings in the library once it is complete. In response to questions, Mr. Mattox stated that a rain gutter system could be used to avoid water staining problems. Committee members reviewed the model presented and ~.,- r DESIGN REVIEW COMMITrEE -5- JANUARY 25. 1993 offered comments, generally expressing approval of the project's architectural style and many features. Chair Gilman expressed some concerns about the proposed colors; she also suggested that parts of the building, such as the literacy center, could utilize a different color. It was recommended that this project be presented during the daytime to give a truer idea of the proposed colors. Member Rodriguez pointed out that there is an eXistIng pathway through the site currently used by pedestrians, running from the southwest to the northeast comer. Members agreed that this should be addressed in the site pIan. Chair Gilman summarized the concerns expressed by the committee as follows: entry identification/location; a pedestrian pathway through the parking lot area needs to be recognized/addressed; while members appeared to be comfortable with strong colors, some concern was voiced about this particular color. Chair Gilman thanked Mr. Mattox and Mr. Palmer for their presentation. F.

PRELIMINARY DESIGN FOR SOUTH CHULA VISTA LIBRARY A. t I . . Introductory Remarks - Wllllam Alexander, Chairman of Library Board of Trustees Library Board Chairman Alexander welcomed everyone to the meeting. He commented on an article in the Los Angeles Times which said that the ne.' library "promises to be an architectural landmark and a first class library". He further commended the extraordinary effort expended by Library staff to obtain the grant and the vision and hard work by City staff and Council members to secure the site, and find the necessary funds proving that Chula Vista still places a great value on its library system. The new library may prove to'be a economical inducement to businesses thinking to locate in Chula Vista. One of the first questions they ask is about the public library. ~r. Alexander finished Argentinean Author Jorge imagined that paradise is with a short quote Luis Borges who said, a kind of library". from the I've always B. Background on Grant Award - Rosemary Lane, Library Director Library Dir~ctor Lane, gave a brief history of the California Construction and Renovation Bond Act and commended the City Council on their vision to spend the $114,000 reguired to hire an architectural firm to prepare the schematic noor plan, site plan and elevation dra.'ings required in the grant application. On April 23, 1991 Chula Vista was one of eight 3-?:a libraries ..elected to receive these funds and was awarded $6,747,528. An architectural selection committee interviewed 8 firms and selected LPA, Inc. in conjunction with the prestigious architectural firm of Legorreta Arquitectos to design this project. Plans for the new 35,000 sq. ft. library at the corner of Fourth and Orange Avenue provide for 165,000 books and 175 parking spaces. Plans will allow for the addition of another 10,000 sq ft in the future with the ability to add another 50 parking spaces. Councilman Rindone asked the Library Director how, the square footage in the public areas of the civic Center Library compared to that planned for the South Chula Vista Library. Director Lane responded that the South Chula Vista Library would be 5,000 sq. ft. smaller than the Library at Fourth and F Street which has 40,000 sq. ft. on street level for public use. Councilman Rindone stated that the new library will be more like a second main library. That concept is important because it is a significant asset to the area. Councilman Moore asked how many parKing spaces were at the Civic Center Library. Director Lane responded that there were 144. c. Presentation Philosophy for Legorreta Mr. Legorreta stated his pleasure to be working on this project and that he is trying to design the library in such a way that it not only accomplishes its function, but it becomes a cultural symbol for the community. He then displayed conceptual drawings and a model of the proposed building. of Preliminary Design and South Chula Vista Library Building - Ricardo The Library will be built around several courtyards to prov ide natural light and open space. Some features include a multipurpose room, a cafe, a gallery, separate childrens and adult areas, public meeting areas and a large outdoor amphitheater. Entrance and egress to the building will be from either Fourth or Orange Avenues with a turnaround in front of the building. Sufficient parking space is available to consider alternatives to rigid 'grid-like conventional shopping center parking. D. Discussion and Input Library Trustee Viesca questioned where the 10,000 sq. ~'?..3 ft. would be added for expansion. Mr. Legorreta responded that the courtyard areas could be converted into additional library space. Councilman Moore questioned how the erchitect intended to prevent the flat roof from leaKing. Mr. Legorreta replied that the roof will have e 4' slope which will prevent leakage. Councilman Rindone questioned the Kind of landscaping to be used at the corners of Fourth and Orange Avenues. Mr. Legorreta responded that landscaping would be designed to help prevent graffiti. Councilman Rindone asked if a second story could be added to the building in the future. Mr. Legorreta responded that it is feasible. Councilman Rindone asked if there would be access to the meeting rooms without access through the main library. Mr. Legorreta responded that meeting areas can be closed off from the rest of the Library and entered from the parking lot. Councilman Rindone asked if there was an area for easy book drop off. Mr. Legorreta responded that this has been addressed. , Councilman Rindone asked for some assurance that staff would be working with the architect so that a minimum number of employees would be needed to operate the building. Library staff responded that the building could be run with as many as 39 employees or as few as 15. Councilman Rindone asked the capacity of the community room. It will hold a hundred people. Councilman Moore aSKed if the new library would have an auditorium. Staff responded that there will be a flat- floored. multi-purpose room. Councilman Malcolm aSKed how many parKing spaces were planned for the South Chula Vista Library and how many were at the Library at Fourth and F Street. Staff responded that 175 spaces are pI anned for the South Chula Vista Library with the possibility of edding 50 more 3. ' ?~ .' spaces. There are 144 ~arking spaces at the Library at 365 F street. Councilman Moore aSKed if anything was learned from the parking problem at the Civic Center Library. Staff replied that a two hour parKing 1 imi t and adequate enforcement help an overcrowded situation. Councilman Rindone complimented the Library Director and the Architect on the unique design. 3.

John Manox of LPA, Inc., and Ricardo Legorreta will present a proposed color palene for the building and the Council will see a model with these exterior colors, Since color is a principal design element in all of Legorreta's work, this will provide the Council with an opponunity for input concerning the color pallet at this critical design stage. David Palmer, Acting Library Director, stated staff was waiting approval from the State on the library plans, It was anticipated that approval would come forth next week. The presentation would review the rermed floor plan, slightJy changed site plan and full color model. Preliminary comments by the State Library Director had been very complimentary, He then introduced John Manox and Jim Ellis from LPA and Miguel AJmaraz representing Legoreno, Mr AJmaraz stated there had been two comments from the State Library Director regarding the plans: 1) the building was too large, and 2) the closeness of the parking to the main access of the building, Those concerns had been addressed in the proposed design, He then reviewed the site, location of the facility, floor plan, and elevatIOns, Mayor Nader questioned whether the proposed fountain would utilize reclaimed water Mr AJmaraz responded that Mayor Nader was correct. Councilman Rindone expressed his concern over the lack of windows on the Fourth Avenue side, Mr, PaJmer responded that there were a few small windows but the State was concerned with the amount of sunlight allowed from the west due to heat and possible damage to the book materials, City Manager Goss noted that with the rotated building it created an alcove and expressed concern over possible security problems. Mr Palmer responded that a control gate would be installed, Councilman Rindone questioned the proposed signage and felt it imponant that signage be visible from the streets. Mr Palmer informed Council that signage would be considered in the next phase of the project. 3-?~ Minuic'S January 28, 1993 I'~ge 2 Councilwoman Horton noted the building was to have a verde finish and questioned whether it would be the color of the model. Mr. Manox responded that it would be close to the color being proposed but noted that the model WiU being reviewed under the florescent lights. The actual finish on the building would be softened by the sun and air quality, He noted that portions of the roof were to be covered with copper and that the patina would be accelerated. Councilman Rindone questioned the anticipated staffing of the facility, Mr. Palmer responded that at any given hour of the day there would be 7.8 staff members required. The new library would be comparable in staffing to the Main Library on Founh Avenue. Councilman Fox questioned the safety aspect of the proposed fountains. Mr. Palmer responded that it was hoped there would be minimal water flow and a glass wall had also been discussed to ensure safety, Mr, Manox informed Council that the area of the Library containing the fountain was currently under study and they would consider Council's comments regarding safety in deliberations.
