CC 2013-07-09_10.a. Parking Lot Configuration for Police StationMEMORANDUM
TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: TERESA MCCLISH, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF PARKING LOT CONFIGURATION FOR THE
POLICE STATION UPGRADE PROJECT LOCATED AT 200 NORTH
HALCYON ROAD, ARROYO GRANDE (MINOR USE PERMIT CASE
NO. 13-005)
DATE: JULY 9, 2013
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council: 1) select a parking configuration option for the
Police Station Upgrade project; and 2) provide direction whether or not to include
widening of North Halcyon Road in the project scope of work.
IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES:
The preliminary cost estimate for the Police Station remodel project is $1,410,000, not
including offsite improvements. The following is the total cost estimate as presented last
April: .
Design and Construction (including contingencies) $975,000
Land Acquisition $325,000
Relocation $40, 000
Equipment $60,000
In-House Construction Management $10.000
Total $1,410,000
There is little impact on the total cost projected from the options provided for parking lot
design. If widening of North Halcyon Road along the project frontage is considered, the
preliminary estimate is an increase of $52,000. North Halcyon Street widening is
identified in the list of projects for Transportation Facility Fees in the original
Development Impact Study. Therefore, it is recommended that these improvements be
paid out of the Transportation Facility Fund. Sufficient revenue is available in the fund
balance.
BACKGROUND:
The Police Department does not have adequate space for all personnel to perform
necessary functions. The Police Station on North Halcyon Road was acquired from the
phone company in 1973 and was last expanded in 1989. Staffing and functions have
grown significantly since that time. Key needs include space for the detective unit, the

addition of an emergency operations center to coordinate citywide incident response
activities in the event of a disaster, evidence storage, an adequate area to house
computer equipment, expansion of the dispatch center, adequate parking, and an
appropriate locker room area that addresses Police personnel and ADA requirements.
In addition, there are substantial maintenance issues with the existing building that need
to be addressed, including electrical upgrades, roof replacement and water infiltration in
the south wall.
At the November 27, 2012 meeting, staff presented alternatives to address the Police
Department's facility needs after previous bond measures for additional funds were
narrowly defeated. The City Council approved a preferred plan and alternate plan. The
preferred plan was to construct a new police station at the Old Ranch Road property if
the recreation center project does not proceed. The alternate plan was to expand or
replace the station on the existing site if the Old Ranch Road site is not available. Staff
was also directed not to include removal of some or all of the eucalyptus trees in
alternatives involving potential acquisition of the adjacent VCA Animal Hospital property
at 270 North Halcyon Road.
After staff was notified that efforts to develop the recreation center at Old Ranch Road
were still under way, the alternate plan was reconsidered at the April 13, 2013 meeting.
However, due to Police Department operational needs, financial considerations and
unresolved long-term needs, Council approved a two phase approach. The first phase
is to remodel the existing building to address the highest priority immediate facility
needs. The second phase is to expand or construct a new facility in the future when
long-term needs and financial resources are better known.
The City Council approved the alternate plan for the Police Station Upgrade, authorized
the Purchase and Sale Agreement for the acquisition of the property at 270 North
Halcyon Road, and directed staff to prepare alternatives and recommendations
regarding expansion of employee parking. Parking options were to include both the
preservation and removal of eucalyptus trees on the adjacent property, as well as
consideration of future widening of North Halcyon Road.
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
The VCA Animal Hospital property is being acquired, primarily for the purpose of
parking expansion. Escrow is scheduled to close on July 29th. However, the
configuration of the site does not enable the City to meet all the projected need for
spaces. As a result, staff recommended, and the City Council agreed, to evaluate
alternatives for increasing parking spaces on the site.
A detailed review of the Police Department's parking needs was conducted by staff.
This review included City owned vehicles, mobile equipment currently stored off-site at
the Public Works Corporation Yard and required employee parking. The goal of the
review was to provide for secure parking for City vehicle assets and employee vehicles
and relatively easy access to them. Additionally, the goal of relocating Police
Item 10.a. - Page 2
CITY COUNCIL

PARKING OPTIONS FOR THE POLICE STATION PROJECT
PAGE3
Department vehicles from the Public Works Corporation Yard to the expanded Police
facility was considered.
The review resulted in 10 oversized spaces for patrol vehicles; 1 O standard spaces for
City owned support staff vehicles (Command, Detectives, Neighborhood Services and
Volunteer Patrol); 4 standard spaces for City owned special response vehicles (Mobile
Communications truck, flat bed truck and two four wheel drive Humvees); and 2 spaces
for 5 trailers (radar, generators, sanitation and motorcycle). Oversized spaces are
designed for adequate loading and unloading of police equipment into the vehicles at
shift change. The need to identify a storage area for the DUI/Field Command Post trailer
(30 ft.) also needs to be considered.
In addition to the above City owned assets, parking for employees' personal vehicles
was identified. The highest volume of employees utilizing the parking occurs on
dayshift and/or shift change when there is overlap of personnel for a relatively short
period of time. The estimated maximum load for dayshift employees is 17. This
includes records, dispatch, patrol, detectives, property-evidence and part-time training,
permits and equipment-fleet personnel. This also includes an average of one volunteer
per day. The overlap at shift change includes an additional 6 spaces for arriving
personnel prior to the previous shift departing.
This review indicated the need to provide 49 spaces, 26 for City owned vehicle assets
and 23 for employee vehicles at peak load. This does not account for the Command
Post trailer, ADA spaces or public parking.
Each option identified includes some parking stalls at skewed angles and some with
minimal, but adequate, backup space. This makes it more difficult to add additional
landscaping within the lot. However, it should be noted that the lot will be fenced with a
secure, but decorative fence that will significantly obscure the parking area. Storm
water requirements will be designed once a concept plan is chosen, but the lot will likely
drain to a swale on the Halcyon side of the lot and to the Police Memorial Park area.
Less cost efficient alternatives include permeable pavers and underground storage.
If the eucalyptus trees are maintained, they should be significantly trimmed and the
addition of a covered carport structure is proposed. This will be necessary in order to
make the spaces usable for personal vehicles by protecting them from falling debris.
However, the location of carports on the site will have a visual impact.
Preservation of the eucalyptus trees was identified as one of several important issues
when the proposed VCA Animal Hospital project was considered in 2006. In order to
maintain their existing facility during construction, the new facility was proposed on the
southern portion of the property, which would have eliminated all the trees. The project
was ultimately denied. It should be noted that there were several issues and
circumstances that were different in the 2006 VCA project than in the current Police
parking lot design project.

First, preservation of the trees was only one issue involved in the project denial. Size
and scale of the building in relation to the lot was cited as a key factor in the Council
decision.
Second, the City's general practice is to try to maintain existing mature trees if project
alternatives exist that make that feasible. In the case of the VCA Animal Hospital,
relocation of the building on the site would not only have maintained the trees, but was
preferred for other reasons. In order to achieve close to the City's goals for Police
Station parking on the site, it does not appear that other feasible alternatives exist at
this time.
Lastly, there was a concern that removal of the trees would be precedent setting since
they were located on the property line. Most tree removal requests for construction
projects involve trees near the middle of a site that cannot be worked around. Now that
the City will own the property, which will be combined with the other two Police Station
lots, the trees will be placed near the middle of the construction area.
Other existing trees on site are shown, though a few small trees are also impacted
under different options. It is proposed that any trees removed be mitigated at a ratio of
3: 1. The location and specimen of mitigation trees will be considered in the final
landscape plan after a site option is chosen and recommendations for tree types and
placement are requested from the Tree Guild. Several street trees can be added along
Rena Street. Large specimen trees will also be recommended for the Police Memorial
Park area at the northern point of the property. This would place trees in the most
visible location on the site. It is anticipated that some offsite locations will be needed for
a few of these trees. Potential locations include the Cemetery or the Park and Ride lot
near existing irrigation.
The City's long range plans include the widening North Halcyon Road in order to better
accommodate forecasted traffic volumes. The existing 80 ft. right-of-way is currently
utilized with 6 ft. sidewalks, two 12 ft. travel lanes and two 8 ft. parking lanes for a
majority of the property frontage. Portions of North Halcyon Road, including a portion of
the Police Station frontage have been widened on the east side by an additional 8 ft.
Each option indicates the future curb face and right-of-way lines. Each parking option
can be constructed to the future right-of-way line without impact to parking facilities, but
with a minor impact to landscape width. Full widening of the street is not anticipated for
many years. However, sidewalks must be replaced due to extensive existing damage.
In addition, street trees include unattractive and messy bottle brush. Therefore, since
this area needs to be reconstructed, it may be most cost efficient to perform the
widening at this time along with these improvements.
Improvements will include new driveway approaches on Rena to the south of the
building where the gate is moved to accommodate the building expansion and the new
approach to the north lot. Some additional frontage improvements will be required,

PAGES
including four (4) curb ramp installations at the southwest corner of North Halcyon Road
and Bennett and northwest corner of North Rena and Bennett; approximately 1,014 s.f.
of sidewalk replacement that is damaged or missing and approximately 6,000 s.f. of
road asphalt repair along gutter edge to centerline in the North Halcyon Road frontage.
ALTERNATIVES:
Five options were identified for parking expansion, three of which involved site plans
prepared by the architect for review. A summary of the alternatives presented for
Council consideration are as follows:
• Option I preserves the existing eucalyptus trees, which will result in a total of 33
spaces.
• Option II maintains a portion of the trees and will result in a total of 40 spaces.
• Option Ill removes the trees and will result in a total of 44 spaces.
• Option IV would reduce Rena Street to a one-lane configuration north of Cornwall,
which would allow an additional 3,000+s.f. to be utilized on the east side of the
north parking lot. However, it was not determined to meaningfully increase the
capability for parking spaces.
• Option V involves acquiring additional property on the southern side of the Police
Station to utilize the existing lot. In the future, it could involve using the office
space or demolishing the buildings to provide more parking and/or space for
construction of a new police station.
• Option VI is the decision whether or not to widen North Halcyon Road. Since it will
not impact the capacity of the lot, it is independent of the decision on overall layout
of parking spaces.
ADVANTAGES:
For the purpose of addressing critical needs, each option provides the same benefit in
terms of the building remodel that provides the ability to reconfigure and expand interior
space and the existing secured parking lot for patrol cars and storage. The options
differ in terms of the benefit regarding configuration of the parking lot at the north end of
the site:
Option I (Maintain all eucalyptus trees):
• Eucalyptus trees are preserved consistent with past decisions.
• Significantly more open space is maintained.
Option II (Maintain outer mature eucalyptus trees only):
• Significantly more parking would be generated than Option I.
• It provides a compromise by maintaining some mature eucalyptus trees and
additional open space.
• Both trailer storage and mobile command vehicle parking are included in the north
lot.
Item 10.a. - Page 5
CITY COUNCIL
JULY 9, 2013
PARKING OPTIONS FOR THE POLICE STATION PROJECT
PAGE6
Option Ill (Removal of all eucalyptus trees):
• Parking is maximized for which the lot purchase and improvements are intended
and provides a plan that comes the closest to providing the spaces needed to meet
the projected parking need.
• More room is included to maneuver vehicles.
• An area for both trailer storage and mobile command vehicle parking is included in
the north lot.
Option IV (Rena Street one-lane configuration)
• The parking lot area would be expanded utilizing existing public right-of-way.
Option V (Acquisition of property southeast of Police Station)
• Additional area already developed for parking would be provided.
• Additional building space would be provided that could be used to address other
Police Department needs.
• It would provide a more efficient configuration of the overall property, make it more
feasible to construct a new station on the northern portion of the site in the future,
make it more feasible to widen North Halcyon Road in the future, and the existing
owners have expressed a willingness to entertain an offer to purchase.
Option VI (Widening of North Halcyon Road)
• Since the sidewalks need to be replaced and planting of new trees is
recommended, it would be most efficient to widen the street at this time to avoid
having to later remove the new sidewalks and trees.
• It would align the curb and gutter with the remainder of the Police Station property.
DISADVANTAGES:
Each of the first three options include layouts that work within a challenging space. The
disadvantages for all options include the following:
Option I (Maintain all eucalyptus trees):
• The eucalyptus trees significantly reduce parking, which will require a number of
employees to continue to park on the street in the residential area.
• The trees cause the need for covered carport structures to protect cars from
debris, which will have a visual impact and increase costs.
• The mobile command vehicle parking is not available.
Option II (Maintain outer mature eucalyptus trees only):
• Parking is not maximized due to the remaining trees, which will require a number
of employees to continue to park on the street in the residential area.
• The remaining trees will still cause the need for covered carport structures to
protect cars from falling debris, which will have a visual impact and increase costs.
• The modified design does not result in an efficient layout of the parking spaces and
limits area to back out of spaces.
Option Ill (Removal of all eucalyptus trees):
• The removal and loss of previously preserved mature trees will be required.
• It results in less open space, but this can be largely mitigated with the addition of
the Police Memorial Park area.
Item 10.a. - Page 6

PAGE7
Option IV (Rena Street one-lane configuration):
• This option is not recommended because it provides little increased parking, but a
significant cost to implement.
• It would also result in opposition from some or all of the adjacent property owners
and probably require acquisition of one of the homes due to the impact on access.
Option V (Acquisition of property southeast of Police Station):
• This option is not recommended at this time because there is not sufficient funding
available and there are long-term leases in place with some of the tenants
occupying the buildings.
• However, it is recommended to consider potential acquisition in the future as
money becomes available and leases expire, particularly if it is later determined to ·
construct a new building on the existing site.
Option VI (Widening of North Halcyon Road):
• This would increase the cost of the project for improvements that won't be
necessary for many years.
• Funding the improvements would decrease the funding available for the Brisco
Interchange project, but will have minimal impact given the cost compared to the
project cost and budget for the Brisco Interchange improvements.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, staff
has reviewed the proposed project and determined that it is categorically exempt per
Section 15301 of the Guidelines relating to repair and minor alteration for existing
facilities, and Section 15332 relating to in-fill development projects.
PUBLIC NOTIFICATION AND COMMENTS:
Agenda was posted in front of City Hall on Wednesday, July 3, 2013 and on the City's
website on Friday, July 5, 2013. No comments were received.
