Document Description
The proposed project consists of the construction of a new three story courthouse with basement and a new two story city hall building, library expansion, a potential new office building, and the demolition of the existing public defender's and district attorney's buildings. The courthouse would include 14 new courtrooms, offices, courtyard/ plazas, and pedestrian pathways, a payment window, court support and jury facilities, a secure sallyport for transfer of custody, and a secured parking area for judges. Development of the new courthouse would add a total of 207,200 300 building gross sq. ft. (BGSF) to the existing structure, for a total of 240,500 600 BGSF. The new city hall would be located near the southern project boundary and contain approx. 40,000 gross sq. ft. within a two story structure. The proposed library expansion would result in an additional 3,050 sq. ft. of floor space and would occur adjacent to the existing library along Crown Valley Parkway. The potential 61,000 sq. ft. office building would be located at the northeast corner of the project site at the intersection of Pacific Island Drive and Alicia Parkway. The proposed project would also include a surface parking lot with 990 parking spaces for the new courthouse building.
