Document Description
The Judicial Council is proposing to construct a new Sixth Appellate District Courthouse (Project), at a state-owned asset located at 605 W. El Camino Real, Sunnyvale California 94087 (Site). The Project consists of the demolition of an existing building and the construction of a new courthouse with onsite parking for the Sixth Appellate District of the Court of Appeal in a more practical and accessible infill location. The Site is situated on W. El Camino Real between Mathilda Avenue and Pastoria Avenue. The Site was previously used by the Superior Court of Santa Clara County for trial court operations. The State of California, on behalf of the Judicial Council retains ownership of the Site.
Site preparation would include the demolition of an existing 19,994 square foot one-story building with a partial basement as well as an unused shed structure currently within the parking lot. The Project would additionally involve demolition of approximately 19,760 SF of existing paving, full repaving of 4,580 SF of existing drive access road, resurfacing of 9,800 SF of existing parking area, and paving of 13,200 SF of new parking area to build a new courthouse within the 2.03-acre Site.
The proposed new courthouse would be approximately 50,000 SF up to three stories in height located in the same general footprint as the existing building on the Site. The new courthouse would include one courtroom with support spaces, justice chambers, administrative support and operations areas, a law library, mediation area, public entry and lobby, and a building support area. Approximately 50 parking spaces is estimated to be needed, including 12 secure parking spaces for justices and surface parking for the public and court staff.
